This is the next years of growth why is the leaf yellow at the bottom also does the cane look healthy thanks

[Yorkie]

Cane looks healthy.

The yellowing is likely to be a nutrient deficiency.  What have you been feeding it with?

[DD.]

The leaf at the bottom is old. The cane looks very healthy.

[mdjlucan]

Sequence and organic chicken pellets

[Yorkie]

Do you mean sequestrene?

Do you have particular reason to want to make the soil more acidic?  How often are you applying it?

[mdjlucan]

Yes

[mdjlucan]

I've used it once about two weeks ago also the soil is a bit alkaline

[Yorkie]

OK, then I'd keep an eye on the plant for now and consider giving it a balanced fertiliser if it continues to spread.  But, as Dave says, it's a leaf at the bottom of the plant and they do die eventually.

[mdjlucan]

What type of fertiliser would that be if I had to use it

[Yorkie]

Growmore, or fish blood and bone.

[mdjlucan]

O k thanks a lot

[mdjlucan]

Any ideas what is causing this

I've merged the latest yellow leaves thread into this one, as I think the previous replies are relevant to answering the question
