I won a Wrightia religiosa at a club raffle last summer. Now it's in my
greenhouse.
It is growing well except ...
when I acquired it, it was suffering from chlorosis, and despite treatments
of Ironite, still suffers. Nevertheless, the new growth is abundant and
green.
Anyone know how to handle this plant?


I have one from Jim Smith. I trim a lot and fertilize with Osmocote
monthly. (I use an Osmocote formula that is listed at 14-14-14 and good for 90 days.
But the 90 days is at F 70 so most of our year that is 30 days at 80 to F. 95
It grows fast and I prune a lot.
Ironite is very low is N-P-K, like 1-1-1. It really only releases and makes
available nutrients already in the soil.
