Well, I overwintered mine inside, and it got awfully spindly and
yellowish, but that is to be expected. I cut back and it sprouted
nicely, but it has gone even yellower. Any ideas why?

I have tried Epsom salts and feeding, and no joy. While it is is
well-drained compost, my only thought is that it might dislike all
the rain (and cold weather) we have been having. Does this sound
plausible?

My newly germinated ones came up yellowish, I to have tried magnesium,
starting to wonder if they should be in ericaceous compost? having said that
they are looking greener now than two weeks ago so it may just be cold. Not
exactly a wealth of info on them is there!
