Why yellow flowers bloom well, but turn white in the garden

Comments (13)Hi again - Thanks for your replies. Here's another picture. Hopefully this one will be a little better for you, Ken. Just let me know if you would like more pics. I took several shots of it. I live in Joplin, MO (the place the EF5 tornado hit a couple years ago, though it missed us by 3/4 mile). The tree was grown in Oregon and I bought it from the Home Depot here (the one that was on the national news and destroyed by the tornado - not that anyone member that or that it even matters as far as this tree is concerned). Anyway, the tree is in very rocky and well-drained soil. I hate to admit it, but I don't know what type of oil I have here (that's because I'm just a beginner and didn't even have any interest in trees or doing yard work of any sort until this summer and I haven't had a chance to get to that yet). We have a lot of native oak trees around if that tells anyone anything. Anyway, my Limber Pine seems to be getting worse by the day. I had given it a good soaking since I hadn't watered it in a week or two, and then we happened to get a lot of rain over several days, so maybe it just got too much water(?). As far as transplant shock, it had looked beautiful and very happy for about 3 months, then all of a sudden it's turning yellow. This seemed to begin after I'd watered it, however it's possible it could have started before that and I just didn't notice it, being that it began on the west side of the tree and I don't often look at it from that side....See MoreWhy are my daylily leaves turning yellow?
Comments (5)Yes, it can and a good dose of sunny weather should bring the green back. We went thru a very cloudy May and tons of water a lot of my daylilies yellowed. Half of June was cloudy and drippy as well. In the last couple weeks of hot sunny weather most have their healthy green color back. A few still have yellow foliage but they'll get better. I think it's the sun they miss. Thrips and spider mites can also give your foliage a dirty yellow look....See Morewhy did one of my leaves turn yellow and die on my dumb cane?
Comments (8)New growth isn't a clear indication that the plant is growing. True growth is measured by a plant's increase in dry weight; so, if a plant is shedding a leaf and growing a leaf, it's roughly in a static state, which is not a good place for a plant to be. I'm not necessarily saying the leaf ISN'T being shed as a result of normal senescence, only that new growth might not indicate an o/a increase in mass. There is no better fertilizer program than one you can control to the degree you know exactly what nutrients your plant is getting, how much of each, and when nutrients will be available for uptake. There is an ideal level of nutrients in the soil and an ideal fractional amount of each in comparison to each and all of the others. Most plants use about 10X as much N as P, and about 3/5 as much K as N. The rest of the nutrients also have an ideal level determined by a function of N levels and the overall level of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the soil solution. Adding tonics, miracle concoctions, or supplements targeting an increase in 1 or 2 nutrients w/o good reason or a strong likelihood what you are doing is going to correct a deficiency, is far more likely to result in limitations than benefits.
