A more uniform fade can begin on older fan leaves while the newest growth remains comparatively greener.
Symptoms may appear first
Older growth and lower leaves.
Use this visual as a reference point, then assess the full grow environment before drawing conclusions.
Pattern progression
Watch how the cue develops.
The fade may become more visible across older foliage before newer growth shows a similar pattern.
Check before acting
Look beyond the leaf.
Check pH, EC, watering, root-zone conditions, light or heat stress, and pests before acting. Visible symptom patterns can overlap, so this guide helps you investigate rather than confirm a diagnosis.
