Why are the leaves of my Oleander bushes turning yellow?

Our Advice:

These plants prefer hot, dry conditions and the leaves turn yellow when they are over-watered or under-fed. When grown in containers they need plenty of water but if you live in a hard water area, add a small amount of vinegar to the water to avoid excess lime.
