Hellebores

I recently bought a couple more Hellebores plants which at the moment are in pots.

One of them has it's leaves starting to fade to a  very light green verging on becoming yellow, I guess it is lacking something but can anyone tell me what it would be. 

I have a few planted in the garden but this is the first one than I have going like this.

    If it's old leaves they die off and grow new ones, usually you would cut them off but I don't get around to mine.It could be that their in pots have you been watering them?

    Thanks for the reply.

    Not old leaves and they have been watered. It has been outside in the rain.

    They haven't been in pots log enough  to be pot bound and only 1 in the pot so not congested.

    I think that they need some feed but I don't know which. I have planted it in the garden now have sprinkled some Epson salt around in case it's lacking in  magnesium  and sulphur

    It could have had too much rain I guess.

     

     magnesium and sulfur,

    Hellebores do tend to have leaf problems, yellow, black etc. If I see any leaves that are going funny I just cut them off.

     I have planted them in the garden. I will wait and see now if there is any improvement. 

    Thanks for all the replies

    LOL.

    All of mine apart from 1 have flowered and even the poorly 1 is in flower, so I must be doing something right. They are one of my favourite flowers.

    I will dig in some chicken manure pellets around them as well later.

    Mine are still flowering their socks off as they have been for 6 months some in sun, some in shade. They've gone mad this year.
