Re: gardenias leaves yellow

Good morning @Paul5  this is quite normal and keep up with the chelates. A good trace element that will definitely help is Epsom salts ( Magnesium Sulphate ) this is commonly used for Gardenias. Good luck mate 😀🌿

Re: gardenias leaves yellow

Hi @Paul5,

 

Thank you for your question about your gardenias. 

 

As @mich1972 has already pointed out, an application of magnesium through some Manutec Epsom Salts will go a long way to making your gardenias green, healthy and thriving.

 

Ensure you follow the mixing ratio and application instructions on the packaging for the best results.

 

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

 

Jacob
