acidic fertilizer is what should be used with them.I also sprinkle some cow manure around them& if yu have some rusty nails and keep in a pale or something can use the water to water with.
Is it in a pot?or inground?how olds your plant?
Did you know you can water root cuttings?I'm slowly createing my shrubs.i know now that about 1 1/2 yrs it will branch,so most my others should in spring.I have one yellowy cutting growingI'm also thinking the copper gas line left in ground may be some of that.I have a hycanith vine there and leves are yellowish at the same hight.It could take 6-8 weeks to see results,but can water fertilize every 2 weeks.makes a healthier plant for winter anyway.

I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!

Thanks!
I put in the fertilizer and I hope it works. Anyway, my gardenia is in a 12" pot. I got it since this spring, so not too old. I've heard the gardenias are hard to grow, which certainly seems true...at least to me.

Search The Garden Helper:
I have a gardenia plant that is getting yellow leaves. The leaves start yellowing with green veins, and then after a while, they get yellow and fall off. It currently still has some green leaves left, but I'm afraid it's getting worse. I know that it's iron deficiency because the soil is too alkaline.
I've been fertilizing it with regular fertilizer (not a good idea). So today I went out and bought this fertilizer for "Azalea, Camellia, Rhodedendron, and Other Acid Loving Plants"--including gardenias. It has 1% chelated iron and 3% sulfur. I hope by adding this my gardenia would get all right. Would this fertilizer help? Anything else I can do?
Thanks for any help
