Dwarf Brazilian leaf problem-calcium deficiency or over watering?

18 years ago

I finally moved into my place and put my Dwarf Brazilian in the ground a couple of weeks ago. Now the last leaf on the mother and the last two on the bigger pup have a single puckered mark on about the same spot on all of the leaves. And the leaves seem to be coming out progressively lighter and lighter.

Could this be a calcium deficiency? Thinking about it, I may be over watering it a bit as I learn how to water in the heavier-than-loam soil (rather than well-draining pot). Would this happen just with over-watering? This last week I have been worried about it drying out in the high 80s to 100s, and looking back probably over watered. Should I apply fertilizers or just cut back on watering for a while and see if the problem corrects itself?

Thanks for any advice.
