Hi
I know I'm a little late re the discussion on Sparmannia - but does anyone
else have trouble with chlorotic leaves (particularly the older ones) - have
have assumed that it was iron deficiency - but my soil is fairly neutral -
iron chelates doesn't seem to have any effect.
Any ideas? What are its natural conditions?
I can remember reading somewhere that it is often used in pots near cafes
and regularly survives on coffee grounds - which would suggest that it does
like acidic conditions.
Regardless it is still a great plant - and often grown around here on the
coast.
