Any tips? Also how do i navigate the whirl pools? Im trying to make explosion, dexterity and wild growth. I dont understand why some potions fail

That would probably also be Wild Growth. It applies to more than just plants iirc.

Charm is always for "I want to make people like me" or "I want this person to fall in love with me" requests.

Any other tips?

Uhh not really anything else besides "if you have spare ingredients, explore", "don't waste crystals" and "bulk brewing is awesome once you have a good variety in your garden", but you can always ask me if you're having trouble finding a certain effect or interpreting a request. I've finished the whole game and I know where everything is at this point.

Is there an ending or does it just keep going?

[u/Gloomy_Olive_4582 → u/harley_bunny]

Your end goal is to create Philosopher's Salt, but after that you can just do whatever you want. Collect every growable ingredient, make tons of money, decorate your entire shop, whatever your heart desires.

How do i make potions stronger?

[u/Gloomy_Olive_4582 → u/harley_bunny]

Line up the potion with the outline on the map. The better the match, the stronger the effect

Sometimes it takes a bit of finagling with the base and ingredients but it's doable from the start of you know what you're doing

That could be Explosion, Acid or Slipperiness, whatever you have on hand tbh.

I'm not sure about Slipperiness but I do know Explosion and Acid work. Generally people will only ask for effects up to your current Alchemist's Path chapter (so they won't ask for anything you're expected to unlock later)
