During its continuous growth, the orange jasmine will shed some of its leaves. If its bottom leaves turn yellow all over and fall off, this is normal. If it is not the whole leaf turning yellow before dropping, then you need to consider a few causes.

Caused by overwatering. After overwatering, its root system suffers slight rot. Most of the roots are still fine. It will not affect its normal growth and flowering. But it will drop a large portion of its leaves. The way the leaves drop is that they turn slightly yellow, then fall off directly. If this happens, control watering, and let the surface of the potting soil dry out. When the potting soil is about to dry out completely, just water it thoroughly.

Another cause is a lack of fertilizer, because as long as the light and temperature are suitable, the orange jasmine grows continuously and keeps producing flower buds and blooming. At this time, nutrients must be replenished sufficiently. Since it grows continuously and blooms continuously, we give it a multi-element mixed fertilizer. We can directly use a compound fertilizer. The principle of fertilizing is light fertilizer applied frequently. Each time you water, you can add a few granules, and using it about once a week is enough. This allows it to keep growing and keep blooming. A lack of fertilizer will cause its leaves to turn yellow and fall off.

When growing orange jasmine, never let it get too dry. If the potting soil dries out completely and the leaves start to wilt, it will damage its root system, and after you water again, its leaves will also fall off. The principle of watering is to water thoroughly when the potting soil is about to dry out. We can stick a bamboo skewer into the pot and pull it out often to check. When the skewer has no moisture and no dampness, you can water it thoroughly directly. Use fertilizer on it regularly. If you are growing it outdoors, the ventilation is very good, and it is easy for the air to become dry. You can appropriately spray water on its leaves every morning and evening to increase the air humidity, so its leaf drop can also be reduced a lot.
