Why the Yellow?

Recommended Posts

What is the likely cause of this yellowing along the line of the Areole in this San Pedro - is it variegation or lack of nitrogen or other?

Could be that it's getting strong light somewhere it's not used to, and/or needs nitrogen.

Give it a feed of some of your urine every day for a week, and make sure to give plenty of water also, cos salt buildup

It is basically winter now and it is a fresh cutting been given to me by a friend and has no roots.

 

Will feeding it nitrogen now really help or will it just remain yellow until it gets some roots of its own.

Lol - no roots.  Useful info to know. 

 

That's likely your problem right there.  If it was me i'd probably cut the tip a bit higher up, let that callous over winter and replant in fairly inert soil closer to Spring.
