What is the reason for the jasmine seedlings to become stiff (how to deal with the jasmine seedlings that become stiff after repotting)

What to do if the jasmine seedlings are dead

The so-called dead jasmine seedlings are actually the same as the dead seedlings of other plants, that is, the roots, stems and leaves have stopped growing, but the plants have not withered and died. Generally, this situation only occurs in small seedlings.

Below I will find out the reasons for jasmine seedling stunting and the corresponding solutions, I hope it can help my friends.

Too much light

Although jasmine is a flower plant that cannot be killed by the sun, young seedlings should avoid being exposed to strong light for a long time. Because the functions of young seedlings are not perfect, strong light exposure can easily damage the tissues, resulting in neither death nor growth.

For the problem of stunted seedlings caused by too strong light, I suggest you move it to a location with soft or diffuse light, so that it can gradually resume growth. When the plant grows into a large seedling, you can move it to a location with sufficient and strong sunlight for maintenance.

Too much watering

Jasmine likes a humid growing environment, which refers to the plant growth stage.

For example, growth and flowering in summer and autumn require more water. Long-term dry soil will easily cause the leaves to turn yellow. Therefore, when you see that the soil is dry, you must promptly water it thoroughly for maintenance.

If the seedlings are watered and cared for in the same way as the large seedlings, water will accumulate in the soil over time, which will hinder the normal breathing of the roots and rot the root tissue.

Regarding the problem of stunted seedlings caused by too much watering, I suggest that you stop watering immediately and do not place the plants under strong light. This way the growth of the plants can gradually recover.

If you feel the roots shaking when you push them with your fingers, you need to repot and prune the roots to restore the plant to normal growth.

Too much fertilizer

Jasmine likes a fertile growing environment, and scientific and reasonable fertilization and maintenance are required during the growth and flowering periods, but this is only for adult plants.

If it is done too frequently during the seedling period, or if too concentrated fertilizer is used for maintenance and management, the roots of the plants will be burned over time, resulting in neither growth nor death.

For the problem of stunted seedlings caused by too much fertilizer, I suggest that you immediately irrigate and clean the fertilizer to avoid burning the roots of the plants. If the problem of yellow leaves has already appeared, you need to change the pot and prune the roots immediately to provide a good growth environment again.

Soil is too alkaline

Jasmine likes slightly acidic soil and dislikes hardened alkaline soil and alkaline water. If alkaline soil is used for planting, the leaves of the plants will turn yellow and the plants will become stiff in the long run, and the plants will wither in the long run.

Regarding this problem, I suggest that you remove the plant from the pot immediately and change the soil, and at the same time prune the roots that are growing poorly, so as to promote the plant's growth again.

For example, using a mixture of leaf mold and coarse sand can not only meet the plant's needs for acidity, but also promote water discharge.
