How microclimate changes this answer
Cool or saturated roots absorb poorly even when nutrients are present. Strong active growth raises demand, while dormancy lowers it.

Turn the explanation into an action plan
- Monitor
- Judge improvement by the next leaf flush over two to six weeks; old damaged tissue may not become green again.
- Change one thing
- Make the smallest justified correction, record the date, and avoid stacking treatments before you can see which one helped.
- Escalate when needed
- Use a soil, media, water, or tissue test when symptoms persist after roots and moisture are corrected or toxicity is possible.
