What to do if the leaves of jasmine dry up in winter
An introduction to the relevant knowledge of green plants and flowers that answer netizens' questions about how to deal with the drying of jasmine leaves in winter and the correct tips for caring for jasmine. Let's learn about it together below.
Jasmine is an evergreen plant that remains green and lush even in winter as long as the temperature is suitable, making it very ornamental. However, yellowing and falling leaves often occur during winter care. This is mainly related to the maintenance, such as the temperature of the environment and improper watering, which can cause the plant to have yellowing and falling leaves. So, how should we care for jasmine in winter to prevent this from happening?
1. Keep the air humid
Many jasmine plants tend to have dry and yellow leaves in winter, which is mainly related to the dry indoor air environment. After indoor heating in winter, the air becomes relatively dry. Although the temperature is suitable for plant growth, dry air can easily cause the leaves to become dry and尖.
In winter, you can gather all the potted plants at home in one place to increase the humidity around the pots. Also, frequently spray water on the plants during the noon time to increase air humidity, which can effectively improve the humidity.
2. Take good insulation measures
Jasmine will not shed leaves in a suitable environment in winter. However, if the temperature of the maintenance environment is too low, it may also have yellowing and falling leaves. Although the leaves of jasmine fall, it is not a problem as long as its stems remain fresh and intact, as it will sprout new branches and leaves in the spring.
If kept in a warmer room in winter, with a temperature not lower than 10℃, it will not shed leaves and will have a stronger ornamental value.
3. Reduce the frequency of watering
Most of the yellowing and falling leaves of jasmine are related to improper watering. In winter, the plant grows relatively slowly, and some have entered a semi-dormant state, requiring very little water. If watered too frequently, the soil becomes too moist, which can easily lead to root rot and cause yellowing and falling leaves.
Jasmine should not be watered too frequently in winter. If the potting soil is still slightly moist, there is no need to add water until the topsoil also dries up, which is what we often call the "wet and dry" watering principle.
4. Get plenty of sun
Jasmine is a plant that loves sunlight, and it should not be lacking in sunlight during winter care. Under sufficient light conditions, its branches and leaves grow more vigorously, and the leaves are darker green. If it does not get sunlight for a long time, the leaves will be dull in color, and the plant will be weaker.
In winter, you can completely place the potted jasmine in a sunny balcony, allowing it to have sufficient sunlight every day, and it will remain lush and green even in winter.
5. Stop fertilizing in winter
Apply a comprehensive compound fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to jasmine in the late autumn. As the temperature drops in winter, the plant's demand for nutrients decreases, and fertilizing should be stopped to avoid fertilizer damage, which can also cause yellowing and falling leaves.
In winter, it is important to control watering, stop fertilizing, pay attention to the humidity and temperature of the environment, and let it get plenty of sunlight. Even in winter, it can remain lush and green, full of vitality.
The above is the experience and tips for dealing with the drying of jasmine leaves in winter and the correct care of jasmine. I hope this article can bring you some help!
