Cautions(7)▼
  • •Young leaves may not show variegation — this is normal
  • •Fully white leaves dry out (normal) — don't treat with fertilizers
  • •Do NOT use KF-MACROBOOST (no phosphorus, will break the balance)
  • •KF-IRON with caution — may leave dark spots on white areas
  • •Support (moss stick) for climbing growth and large fenestrated leaves
  • •If you see general weakness, small leaves, stretching — do NOT lower N further, that's already depletion
  • •Organic biostims (LEON, SERFICO, Bio Gel) may NOT be fully reflected in TDS — also monitor the leaf/substrate
Introduction strategy · Philosophy

Introduce VGI on canister V ONLY after confirmation on canister B. KF-LEON at a reduced dose (1.5 ml/l instead of 2 ml/l). Do NOT use KF-MACROBOOST (it will break the N/K balance). KF-IRON only for confirmed Fe chlorosis on the GREEN areas.

Variegated plants need the OPPOSITE strategy from "steroids". High N → loss of whiteness (the plant makes more green chlorophyll). Yura's 12h+ light is ideal. We keep PPM lower than for regular deliciosa. Stability matters more than aggressive growth.
