    Hi Crazy Colin,

    Yellowing of the leaves is usually a sign of potassium deficiency called chlorosis. Chlorosis, the yellowing and shrinking of leaves, will turn into necrosis (dead leaves) if it remains unchecked.

    Applying some all purpose general plant fertiliser with a balanced N-P-K mix should fix the problem, or you can track down dedicated potassium feed.
