Leaf edges showing purple but not undersides
I have an LGS and NBD in a DIY self-watering planter on the deck. Recently the leaves have been showing purple around the leaf edges and tips, but not on the underside. This looks like a mineral deficiency, phosphorous perhaps, but I would have expected the leaf undersides to show color as well. Fertilization is from the "implanted" fertilizer per instructions when the unit was assembled.
What do you think it is? DSC_7723 LGS planter leaf symptom.jpgDSC_7724 LGS planter leaf symptom.jpg
