    i've had two avocados growing for a few months now, one started in water and the other started straight from the pot. the one grown from water had to be brought back to life at one point, but seems to be doing fantastic (with 3 different growths coming from the seed). anyway, my problem is now with the leaves. they were doing great until a few weeks ago when the leaves of one plant started turning a yellowish color and developing holes/missing patches. i repotted both with a general mixture of organic humus, potting soil, and composted manure. i've also scoured the web, but can't find adequate help for home growers. if there is anything you guys can do to help, it would be greatly appreciated. here are some pictures of both plants...

    Possibly a problem with mineral salts or trace elements.
