Jasmine leaves dry and scorched: causes and solutions

1. Water moderately

Cause: Jasmine is not drought-tolerant, but it cannot tolerate waterlogged pots either. If watered too much, the soil becomes heavy and sticky, the roots cannot breathe properly, and root rot occurs. Watering too little may also cause the plant to dry up and die.

Solution: Observe your own plant's condition and adjust the amount of watering. If the soil feels too wet when you check it by hand, or if there is waterlogging, promptly move the potted plant to a ventilated spot, or prop up the flowerpot to drain off the excess water.

2. Fertilize appropriately

Cause: Using too much fertilizer burns the roots, causing symptoms such as dry, withered leaves and yellowing.

Solution: At this point, stop fertilizing promptly, reduce the fertilizer concentration, and apply light fertilizer frequently.

3. Prevent frost damage

Cause: Jasmine is not cold-tolerant. Do not place it on windowsills, balconies, or other spots with lower temperatures. Once frost damage occurs, it may cause the leaves to turn yellow, wither, and become scorched.

Solution: When winter temperatures are low, cover the plant with plastic film or a snakeskin bag and move it indoors to a warm, humid spot for care.
