I have several Camellia sinensis plants in pots, and most of them have bright green new leaves coming out. However, one has pale yellow new leaves. I have been using a fertilizer for acid loving plants and fertilizing them all about the same amount. I fertilized again today to see if that helps. Any ideas?

I am posting some pictures of the pale yellowed leaves and also a healthy one for comparison. They were grown from seed. Could it just be bad genetics, or possibly a disease that might infect the other plants?
