What to Do When Jasmine Leaves Curl? Causes and Solutions

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
When jasmine leaves curl, we need to find the cause in order to fix it promptly. If it is caused by too much watering and water pooling in the pot, reduce the amount of watering and keep the plant in a well-ventilated spot; if it is caused by too much fertilizer, flush with clean water or replace the soil; if it is caused by overly strong light, mist the leaves and reduce the light.

1. Reduce watering

1. Cause

When its leaves curl downward and look very dull, there is a good chance it is due to too much watering or water pooling in the pot. Anyone who has grown flowers knows that too much water first damages the roots, and jasmine is no exception - too much watering will make the leaves curl.

2. Solution

At this point you must stop watering further, then move it to a well-ventilated place to grow, so the moisture evaporates faster.

2. Reduce fertilizing

1. Cause

Many people keep fertilizing it in hopes of making it bloom sooner, which ultimately causes fertilizer burn, and this easily damages its roots. Or fertilizer may accidentally get sprinkled on the leaves while feeding; either can make the leaves curl, and in severe cases turn them yellow.

2. Solution

When fertilizer burn occurs, flush with plenty of water to dilute the fertilizer concentration, then place it in a shaded spot for a few days and let it slowly recover. If there is really too much fertilizer, you need to repot it with fresh soil: first take it out of the original soil, wash the roots, and cut off any rotten and dead roots, then get some carbendazim and soak its roots in it, next take it out and let it dry in a shaded place, and finally prepare some slightly moist soil with low fertility and plant it in.

3. Reduce light

1. Cause

When summer light is strong and moisture is lacking, its leaves will become curled.

2. Solution

We need to give it appropriate shade and spray some water on the leaves, so the leaves can become glossy again.
