Title: Chlororis Help Please
Post by: Jim on January 28, 2013, 07:16:11 AM
I have about 22 plants that are doing very well. I live in FL and have great blooms throughtout the year.

Just recently I notice two of my plants looking yellow that look like they may have  CHLORORIS. Here is a photo of the worst of them.

First off how do I know if I am lacking in Iron or Magnesium? I do not believe over watering is the problem here. When I planted (10) months all plants were planted in BIG holes with an awful lot of HVH soil, so at least in begining things were great.

I do not know the PH of the soil. But I guess I could find that out too.

Thank you for your time.

I agree, it's hard to see the details but it doesn't look too bad. Winter causes a lot of problems that clear up when spring returns and new growth resumes. It doesn't hurt to treat with iron and magnesium in the meantime.

Sorry about the photos.

I have tried 8 times to load photos from photobucket (where I never had a problem) but it will only let me load postage stamp size.    :o

Charlie I will use both IR and Mag and give it a shot. Maybe too keep my fingers crossed about the winter issues.

Problem is a bit worst than the small photo shows.

I will do what you guys say now. 

Thank you Jim
