Yellowing leaves on a Skimmia

I have also got a skimmia with yellowing lower leaves, I moved it to a larger pot for display in my front garden, I planted it in ericaceous compost but the leaves have gone very yellow like yours without any spotting, I am interested to find out what the cause is if anyone knows. Janet

Do you know what your soil is like - is it on the acid side which Skimmias prefer? It sounds as if the soil is to blame to me - try watering it with Sequestrene and I hope that it recovers.

Thanks Spritzhenry, I will try that. Janet, didn't mean to steal your question RosieK!!!

Yellowing leaves on Skimmia is normally caused by exposure to full sun. They do like a nice bit a shade. Try miving into a semi-shady spot and feed with sequestrian.

Thanks Spritzhenry & Plantgeek.
I did plant it with ericaceous soil mixed in but maybe not enough I will try your suggestion of the Sequestrene and as it only get the sun early in the morning I don't think too much sun light is the problem. Janet your more than welcome to jump in I hope your's gets better soon.

Once they've turned yellow it takes quite a long time for them to recover after watering with sequestrene but they do eventually. I've had two that have done this.
