Why are my English laurel leaves turning yellow in June?

Bay sucker, constricted or rotting roots, incorrect cultivation, iron deficiency, new growth, over-watering and under-watering are reasons why English laurel leaves turn yellow in June. The bay sucker (Trioza alacris) is an insect pest that preys upon the plant in question's internal, life-sustaining, nutrient-rich xylem and sugar-rich phloem saps. New growth as a natural process lets older leaves change color and drop whereas nutrition-, root-, and water-related problems require examining and righting heat, light, moisture, nutrient and soil pH requirements as well as verifying that obstacles above- and below-ground are not obstructing proper root development and expansion.

Recipes for homemade fertilizer for flowering shrubs?

Bananas are good as they contain high levels of potasium, essential for flowering.

Is neem an herb or a shrub?

Neem is an herb in the sense of its flowers, leaves and seeds being employable as flavoring, food, medicine or perfume even though it is not an herb in the sense of a seed-bearing plant that dies down to the ground after flowering and that lacks a woody stem. Azadirachta indica may not be considered a shrub since the latter must not mature to heights beyond 30 feet (9.14 meters). Neem trees typically mature to respectively minimum and maximum, 49.21- to 131.23-foot (15- to 40-meter-) heights

What is brugmansia?

Brugmansia is a flowering plant that may grow like a bush or small tree. It has a somewhat rough, tan colored bark. It has a series of large yellow, white, red or pink blooms that may flower from late spring through fall and even into early winter. It has branches that respond well to summer cuttings, in terms of propagation. It has a delicate, pleasing lemony fragrance. It has spineless but inedible fruits. It has alternating, toothed leaves. It has spreading roots that prefer moist, fertile drained soils in locations that may range from full sun to part shade.

So it's an attractive plant. But it's finicky about frost free temperature ranges. That's because it's native to the Andean mountain regions of such South American countries as Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador.

In its native range, it plays an important role in the activities of local shamans. It's a bit surprising that it has such a role. The reason lies in the extreme toxicity of all plant parts to animals and humans. Specifically, consumption of any brugmansia plant part well may be fatal.
