Help! Just noticed that my preshus little dwarf orange's
leaves are looking a little chloritic (lack of iron, if I have the
word right).

I quickly fed the soil some organic food, which conditions the
soil rather than going straight into the plant.

Should I also give the orange tree some chelated iron,
or wait to see if the organic food did the trick? Just want to head
off problems, if any.

Note that sweet little tree does have blooms and baby fruit.
(It had huge oranges when I bought it; they ripened and I ate them
with a near-religious awe.)

Hello? Anybody out there?

Would sure appreciate advice on chelated iron vs. waiting for organic
food results.
