Why do jasmine buds fall?

Causes and prevention of jasmine bud drop

1. Improper watering causes bud drop

Jasmine prefers warm and humid conditions. It can grow normally in a well-ventilated or semi-shaded environment. However, improper watering can also cause certain damage.

When watering, don't water too much. You can check whether there is water accumulation at the bottom of the flowerpot. If there is water accumulation, don't water it first. Wait until the water at the bottom dries up before watering. Otherwise, the accumulated water will cause root rot, which will affect growth and cause the flower buds to fall off.

Prevention and treatment methods

When watering, pay attention to the amount of water and the number of watering. Water thoroughly each time. Next time you water, check whether the soil in the pot is dry. If it is dry, water it. If not, don't water it.

2. Insufficient light

Jasmine loves sunlight very much and is not afraid of it, so when caring for it, you must make sure it gets frequent sunlight and get enough light.

Insufficient light will lead to the continuation of photosynthesis, which will prevent the plant from accumulating nutrients. This will cause the branches and leaves to grow too long, but the flower buds will gradually fall off.

Prevention and treatment methods

Place the jasmine in a sunny place in the maintenance room, and ensure that the light exposure time is sufficient, but avoid direct sunlight.

In rainy weather and without sunlight, do not place it next to plants that are larger than it, so as not to affect its absorption of light in the air.

3. Unsuitable soil matrix

Jasmine prefers slightly acidic soil, so if the soil you choose for planting is alkaline, the growth and development of the plant will be affected, resulting in the buds falling off and not blooming.

Prevention and treatment methods

You can pour out the alkaline soil from the pot immediately, but be careful not to damage the plant. Then replace it with new suitable slightly acidic soil, water it, let it grow naturally, and carry out normal maintenance.

4. Too few pruning times

If jasmine is not pruned for a long time, its rapid growth will affect the ventilation and light transmission of the plant, and it will not be able to carry out better photosynthesis, resulting in a lack of nutrients and causing bud drop.

Prevention and treatment methods

Jasmine should be pruned on time and in quantity according to its growth trend. If the branches and buds are too lush, some of them should be cut off appropriately to facilitate ventilation and light transmission.

5. Pest and disease damage

The common disease of jasmine is chlorosis, and common insect pests include red spider mites and scale insect diseases. These diseases and pests will hinder the growth and development of jasmine, causing damage to the leaves or roots of the plant, and causing the flower buds to fall off.

Prevention and treatment methods

You can just spray the medicine and prescribe the right medicine according to the symptoms.
