A Dose Of Salts.

Regent is a variety that is prone to magnesium deficiency. The visible symptoms are yellowing between the veins in the leaves.


Here is one of the Regent vines from two years ago showing classic symptoms of magnesium deficiency.

Last year it was even worse with the vine showing symptoms really early. So it had an application of epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) last august and another before growth started in march this year.

What a difference it has made. These new leaves are a healthy shade of green without any sign of deficiency whatever. You could say it is enjoying a good dose of salts.
