In summer, flower lovers all like to grow Jasmine because it is fragrant when blooming and easy to cultivate, with flowers blooming one after another. Although Jasmine is easy to grow, it is prone to yellowing leaves. Today, I will analyze several common causes for you.
Common reasons for yellowing leaves in Jasmine
Jasmine is a relatively easy-to-grow potted flower. If you encounter yellowing leaves while growing Jasmine, you can compare the following five points to find the cause. Most of the time, yellowing leaves in Jasmine are caused by our improper maintenance.
1. Excessive drought
Jasmine grows vigorously in summer, blooms many flowers, and requires a lot of water, requiring sufficient fertilization and water. If there is insufficient water or no watering for a long time during maintenance, it may cause drought in Jasmine, resulting in a large number of yellow leaves.
If Jasmine has a large number of yellow leaves due to excessive drought, it is recommended to remove the yellow leaves first, then prune the branches, water the Jasmine thoroughly, and place it in a location with sufficient light to wait for new buds to grow.
2. Root rot due to poor ventilation
Jasmine likes a lot of water and fertilizer, but it doesn't mean it can accumulate water. If we water Jasmine too much or use potting soil with poor breathability, causing waterlogging in the potting soil, it may lead to root rot in Jasmine, resulting in a large number of yellow leaves and withered branches.
It is best to choose loose and breathable potting soil for potted Jasmine, and avoid using low-cost general-purpose nutrient soil, which is prone to problems. The soil mixture can be made of 2 parts peat soil, 1 part decomposed leaf soil, and 1 part pearl rock or coarse vermiculite, mixed evenly for planting.
3. Lack of fertilizer
What to do if the leaves of Jasmine turn yellow?
Jasmine has a vigorous growth and many flowers, so it requires a lot of fertilizer and water, making it prone to a lack of fertilizer, which manifests as yellowing leaves.
Especially many flower friends think that plants in bloom cannot be fertilized and will stop fertilizing when Jasmine is flowering. Some even do not fertilize Jasmine at all during the summer. As a result, Jasmine is prone to severe fertilizer deficiency, with leaves turning yellow and losing green in large areas.
Therefore, when growing Jasmine, it is necessary to persist in topdressing. Even when Jasmine is in bloom, it is necessary to continue at least one balanced growth fertilizer per week, maintaining the (G-Y) of nitrogen fertilizer.
Some flower friends may wonder, isn't it supposed to use monopotassium phosphate to promote flowering? Jasmine is also a plant that blooms on new branches. Without sufficient nitrogen fertilizer, new branches will become fewer or weak, and the flower yield will naturally not be guaranteed.
