monkey puzzles going yellow
Im attempting to grow monkey puzzle (aurucaria) from seeds. Ive got about 80% hit rate from seeds, which germinated last february and now I have a few small tree plants, about 6-10" tall.
On a lot (but not all) the highest tips of the plant are going a much lighter green to yellow, which doesnt look great.
I planted a few out in a sheltered bit of garden, and their tips have gone dark yellow. But, they seem to have stoutened up in the weather too.
whats with this colour fade? is it a lack of something?

You could also try beefing up the soil with a good mulch of well-rotted garden compost if you have some and/or some well-rotted manure which will add nutrients as well as improving soil texture. Make sure the plants have been watered well before mulching.
