Q.Accidental Feeding

Zone 9B | kmwilsongarden added on May 30, 2020 | Answered

Hello! I have an Acanthus Mollis Oakleaf that I accidentally (stupidly) fed with rose food. The leaves have yellowed which at first I thought was overwatering. Plant has been in same location, same watering schedule for 6 years and has always thrived. Finally hit me as to what I did. Any tips on how to revive it? Wondering if I should cut it back and let it recover? Thanks in advance for any advice. Kathy

It will recover on its own, likely. Chelating the soil would cause more damage to the plant than it would fix at this point, and is best done while nothing is planted in the soil.
