you should try flushing and also water her with lime water to add some alkaline to the soil. Like a tea spoon of lime juice for a little more than a half gal of water ratio lime has acid which would help the soil and the plant to absorb nutrients better.

Did you misspeak when you said lime would add alkaline to the soil? Lime juice has a pH of around 2.4 and would lower the pH not make it more alkaline. Did you mean to say it would make it more acidic?

yeah like more acidic is what i was trying to say.. like the lime water would break down the alkaline in the soil allowing more nutes to be absorbed
