For what it's worth, my coast live oak (quercus agrifolia) became chlorotic a
few months ago. Three treatments of half-strength Schultz Iron Green (1/2
teaspoon per gallon) spaced at two week intervals cured the problem. It's 15-0-0
liquid fertilizer with 4% sulfur and 6% water soluble iron. That may be a little
too much nitrogen for this late in the year. If you use it on your boug, let me
know how it responds. I have a boug sitting right next to my CLO. It's doing OK
so far, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi all,

A couple of weeks ago I posted some pictures of a bouganvillea wich was
undergoing some chlorosis. Jim suggested to use epsom salts to correct this.
Epsom salts are used only to correct chlorosis or can be used also to
prevent it? Can it be mixed with Miracle-Gro? And if it can be used with
the fertilizer, how often should it be used? Jim suggested to use it just
twice during summer.

Thanks in advance for your help.
