How often do you fertilize? You will need to do this at least once per year. I recommend at least twice for container, but it is not completely necessary. This is usually due to a lack of potassium and phosphorus in the soil. It is also best to apply dolomitic lime and iron sulfate to the soil when you fertilize. This will save you much trouble in the long run.
