This not only affects the overall beauty of Jasmine but also causes headaches for flower growers. This article will analyze the reasons for the falling of Jasmine leaves and provide practical maintenance skills to help you grow healthy and beautiful Jasmine.
Reasons for the falling of Jasmine leaves1. Insufficient light
Jasmine loves light. If it is exposed to a dark environment for a long time, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Ensure that Jasmine can receive sufficient sunlight.

3. Soil problems
Soil that is too compact or has poor drainage will affect the growth of Jasmine, leading to the falling of leaves.
4. Improper application of fertilizer
Too much or too little fertilizer will have an adverse effect on Jasmine, causing leaves to fall.

Jasmine is susceptible to pest and disease infestations, such as powdery mildew and aphids, which can lead to the falling of leaves.
