Yellow Leaves

[Gardner]

I bought a Paucidentatus seedling growing a new leaf. When the leaf had put on a couple of inches it started yellowing and remained this colour.  I have fed the plant at the start of our growing season and it is starting to put on a new leaf but this again appears to be yellow. Any suggestions what this could be? Nutrient deficiency, I've heard this can happen with lack of iron uptake, maybe chelated Iron? Any observations / advice would be appreciated.

Looks like a juvenile leaf to me, it should green up with a bit of age. Perhaps it’s getting over the shock of being acclimated and repotted, fear not in a few years time it should look like a healthy plant.

Thanks, not time to panic yet then.

Not sure about the salt content of your water but it’s something to look into. It looks to be an iron deficiency which accumulated salts in the soil can do

I only use collected rainwater if I have to water them. Don't need to do too much extra watering with the Auckland weather lately. Thanks for the suggestion though, something to bare in mind.
