OK First off id like to say this was an accedent that accured But it was a good one .
Macadamian nut Trees are Slow for growing 6 inch in 6 months is pretty norm . But i went out and watered all my plants noticed myOrchids not doing so well so i made a bottle up of There fertilizer.

then watered them and had some left over . got a phone call and talked for an hr with my friend whose getting married went out side picked up the bottle and watered the macadamian nut trees . then when realizing what i had done almost ordered 2 more trees thinking surely they would die.
when i got the trees off ebay they where 4 inches Tall.
Now look

I have now four seedlings. I had read somewhere that they do not need fert for a long time. Therefore, I have been going very light on fert for these trees.

I decided last week that my information was no good. These seedlings are chlorotic and weak looking. Yours look much better. Last week I started hitting them regularly with liquid fert. We'll see. SB

Stressbaby , If I remember Correctly yours started sprouting when i bought mine from hawaii off ebay.

so I cheated .. i redid fertilizer today with orchid stuff but i dont do alot since i mainly use it for my Cymbidian Orchids . and watered it down more the first time ..
maybe 1/2g water to 2 teaspoons of orchid grow .
Like i said i goofed and about died i actually bought the plants for Mark my roomate 1 just for him and 1 just in case that one died LOL. ( am i bad ?)
