I've never seen urea pellets. Are they an Aussie thing? Any U.S.A. folks know what they might compare to or be sold as?

I tried a lot of things on these plants, but if any of it made any difference it wasn't apparent to me. Both went through potting mix changes, the little one 3 times. I threw iron (in several forms), nitrogen, epsom salt, different fertilizers and none seem to change anything for either good or bad. So the first couple of years of their life, they were yellow to the point of being really white. I kept expecting them to die. The fact that they didn't is really what made me curious about them. Every year went they woke up out of the winter nap was a surprise to me. In their case, aging seems to be the case for being green. Wish I could be green again nodding .
