I could use some advice/ideas on what I’m doing wrong with these 2 spider plant hydroponics. The first two have struggled since day 1. They have fertilizer in them now, but not always. Attached is a 3rd spider plant that has been getting the same treatment as the others, but is thriving.

When I use fertilizer it kinda killed my plants

### Mia commented on 2023-06-14

I would also pot my spider plants

Might be the lighting? Is there a lighting difference between the 3? Also be sure to dilute the fertilizer!
