Re: Overfertilizing Pix
Only my Pitogo had the wet noodle leaves. Had to unravel the new leaf by hand. When it gained more caliper and leaves the "noodling" stopped. New leaves were darker green and thicker.
My fert regimen was 1 pound per month of 6-2-12 custom Going Bananas blend for new plants under 4 inch caliper. Then 2lbs monthly until the trunk and leaves were dramatically larger. Then 3lbs per month from then on to push the fruit as well as the 2 remaining sword pups for next years fruit. It's a jungle out there right now.
Since driving to Homestead for 6-2-12 is baloney I am switching to Lesco professional fert 12-2-14. It's time release - only have to fert every 3 or 4 months. Lesco has outlets in PSL and Stoot - close to home. "Stoot" is Brooklynese for Stuart, sorry.
