Jasmine leaves turning yellow: here are the latest solutions

Jasmine is also known as jasmine, Xianghun, Molihua, Meili, etc. It is an erect or climbing shrub of the genus Jasminum in the family Oleaceae. Its flowers are a famous raw material for scented tea and an important raw material for essence, and its flowers and leaves are used medicinally to treat red, swollen, painful eyes and have the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm, but in actual cultivation the leaves often turn yellow. Now let us take a look together at what to do when jasmine leaves turn yellow!

Alkaline potting soil

[Cause] When jasmine is watered with relatively alkaline water for a long time, the increased alkalinity causes iron deficiency, resulting in poor plant growth and yellow, withered branches and leaves.

[Solution] You can apply ferrous sulfate solution or alum fertilizer water to increase the soluble iron element in the soil, and the problem can be solved.

Malnutrition

[Cause] When jasmine is grown in a pot, if the soil is not changed and fertilizer is not applied for a long time, the soil nutrients become insufficient and the leaves turn yellow.

[Solution] The soil should be changed in time and water and fertilizer management should be strengthened, or fertilizer and water application can be strengthened directly.

Improper fertilization

[Cause] When jasmine is fertilized too heavily or with undecomposed organic fertilizer, it causes “root burn” and the branches and leaves become withered and yellow.

[Solution] Part of the potting soil should be removed and replaced with new potting soil. In ordinary management, it is better to apply light fertilizer frequently, and do not try to feed it all at once.
