Jasmine with yellow and red but not dry leaves
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! - JayDee |

TIA! - JayDee 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? -- -- Sachahttp://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' I spray the leaves every morning on warm days and never at night. I was told by the nursery that I should keep it very moist, bordering on lightly saturated. There is a hole on the bottom and a tray designed not to let the pot sit under water. How are you suggesting I keep the soil? I started using seaweed-based fertilizer for my ficus tree and creeping fig vines; I'm assuming it's good for Jasmine as well? - JayDee |
