Light green with a dark green vein... I thought that was Magnesium deficiency...or nitrogen deficiency...

Doesn't that the iron that has rusted are in the form of ferric ions? Does the iron in this form available to plants?

thank you. it's helpful. I wondered I can use my expired multivitamin which is consist of Zinc for plant...

all my papaya leaf turn yellow. what should i do. help me. thanks.

HELP! my apple tree I planted last fall, was doing well but now the tops and sides show that the leaves are turning yellow. any ideas? thankyou and happy growing

old steel wool i try this thank u

What a great tip, Thank you.😃

But this is not dangerous for plants? Cause this scouring pads always contacted with chemical (Soap and something like that).

Thank you! I am going to do this for my 6 foot cocoa plant, grown from seed, its definitely in need of iron. Will try the kelp too, want to get it to flower and fruit one of these days...

what if i put a nail or any other piece of iron in the plants pot will this work?

Thanks mate, my 5 citrus trees have just flowered and need attention.

ALSO TRY USEING STINGING NETTLE PUT IRON BACK INTO THE SOIL THAT WAS NEVER THERE BEFORE. SOME WOMEN USE IT AS A TEA TO HELP IRON LEVELS AFTER A HEAVY MENSTRUAL CYCLE. GOOD TO PLANT NEAR TOMATOES ALSO KEEPS THE BURGLARS AWAY

I have an old sos pad going rusty but am afraid it may still have some soap in it, what will happen if I use it and there is some soap in it?

can i use dried cows blood or is that just for nitrogen probs? ty.

That was a teaspoon of kelp extract? look like a 1/4 cup.

Or just use some multipurpose fertilizer because you will eventually get other deficiencies too like Magnesium,nitrogen etc.

Also i heard using galvanised nails would work by placing them straight into soil around the plant.. Are u sure it's even iron def.. Looks like mg

that was the best tip i have heard all day, thanks for that one. xoxo

they are pretty much the same thing, iron oxides so it should have the same effect except you probably have less rust per tonne. However dunno if it will work a lot of deficiencies and root problems and over watering seem to have similar symptoms. I see a lot of people recommending solutions but none saying I did this or and it worked!! Nothing much seemed to work for my tobacco plants apart from doing nothiing - lol.

Hi LanaV6, yeah, why not? I think a rusty nail sounds like a good long term solution. Great idea, thanks.
