What should I do if the jasmine leaves turn yellow, dry and fall off?

Jasmine is loved by many flower lovers for its white flowers and charming fragrance. Many flower lovers will choose to buy a few pots of jasmine at the flower market or online and place them at home. They are both beautiful and fragrant, and their beauty and fragrance can be appreciated all year round, even in the hot summer. However, in the process of caring for jasmine, some friends may encounter the problem of leaves drying up and falling off, especially in the later stages of care. Let’s learn what to do if the jasmine leaves turn yellow, dry and fall off?

1. Watering problem

Jasmine requires ample water during the growing and flowering seasons. Improper watering habits, such as too much or too little, can lead to root problems, which can cause leaves to dry out and fall off. The correct approach is to water the soil thoroughly when the soil surface is dry to avoid soil compaction and water accumulation.

2. Improper fertilization

Jasmine grows quickly and blooms frequently, and requires adequate fertilizer support. However, excessive fertilization or high concentrations can cause root burn, leading to leaf burn and shedding. The principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application" should be followed, and fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium content should be applied at least 2 to 3 times a month to promote healthy growth and flowering.

3. Pests and diseases

If the home is poorly ventilated and the humidity is high, jasmine may be invaded by pests such as red spider mites and whiteflies. These pests suck water and nutrients from the plant, causing the leaves to dry up and fall off. Check your plants regularly and take prompt steps to treat any infestations you find.

4. Environmental adaptation

In the northern winter, low temperatures may cause jasmine leaves to turn yellow, dry up and fall off, which is a natural phenomenon as the plant enters a dormant state. The temperature should be kept above 10 degrees, avoid cold winds, and ensure sufficient light and moderately moist soil to help jasmine survive the winter safely.

In short, although the maintenance of jasmine is simple, you need to pay attention to the above points to avoid the problem of leaves drying up and falling off. By watering properly, fertilizing at the right time, preventing and controlling pests and diseases, and adapting to environmental changes, you can ensure that jasmine flowers grow vigorously throughout the year, bloom continuously, and emit a charming fragrance.
