What to do if you overwater jasmine

Jasmine should be watered appropriately. If you water it too much, the leaves will turn yellow, and the pot in which the jasmine is planted will be too wet, which will cause the soil to become less air permeable and lead to root rot and death. You must control watering reasonably and loosen the soil frequently to make the potting soil well ventilated and encourage the plant to sprout new roots.
