Q. My crape myrtles are not blooming. What might be the reason?
A. If the plants are in shade, were given too much fertilizer or were excessively pruned in winter flowering may be delayed.
Q. The leaves on my gardenia are yellowing. The plant bloomed beautifully several weeks ago. What does it need?
A. It could be an iron or magnesium deficiency. I would give it a fertilizer supplement to see if that will green it back up.
