Default Re: Newbie's First Year -- Pictures and Questions

i cant answer all of your Questions but all try on the ones i pretty sure of the one you think is a Saba given its waxy blueish leafs id say its a Ice cream i can see the slit brown red in the edges of the pdeuls and leafs that would be my guess as for the firt they do look a bit blues green id back off on the fertilizer a bit looks like to much nitrogen and yes the "K" needs to be higher you can use wood ash if you don't want to buy it i living in a brutishly hot climate too "Vegas" and they ones that are yellow its hard to say but its either over water or to much firt they can grow with out to much fusing and as for the wind blowing you should stake them when u plant them they tend to blow over in high wind so yes thats normal and as for droopy leafs some variates just droop other wise the look fin to me the bigger the leafs get the heaver they are if you go in the the pic section you will see that allot of the really big plants have droopy leafs but I'm not by any means an expert i don't have any Orinoco's but from what if read they tend to grow a bit slower in hot weather there bred more for cold so when it cools of a bit all bet they start to grow faster
