Pittosporum (entrance pots) — Greening: N + Mg + Fe + Mn (vegetative)

Zone: Entrance pair — likely Pittosporum tobira (Japanese mock orange) in shallow concrete urns · Stage: vegetative

Restore deep green leaf color by addressing combined N + Mg + Fe + Mn hunger typical of container-aged shallow-pot ornamentals. Chelated Fe + HESI's N + Mg drive rapid greening; biostimulants + Bacto-Line support uptake and root microbiome.

#ProductmL/LRole
1Base-Line2.0fulvic gel — chelator + mild acidifier
2Topraq-Mg3.0Mg — chlorophyll core; primary green-up driver
3Topraq-Fe1.5Fe — chelated, works in alkaline container soil
4Topraq-Mn1.0Mn — chlorophyll co-factor
5HESI TNT Complex (vegetative complete food)5.0NPK 3-2-3 + vitamins + amino — N for new growth + balanced support
6Fast-Line1.5Carboxylic acid — uptake + drops tank pH (essential)
7Alga-Line2.0Chlorella biostimulant
8Bacto-Line1.5Bacillus shield — LAST in tank

Intentionally excluded

plagron-bat-guano — Solid P-rich amendment — not for foliar; container P likely adequate; could worsen Fe lockout.
quadro-k-DRT — K not the issue here (greening = N+Mg+Fe target). Save for K-deficient zones.
topraq-b — Not greening-relevant; conserve.
topraq-ca — Sulfates in tank. Also concrete urn already leaching Ca.
topraq-cu — Kills Bacto-Line; not indicated for greening.
topraq-zn — Topraq-Micro could substitute; deferred to single-element-focus.
uan-32-igsas — Too concentrated for foliar; HESI TNT provides balanced N more safely.

Total ~17.5 mL/L (~1.75% v/v). 1 L tank covers 2 entrance pots generously. Apply morning or evening, underside of leaves priority. Expected visible greening over 7-14 days. Pair with soil refresh within 2 weeks.
