Author Garden: Double Impatients and Mandevilla Vlakvark Gardener Member # 2693 posted                       My Double Impatiens leaves are turning yellow - does anybody have any idea why? My Mandevilla's leaves are also turning yellow/brownish and falling off. I would love some help. It is making me crazy trying to figure out what is wrong - and this morning I stumbled upon this website - what a wonderful site.

And yes we have had some rain - a friend suggested that I stop watering them - 3 times a week. I gave all my plants liquid fertilizer this weekend. Do you think I water to much (I am a total ignorant gardener) Plants: 3 | From: Virginia Beach, Virginia | Registered: Jun 2004  |  Seeded: 68.10.180.62 duckie Garden Pro! Member # 2067 posted                       hello and welcome. I have both plants,and I agree with Weezie.Sounds like too much water.You didn't say whether these plants are in pots.That makes a lot of difference. My rule of thumb for plants in pots.If it doesn't rain that day,water them. I never fertilize impations,(sp)sorry.I made that mistake a long time ago.I got lots of lush foliage and very few blooms. Hope that helps,again welcome.

Member # 772 posted                       Vlakvark, I think Phil, one of our Master Gardeners' posted somewhere's here about when it water's so much that the rain just leaches thru and in general terms, just drains away from the plant any usefull nutrients. *like a bully stealing it's food* So, my personal favorite is Shultz Plus.. 10~60~10....gives it a bit of nitrogen, which it needs, but the 60 is for roots and flowering and fruits... and it'll get those roots going and feeding it'self! Hope this info helps.. Weezie * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.
