Tangerine Tree Yellow Falling Leaves
Comments (14)In some Calif. counties, the exotic Asian citrus Psyllid is found to be infecting citrus trees, my area is affected. It's moving into other counties. It's very damaging to citrus, but worse it hosts the terminal greening disease--the leaves and fruit look part green part yellow. I wasn't able to see your pictures. On my navel tree, hundreds of mature dried leaves fall off, they're folded looking and have no signs of disease. It has the psyllid, but I'm trying to save it. I pull off all new tender growth that looks terrible. For yellowing problems, try using greensand for a natural magnesium supplement, it helped the yellow go away on mine completely, after a few months last year. Also I give it triple 15 fertilizer, or if you want organic, blood and bone meal with the greensand. Leaves are falling off dry and folded, but weren't yellow. It seemed to help the tree last year when I wet it down, then threw diatomaceous earth over the leaves and any young fruit, this is supposed to kill insects by a mechanical means, not chemical-the insects can't walk on it. It's due for another diatomaceous earth powdering, but I'll wait until no blossoms, so to not harm bees, and when no chance of rain to wash the earth off. I think the Greensand and the D. Earth both helped the psyllid problem. If greening disease is present, the tree is supposed to be cut down and disposed in doubled vinyl bags (like asbestos ceiling popcorn!) I'll add a link about the Asian Citrus Psyllid damage and greening disease. For yellowing issues use Greensand, natural magnsesium. Still, my oranges aren't ripening right, they stay part green and never get sweet. The leaves used to look like the ones shown in the link, but look better now. My 30 y/o lemon tree was destroyed by the Asian Psyllid, I'm taking that tree down--never seen such bad damage to leaves in my life-unbelievable!! Will try to post a picture. Good luck.

Comments (1)Dahlias need some nitrogen and that should cure the problem. You want to cut the nitrogen out in the fall unless you don't receive any rain then some nitrogen would be appropriate. Growing in pots and watering everyday will deplete the nutrients faster then in the ground so they require more fertilizer....See MoreMango leaves turning light green
Comments (2)Looks very much like an iron deficiency. A chelated iron drench will be helpful, so will a micronutrient foliar spray. Also check your soil PH. High PH reduces the availability of iron....See MoreWhat's causing my petchoa leaves to turn light green?
Comments (10)@rhizo_1 The Miracle Gro bloom booster I am using, has a 15-30-15 N-P-K ratio, so it's not really a hardcore "bloom booster" I think, but just has double the phosphates. I am using LED lights that emit red and blue wavelengths. @ken_adrian The plants are about a foot away from the lights. I didn't think they need to be any closer than that, since these LED lights emit the optimal wavelengths, and being a foot away provides the greatest coverage. Growth has indeed been slow, but still visible, with new growth, buds and flowers, since I got them from the nursery. It's just that the new growth and foliage, are turning light green to yellow. The potting media did not have any ferts, and I was just following the directions on the label, which suggests applications every 7-14 days. But I can cut it down to 50% concentration. And yes, I do saturate the media every time I water, with water running out the bottom....See Morenancyjane_gardener
