April 17, 2020Q.Why are the tips of agapanthus going yellow but the plant is otherwise healthy? It’s in a conservatory
The plant is on the conservatory windowsill, regularly watered & temperature of between 10-15 degrees. A clivia is suffering the same fate but not as greatly. Does the agapanthus need miracle grow?

Certified ExpertA.The tips of this agapanthus turn yellow and then brown due to high temperatures.
Move to a cooler location and add some shade cloth to help prevent this issue.
Make sure you have air flow in your conservatory.Was this answer useful?00

Certified ExpertA.It is common to, mistakenly, overwater plants as they are adjusting to their new home. This is likely the case, here.
It will be necessary to allow the soil to dry out down to about 2 inches between watering.
From here, I would recommend treating with a fungicide. Here is an article that will help:

Certified ExpertA.Since you are in zone 8b and experience below freezing weather, you can cut back the foliage, let the tubers dry for a few days, then store them in newspaper in a cool, dark place till spring.
Alternately, you can plant them in pots and keep them in the garage over winter. Just keep them in a frost free area that is light and dry and water about once a month.

Certified ExpertA.I don't think you need to get rid of them. Try spraying them with Neem oil. Here is more about their care and diseases.

Certified ExpertA.Typically, this will indicate that there is too much nitrogen in the soil, lacking phosphorus and potassium in the soil, or the pH could be out of range. Here are some articles that will help:
