Julie says... Bill, this looks more like zinc deficiency to me. Magnesium deficiency usually shows up in oldest leaves, and looks quite different - yours are young leaves. It's possible that iron may be lacking, though doesn't look typical. Veins should be greener, with more contrast. Have you done a pH test? You have only recently repotted it, and the soil may be a bit too alkaline.
