[IBC] iron in wellwater
I don't know about the iron, but usually leaves turning yellow is a sign
of over watering. You say you are fertilizing twice a week, isn't that a little too much??? I would certainly check with some of your Bonsai friends in your area.... as to your fertilizing regimen..

[IBC] iron in wellwater
Maybe I put that wrong. I meant to say that I fertilized every two weeks.
I don't think I'm over watering I may in fact be letting them get too dry between watering. The trees in question are a citrus (only one of two the other is a dark green ) and most of my native pines. It's not that serious (yet?) other than the slight yellowing the trees have been growing nicely. I might just need some trace elements. Thanks for the reply!

No, in fact most of what appears as iron is really a bacteria feeding upon minerals in the water when exposed to air. Billy on the Florida Space Coast |
