I have my flowers growing in a large container and up until two weeks ago they were thriving. They've climbed at least 12 feet and are flowering. However, the lower half of the plant is now very bare of leaves and they are looking yellow. Is the normal progression for this vine? It gets full sunlight and I'm trying hard not to overwater it. I've not yet fertilized it based on some other articles but I'm wondering if I should start? The soils had some long acting fertilizers but that was several months ago now. Looking for some suggestions.
