Since I fertilized two weeks ago, the leaves on my tall Orinoco, Manzano, and tall Namwah pop out super light green color and seem thinner, weak, curly and droopy then turn to a really dark nice green. Each plant is about 3-4 feet tall and I also used a foliar spray every other week.
It was is only those three and the Basjoos and small VC new leaves didn't turn light green at all. I was careful with the fertilizer amount (so I think from what other are doing here) and I'm pretty sure I didn't over do it since there is no burning. The pstems got bigger and the color of the rest of the leaves on each plant look very healthy so I thought I was on my way to proper fertilizing for my region.
I searched what could be the problem and all I found were deficiencies but I'm confused how that can be since it started after fertilizing and not before.
Now the new petiole on the tall Orinoco has snapped and it wasnt windy today that I know of. Almost seems like the leaves are too big and petioles are too long for the height or something.
It's rained good for the last 3 days too.
What do you think the issue is?
Thanks!
