Why are the leaves on my Pieris gradually turning yellow?

Our Advice:

Usually, the leaves will be yellow if there is lime in the soil or compost. You can use Hydrangea Colourant (Vitax) or Sequestered Iron (Doff) to keep the leaf colour. This treatment will need to be repeated every year. Avoid watering the plant with tap water.
