Between my front porch & sidewalk, I have a small garden with lantana, allamanda and hibiscus. The plants do not do well, one of the lantana's leaves look knubby and produce no flowers, the hibiscus constantly loses its leaves (yellows and falls off) and the allamada will get black leaves and eventually all the leaves die. I have replaced these flowers once already. I tested my soil with Ferry-Morse Soil Test Kit that indicated 6.0 acid, verly low on nitrogen, low on phosphorous, and very low in potash. I do fertilize using both Miracle Grow Water Soluable Plant food with the hose attachment every few weeks and use a Color Burst fertilizer (slow release) every few months. What type of treatment can I use to improve growth, blooms, and soil condition? |
