Aberdeenshire, Scotland Sco

I broke up and repotted a gardenia a couple of months ago as it seemed a bit bit pot-bound and the some of the leaves were starting to turn a bit yellow. So far it's still living :) but leaves are still yellowing. I only used normal compost and use Miracle gro on it, but I'm wondering if it needs ericaecous feed/compost? Can anyone advise?

Yes - its an acid lover, so ericaceous compost would be good, as would watering with rain water, or cooled, boiled water if your tapwater is hard.

Water in Aberdeenshire is soft Bamboo, though it has rained so much up here that tap water isn't needed!

I hesitated before I added the last bit, MG - I seemed to vaguely recall you've told me before the water's soft up there, but decided to err on the side of caution anyway, lol
