Another gardenia problem

17 years ago

Hello all.

I have an indoor August Beauty that is having a dual problem of yellow leaves with grean veins, that evetually yellow completely and drop, and leaves that brown from the tip and brown completely. There are also a few leaves that turn black, wrinkle and die.

I give the gardenia a Miracle Gro 30-10-10 acidic feed on a weekly basis. Found that schedule was preventing the yellowing as I'm guessing that is due to an iron deficiency.

I was putting the plant outside on a daily basis before our temperatures got above 95F, at that point it was indoor only. Indoor or out door the gardenia is getting early morning light only, from around 8am to 11am.

Any suggestions on the causes of the browning/blackening of the leaves and possible solutions?

Thanks in advance.
