hello I've got Jasmine on a trellis that gets a decent amount of
sunlight. I keep it well watered, it's always a moist and I spray the
leaves every morning. Lately, some of the leaves are turning yellow
and red like leaves would do in the autumn - so they're not dry and
crunchy. Nothing that I know of has changed over the few months I've
owned it. I called the nursery, but they couldn't figure it out! They
suggested I move it to the far end of my balcony so it gets more
direct sunlight, and that I water a little more often.

Oh and I'm using an organic seaweed-based fertilizer.

TIA!

Only guesses from me but are you spraying the leaves and then the sun gets
onto them; are you over-watering it - a common problem with many plants
and/or, has it been caught by a cold snap?

My money is on the cold snap, My jasminum mesnyi which is free standing
outside has leaves just as you describe at present, it will soon grow a
new set
