I’ve used foil at spray to correct my Valencia Orange with great success. I also use it on my Pindo palms (in addition to granulars and spikes).  This palm is super common in my area. Mine has a fat trunk about 8-9 feet tall with fronds that weep all the way to the ground.

I have seen almost no other pindo in my county with fronds below the 3&9 position that aren’t wilted. If you spray at high noon, will probably have less of an affect than at dusk. It also currently has a ton of fruit with about 200 more on the ground rotting away. Probably the most healthy Pindo I have ever seen in person.

i would say it’s a great “add-on” or “extra” but not an “only use” option.

Chleated Iron is also great - do not mix on pavers, concrete, Etc.

So dumb question. Now that I bought this stuff(chelated iron), even if I just add it to waterings vs spraying, is it still going to stain everything when it runs out the bottom of my pots or will the soil absorb it?

Should I try Ironite? Also read good things about FEature 6-0-0. They're technically for lawns but I realize I'm kind of in a pigeonholed demographic. There really isn't a huge market for "dork growing 40 potted palm trees in an apartment in hot a** Texas"

Ironite is no good you need chelated iron

But it's gonna stain. If I add diluted amounts to my watering and throw some cheap disposable saucers under my potted palms will we be cool? Most of these palms are in bottom watering pots but when I flood them they hit the downstairs neighbors patio. 

Be fine if the saucer’s catch all the water

Guess I'm going to Home Depot and buying a bunch of $5 saucers that cost 49 cents last year 

Hurry bye the time you get there they maybe $10

 by my count I'll need 20 10" and 20 14" so hopefully i get the stoner cashier and not the old lady.

@Silas_Sancona @Tracy do aloes like chelated iron too? Asking for Office Squad.

Nope...  Succulents and Cacti need no fertilizer ..other than maybe a pinch of slow release, organically sourced K or Calcium ( for Cacti ) in the summer.
