Major potting soil and fertilizer problems!

[louise]

All of my plants are loosing leaves at an alarming rate,they turn yellow and fall off, starting from the bottom and working their way up.

Classic description of nitrogen deficiency... looking at the plants... if the plants were mine, I'd repot into larger tubs of fresh fertilised potting mix.

 

If the succulents in the first image are anything to go by... you may need to improve your watering technique as well.

I've put it down to either nute lock or nitrogen deficiency,  I'll see if the flush improves things, may look at repotting.

The succulents have just been a little bit neglected.

Okay calcium magnesium deficientcys can come from rain water I had same problem mate 2 things tap water has cal mag in it but u can use a cal mag additive to rain water ! Try using tap water for a while let it sit for a day bubble it through air pump if u have one ph it see it it helps........ I was using rain water seem to be worse then tap water but I'm sure cal mag added to rain water will be alot more better I'd do that

Excellent idea... plenty of space in the ground.
