meh Ray will have you believe only his kelpmax works. Kelpmax won't do anything if the plant dries out. It needs some roots first so a high humidity setting and it should be sitting in some spagnum moss that is constantly moist till roots develop.

I have been away for a while since Ray will want to come out to arrest your plants for daring to drink anything except his precious juices, I just know I don't need it. I have tried some bog standard seaweed extract and it's working fine which is what I was looking for.

My order of importance is

1. rainwater - not tap water
2. ph level - I aim for 6.0
3. nutrients (sparingly) - not too much not too little - if no roots no nutrients better than too much
4. booster ( like kelpmax)

The reason I list them like this is because you can use a booster as your main ingredient all you want, if no 1-3 are not right, then any booster will not fix the problem but a booster like seaweed extract, superthrive or even rays magical juices can provide a boost to grow some roots

ps: the plant still looks fine, the lower leaf yellowing is due to stress and too low humidity and the upper leaf looks like it has been snapped off the stem so will die off as a result
