Thanks for the information.

I have flushed with water, and keep doing so everyday, but I fear it may be
too late.

I am actually in Sydney, Australia so it is mid spring here.

Thanks, I'll let you know how it turns out.

Hi,

is there a way to help a plant with fertilizer burn to recover?

The plants in question are agapanthus, and I know I over fertilized. The
leaves turned yellow and it;s not looking very happy at the moment.
Is fungus something I need to worry about? Should I continue watering? I
have cut the yellow parts of the leaves already.

Please tell me how else I can save them there is a whole row at the front
of my house, and I like them there.

Thanks in advance,


If the soil is well drained, so that water will flow through it _quickly_,
flush with water. You could also try potting the plants, and flushing the
pots, mostly to get any fertiliser off the roots. But I'm afraid if the
li'l gluttons have taken too much nitrogen on board there's nothing you
can do. Wait another couple weeka or so, and if they don't recover, remove
them. You should wait several weeks (or even over winter) before planting
anything to replace them as the soil will likely still be over fertilised.

HTH and good luck.
