Hydrangea not doing well. Chlorosis/trace deficiency?

I have a hydrangea that is not doing well. I grew it from cuttings and transplanted it to its current spot which is a bed where rhodendrons, camellias and zantedeschia thrive. The leaf as you can see has what looks like chlorosis between the veins. Lime-induced chlorosis affects many different plants, but particularly hydrangeas and acid-loving plants in general, but as I say, it is in soil where such plants grow successfully. I fed the plant with Toprose rose and shrub fertilizer in the spring, so I would have thought we can rule out magnesium and manganese deficiency too. I am at a loss as to what the problem is. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.DSCN6556_zpsrktmtn2x.jpg

    Try spraying with some Epson salts you dont need much. 1/2 teaspoon in 1 litre of water sprayed on leaves. I use it often on allotment for some veg/fruit/flowers.
