Fertilizing once every three to four weeks should be adequate to bring your plants around, Chicago Botanic Garden's Tim Johnson writes.
The annuals in my containers seem to be struggling, some with the foliage of the plants taking on an off-green color and even looking a bit yellow. The containers are in full sun, with sun-loving annuals on my back patio. What can I do to help my plants and get my color display back for the rest of the summer?I will assume that you used a high-quality growing medium for your containers and did not use garden soil.
It is likely that your containers just need to be fertilized. The more frequent watering of containers with established annuals during the hot summer days will leach nutrients out of the medium resulting in “hungry” plants that will have reduced growth and off-color and yellowing foliage like you are describing. Use a liquid fertilizer to give your containers a boost. Fertilizing once every three to four weeks should be adequate to bring your plants around.
