Yellow leaves on Gardenias
This is probably the third time someone has posted about this problem but
with my Gardenias the leaves are still yellow after a couple of months using Magnesium to overcome it. Could there be anything else causing this, the plants get morning sun only and haven't been over watered. The buds also end up drying out and dropping off, they do not open up. Does anyone have any clues. Thanks Luke |

It could be an iron deficiency rather than Magnesium. Use chelated iron for that. HTH Jane |

Gardenias are one of the most habitual plants known to man, regular watering is the key particularly in the dry weather that we've been having. Is the leaf yellow all over or just in between the veins? |

They will drop. If the leaves are mottled or stripped. This is a nutrient deficiency. dobee |
