Hi folks,
I've got a small olive tree with a few yellow leaves.
The olive tree lives indoors at my office; it spends its entire life under one T5 fluorescent bulb. It's potted in 75 lava rock/25 pine bark. I soak it three times weekly. I've fertilized it once, about a month ago (I bought and repotted it in December).
Generally it seems very happy; it put out a bunch of new leaves and is continuing to put out more. However, the last couple of weeks, I've pulled about five yellowing leaves off of it. Four of them were leaves that arrived with the tree; one was one of its newer ones.
I DID have a few scale insects I dealt with a few weeks back; after picking them off and rubbing the trunk down with alcohol, they haven't returned.
(The white streaky nonsense on the old leaves is presumably fert from the grower I bought it from.)
Any thoughts?
