CHLOROSIS ...
cured in one set of leaves, real quick!
these new leaves are a deep happy green, compared to the yellow sickly looking leaves that preceded. They are a dramatic contrast indeed.
The pH was an alkaline~ish 8.0-8.5 before acidifying it with black Kow to a more tropical rainforesty 6.0 pH. The composted manure is similar to the decomposing organic matter rich vegetational floor of a jungle in more than pH alone.
This new set of nice leaves took 2-3 weeks to reflect the newly available nutrients. Having the right pH is essential for the efficient absorption of essential elements needed for healthy growth. About 6~7, or slightly acidic, seems to be the sweet spot here in Florida. YMMV
How are the pH experiences from our KWD members that grow?
