Geraldton Wax Flower Plant

12 years ago

Hi all

I was hoping for some advice on my Geraldton Wax Flower.

I transferred it to a sunny position in a planter box approximately one month ago. Being a novice I basically dug a hole, teased the roots and put it in. I've since learned that was not the right way to plant and clearly that showed with leaves turning yellow.

Once I did some research I have tried to make it healthy again. I have fertilised it with native fertiliser. I've given it some deep watering with chelated iron and seasol. It now has some new growth and is looking healthy and green on the tips however the old leaves are still yellowing and dropping.

Is new green growth a good sign? Is it likely the plant is still stressed and the new growth will yellow also? The soil is native soil and the ph level is right - grevilleas and banksias thriving.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thank you
