Yellow Leaves: My Gardener's Trick To Stop Them Net!
Are the leaves of your azalea or hydrangea turning yellow?
This is surely a sign of iron deficiency or too high soil acidity.
These flowers are very sensitive to changes and manifest themselves by immediately turning yellow ...
Fortunately, my gardener revealed to me an effective trick to stop yellowing leaves in their tracks.
The trick to getting the leaves green again is sprinkle them with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water. Look :
What you need
- 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
- 1 liter of water
How to do
1. Combine apple cider vinegar and water in a bottle.
2. Water the soil around the plant with this mixture.
3. Repeat this watering once a week for 3 weeks.
4. At each watering, add the equivalent of a glass of mixture.
Results
And There you go ! Your plants quickly regained their beautiful green color :-)
Easy, natural and efficient, isn't it?
Water all the soil around the plant well so that all of its roots pick up this remedy.
This stuff works for azaleas, hydrangeas, gardenias, camellias, rhododendrons, lupines, primroses and all so-called "heather" plants.
An acidic pine bark mulch can also help restore and maintain the correct pH for heather plants.
By the way, did you know that the acidity of the soil can also change the color of hydrangea flowers? Check out the trick here.
Why does it work?
Apple cider vinegar naturally rebalances the soil's pH to drop below 5.
It acidifies it perfectly, which allows plants to quickly regain their beautiful green color.
Either way, be patient! If your flowers have yellowed well, they will need a month or two to regain their vigor.
