I need some help. Some of my plants are doing good, but there are the select few that are developing this:
(see photos below)
They look like they are rotting in some areas. The soil is 5.5 ph, clay/topsoil mix. I feed them miracle grow once every week. But I am stumped....
2nd
the burn looks to be on the edges of the leaves, suggesting you are maybe overfertilizing them. i would cut back on the miracle grow to just once a month.
Allright, will do. I love my little plants and don't want them to die on me =( I haven't fertilized them in...2 weeks I think? Unless they are in dire need, I won't be doing that again!
yeah i went overboard with the fertilizer on my bouganvillea in the very beginning and some of the leaves looked like that. i have since cut back to once a month and am now trying organic (though it is only a personal preference, not a suggestion) and it seems to be working for me. unfortunately the leaves that are burnt will stay that way until they fall off, but we all learn somehow! :)
