I have a three year old Red Caapi plant in my apartment. She has grown very healthy the last few years, always growing new leaves and keeping a healthy green color. This spring/summer however, her leaves started yellowing one at a time. At, first I thought it was no big deal, but the problem is progressing and I am afraid that if it doesn't changed soon, that she will lose all of her beautiful foliage! I moved her into a shadier window that recieves very little direct sunlight, and I added some Bone/Blood meal to her soil. Right now she has about 25 healthy leaves, but she has lost 8-10 already this spring, and I can see more turning yellow as we speak. There doesn't seem to be a consistant pattern to the yellowing, but I do find that if one branch has a affected leaf, the rest of the leaves on that branch are usually the next to turn.

PLEASE HELP! Thanks,
Once

Sounds like a nitrogen deficiency. You can get some nitrogen rich bat guano or some earthworm castings and that should help.

Convert a melodic element into a rhythmic element...

Thanks Melodic,

That was my thought when adding the Bone/Blood meal fert the other day. Hopefully this helps, I guess I need to give it some time and keep my fingers crossed.
