What to Do When Jasmine Leaves Are Still Green but Have Dried Out

1. Normal growth

Cause: After the growing season ends, jasmine gradually enters dormancy and normal metabolic activity, and the leaves gradually dry out, turn yellow and become woody.

Solution: Prune the branches. If the cut is black, the branch may have died and cannot grow new shoots, so just cut it off. If the cut is still green, it can be pruned as appropriate, and it will sprout and bloom again the following spring.

2. Overwatering

Cause: Jasmine likes slightly moist soil, but it should not be overwatered. If water accumulates in the pot, the roots cannot breathe properly and rot.

Solution: In hot summer, water once in the morning and once in the evening. If water accumulates in the potting soil, promptly move the plant to a warm, ventilated place, raise the bottom of the pot, and let the excess water drain to prevent too many roots from being affected.

3. Overfertilizing

Cause: Excessively strong fertilizer can burn the plant's roots and instead hinder the plant's absorption of nutrients.

Solution: During the growing season, apply light fertilizer frequently, just 1-2 times a month. If too much fertilizer is applied accidentally, pause fertilizing and water thoroughly when the soil is relatively dry; in severe cases, replace the soil.
