I think i known why Maurellii turn green?
iv been chatting with Gabe over the summer as to why my Maurellii has turned bright green when it was so dark purple at the beginning when i first planted it
i thought enisaly it was the PH so i dosed it with allot of sulfur and iron that had no affect as i was only able to get the Ph down to 6.8 and ideally it needs to be 6 so after that i thought well maybe its a light problem so i erected a shade cloth over it and well you guessed it no affect then i decided to feed the H out of it and guess what after two feedings at two week intervouls its new leaf is fairly deep purple so the food I'm giving it is vary high in Nitrogen and Potassium it one of the ones Richard sells i don't know which one as Scot gave it to me with out the packaging its blue thats all i can tell you and its water soluble you all will have to ask him what he sold Scot as he did not answer my last email on the subject he probably missed it is all so I'm not criticizing him any way thats what if discover its not scientific but it dose aper to be why they turn green Nutrition plain and simple i new it had to be something easy like that but it took all summer to figure it out that all just thought you all would like to know this
