One popular problem with planters is the roots get root bound. Your plant actually out grows the size of your planter. It then gets hard for the plants to absorb nutrients and water. To solve this problem you have to transplant your plants into bigger planters. If you do that you have to free up the roots as they start to grow in a circle inside your planter. Another option is to take one or two of your leaves into your local nursery and ask them. I hope this helps. Hi Maureen, It is hard to say what the problem is not seeing your planters.

I have watered daily during the warm weather but somehow both have brown crusty leaves. They are in a sheltered sunny spot. What do you think could be the cause. Also, do I need to water a little during Autumn. No problem with other potted plants and a very established garden.
