Default Re: AeAe new leaf problem

Thanks for the information Tony and Harvey. The plant gets plenty of full sun till 1:00 pm then part shade the rest of the day. It was planted on slight mound but I water it well twice a week and its has lots of mulch. I planted it using 70% peat, 20-25% compost, the rest soil. I figured the compost mixed with aged horse manure would supply it with enough minerals and micro nutrients. I will try to fertilize it with Dynamite plant food with minors. I will also add lime. I had read before that AeAe liked acid soil and some had planted their plants in nothing but peat but since this problem has only recently developed after I planted it in the ground the soil seems like it could be the culprit.

Thanks Rick
