I have a little short of 50 of these growing in pots for the past year, I had a plan for them on my property but things have changed and so this weekend Im gonna put a bunch in the ground out there ( maybe 25 or so ) and not sure what Im gonna do with the rest but anyway last couple of months some of them are yellowing on the leaf, a couple of them Ive ignored hoping the problem would go away but of course it did not.

Ive never fertilized with anything but miracle grow liquid a few times when I re-potted them at the beginning of this summer.

Im sure there is some nutrient deficiency, can someone tell me what I might do to get them healthy again?

I already planted 4 on my property but Id like to add something to them as well so they remain healthy.

One of the pictures shows the worst of them. I dont expect to save it and although I hate to see anything suffer in reality I dont know what Im gonna do with alot of them at this point anyway.

What is your watering schedule?

I found out this weekend that they are getting too much water, the roots are literally rotting. Its been really wet here but I would not have guessed that would have have been the issue. I planted 30 of them today, possibly some of them will not make it, I have a few still to replace them assuming they themselves make it. Thanks

Overwatering can happen to anyone. Years ago I worked at a landscaping place and we watered everyday. After I quit there I was walking around a big box store and saw this matt that was like a big wet sponge on which the plants sat. I have no idea what it is called but it would have saved a lot of time. If you can find or make something like this it could prevent overwatering.
