Chlorosis Problem? #776100

Asked October 21, 2021, 10:03 PM EDT

This plant of Millettia reticulata (Evergreen Wisteria) appears to have chlorosis in the mature leaves. If that is correct, how do I fix it, and will the plant survive. It is currently potted in pretty good soil. Your suggestions are much appreciated.

Expert Response

We think this looks like a nutritional issue and suggest that you fertilize it. It should green up. Tip it out of it's pot and check if it may be rootbound. If it is, repot in the spring with new soil mix.

This plant is not really winter hardy here (zone 8A) as you likely know, so give it protection.
