Hello Everyone!!

I hope you are safe and doing well.
Today I wanted to share my journey through treating chlorosis in my dearest Gardenia.
Chlorosis happen due to the lack of Iron and there  two main reasons behind that.
1. The soil is too alkaline and hence the roots cannot absorb the iron
2. There is no iron in the soil.

To check the soul's PH, I took my PH meter n measured the PH and it was between 7-8.
So to make it more acidic, I took a teaspoon of white vinegar, dissolved it in 1 litre of water and gave it to the plant.
There after I measured the ph again and it was between 6-7 which is optimal for Gardenias.

Then using  chelated Iron and water (1 teaspoon chelated iron and 750 ml water) i made a simple solution and fed it to the plant and sprayed some on the leaves for quick absorption.

I could see the difference within a week and after 2 weeks the chlorosis was no where to be seen and the plant turned lush green.

Chlorosis can really impact plant health so please invest in a ph meter so that the soil can be checked regularly.
You can use the soil ph meter for checking the moisture content in the soil so it's a cheap and pretty handy tool that every gardener should have.

I hope you like the video.
Thank you for watching.
Stay safe

Happy Gardening!
