When I see a seedling that looks light colored, I mix a spray bottle with 1/4 strength liquid fertilizer, and water it with that exclusively. If it has a chance it will green up to some degree and start to grow. My experience has been mainly with Plumeria seedlings and hibiscus. I tried this after I saw my varigated hibiscus turn green on its new growth after using Miracle Grow on it. After a few weeks the effects slow down and the varigation returns. I have been using this method on my near albino plumeria seedlings for about two years. On some of them the whole leaf turns green, and on others just the leaf margins. |
