JustLikeAPill is quite right about chlorosis. It being a yellowing of the leaves due to lack of chlorophyll production caused by lack of sufficient light, nutrient deficiency, physical damage, or some other environmental issue(s).[b said:Quote[/b] (Farmer Dave @ Nov. 30 2006,4:20)]I was wondering what chlorosis is, i read the word on Joseph's Ping site, and i was also wondering why some pings like/need calcium, and is it ok for the rest of the pings.
I don't know, as I've never tried anything like that. Give it a go on some expendable plants and let us know. BTW, what would be the reason for doing that?[b said:Quote[/b] (JustLikeAPill @ Nov. 30 2006,7:22)]Think of it as a bleached coral.
Joseph, would a very weak solution of Calcium Chloride and water sprayed on the foliage hurt? By weak, I mean like 15-25 parts per million or so.
Sounds like you are describing senescence. Senescence is the normal process of aging and dying the path leaves take until they are dead. Chlorosis would only be an issue if newer leaves were not becoming green, but were remaining extremely pale yellow, to almost white. Something commonly seen with lawn grass, where something had lain on the lawn blocking the light - visible once the offending object is removed.[b said:Quote[/b] (Farmer Dave @ Dec. 01 2006,6:54)]Would P. 'Sethos' be prone to chlorosis? Because I've noticed a good deal of the lower leaves loosing their color and turning a pale whitish peachy color, and then decentigrating. Is that basically chlorosis? How can i prevent that ?
