So the new leaves still have some white on them. Not good, I have a theory though.
So a few months ago I pot potash down, this was beginning of spring,
Now I was naive to the fact it increases soil ph. Now it takes time to break it down, but over time it’s increases ph of the soil. I remember spreading it around more around some plants than others. these plants are being affected now. The Orinoco and namwah mainly. So the ph is higher meaning certain micronutrients eg iron aren’t as available.
Giving the nutrients deficiency look like the photos above. So maybe that could be it. The ph of the soil is too high. Some nutrients are avaiove and others aren’t.
It doesn’t help explain the leaves thag are strangling itself.

So what do you think? Getting my soil testing kit on Monday!
