I’ve used coco wet and yucca as wetting agents with success in the past.

Haven’t used those, but I’m a big fan of horticultural aloe as a wetting agent.

Either 1 will work fine, yucca is cheaper.

Dose is always the most important variable. Surfactants are not typically an issue for microbes unless the concentration was excessive. Yucca is very acidic.

Agreed on dosage being important. I use thermx70, 1.2ml per gallon. I dont ph but its said to be 4.5 – 6.0 PH. I use it with foliar sprays to help spread on the leaf surfaces. Hydrophobic media would be a good reason for it. You dont need it more than a few times, your media will only go to a certain water retention.

A little goes a long way. I also use Thermex70. I use it everytime i hand water, and a quart has lasted me like over 4 years. Its my ph down in a sense lol, because it is very acid as mystro mentioned. I use a peat based soil, with coco mixed in as well. I find it very helpful in achieving a uniform watering within a pot.
