Chlorosis on Passiflora caerulea?
Over the past few years, my Passiflora caerulea has developed severe chlorosis - it looks just like magnesium or iron deficiency on an cacifuge plant, but P. caerulea is not one such. Has anyone got any ideas? I have given it a foliar feed and watering with a mixture of Epsom salts and Miraclegrow ericaceous, but neither have worked very well before. I also have two out of 3 Cistus cuttings in small pots with the same problem, and have given them the same treatment. There is a new virus called Passiflora chlorosis virus, but why should it have appeared, and is anyone familiar with what it looks like? I can't find a picture. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Thanks. Yes, a reaction to waterlogging was my first idea. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
