Mostly teachable to me, but thought I'd share.
This is a cross that is known to like more acidic soil than typical and I didn't take heed.
This is either zinc or iron lockout, due to a slightly higher pH than the fussy little b… er, discriminating young lady prefers. Soil pH is 6.3. You notice it at the top and the symptoms disappear the further toward the bottom of the plant you go.
I hit her with a foliar feed yesterday and watered with somewhat acidified water, but transplanting is the real fix that I'll do later today. The foliar feeding actually makes the top look better than it did yesterday, though you never know — I could be deluding myself.
