Have you repotted the plant or placed it in the ground since you last posted about it in 2022?

Yes. It’s in the ground since 2022. It’s been doing great until very recently. The chelated iron product came today.

Have you had a tremendous amount of rain within the past year or so?

Nope.

Nope.

Just wondering. Anyway, fertilize well every month or so and apply the Iron about every 6 months. I would imagine that your base soil there is sandy and if so leaching is a problem, so, the repeated fertilizing and amendments.

If you stop your sprinklers from soaking the ground 2 times a week yellowing should go away. Catch some rain water in large garbage can and use that for a while and it should return back to normal.

Please friend, for a good learning experience for me, if you dump fertilizer please let me know how well that turns out. This is an interesting post. Thank you
