Gardenia Plant!?

some leaves on my gardenia are becoming yellow, and the leaves are becoming pale (not all the leaves).

I water it everyday, and used some coffee beans to keep the ph a bit high.

what can I do to keep my plant healthy and green, without using chemicals, I mean the organic way.
Gardenia Plant!?
Gardenias need iron in the soil. Sink some nails around the plant or buy ferrous sulphate.
Reply:Gardenias like acid soil. Go to Nursery and have them tell u what to use. Seeing as you don't eat anything from a Gardenia is it really important that u have to treat it "the organic way"?
Reply:to make ph high? doesn't it like low ph? well, anyway, if leaves of any plants turn yellow and become pale it means it doesn't have enough sun. and u re watering it too much. i never heard that u should water ANY plant every day.
Reply:Hello you can use cottonseed meal organic and all natural

you can even use a cheleated iron water soluble fertilizer.You can even buy an acid mulch and just top off on the base of the plant and water in all the nutrience needed for the plant should leech down into the pland making it redily available for the plant to drink up. You need to be consistant . Is it in the ground or in a pot? Usally the dirt in the ground is very clayish. So amend keep an eye on your watering and keep feeding it .Lots of luck...
