Gardenia Jasminoides

This is the whole bush

When did you last feed it? I can see flower buds? #gardenia-advice @deekay @lovestogarden

Haha @brightcolours Sussanah and I were just discussing the trying time we have had with Gardenias 😂😂 I have no practical experience, I have read that Epsom salts are good for yellowing leaves though.

My Gardenias didnt fair too well at all 😢 @brightcolours

Yes, I’d heard about the #epsomsalttip but you only use it depending on why the leaves are yellowing... www.flowerpower.com.au/gardening/gardenia-care-in-spring/ @deekay

Actually those leaves may be just normal old leaf fall @brightcolours If they are plucked off that might be the end of it

I feed it a general fertiliser about 3 weeks ago. We have had a lot of rain lately. It is yet to flower this year and yes buds are there.

Can i take it somewhere or is there a way to test the soil? It is two years old

Did you read the article I posted above? Has it been a cold, dry winter where you are? Have you been watering regularly? Have you stuck your finger in the soil to see if it’s wet, dry or just right?

It us the start of summer here

I put my fingers in the soil and it was a little dry not much. I have watered it now and will fertilise tomorrow morning

To make sure you get someone's attention eg to reply or ask a Q or say thanks, you need to put an @ in front of their name so they get a notification eg @BrightColours 😊

Why are my leaves turning this colour. What should I be doing? We live across from the beac. The plant is 3 years old and behind a brick wall.

Please post a photo of the whole bush.
