Azalea or hydrangea leaves 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 turning yellow immediately...
Fortunately, my gardener revealed to me an effective trick to stop yellowing leaves in their tracks.
The trick to getting the leaves back to green is to spray them with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water . Watch:
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 liter of water
1. Mix apple cider vinegar and water in a bottle.
2. Water the soil surrounding the plant with this mixture.
3. Repeat this watering once a week for 3 weeks.
4. At each watering, put the equivalent of a glass of mixture.
And There you go ! Your plants have regained their beautiful green color quickly :-)
Easy, natural and effective, right?
Water the whole of the soil around the plant well so that all its roots take up this remedy well.
This stuff works for azaleas, hydrangeas, gardenias, camellias, rhododendrons, lupins, primroses and all so-called "heather" plants.
An acid mulch of pine bark can also help restore and maintain the correct pH for heather plants.
By the way, did you know that soil acidity can also change the color of hydrangea flowers? Check out the trick here.
Apple cider vinegar naturally rebalances the pH of the soil so that it goes back below 5.
It perfectly acidifies it, which allows the plants to regain their beautiful green color quickly.
Either way, be patient! If your flowers have yellowed well, they will need a month or two to regain their vigor.
