What to do if the leaves of iron jasmine turn yellow

1. Caused by light

Jasmine is a plant that loves sunlight very much. There is a saying in the sun that "jasmine flowers cannot be killed by the sun and are not afraid of the sun". It is a typical representative of strong sun-loving flowers and plants. The high temperature season in summer is its peak growth period, so it needs sufficient light. When there is sufficient light, its branches are thick and the leaves are bright green. Lack of sunlight will cause the leaves of the iron jasmine to become large and soft, lose their luster, and the color of the leaves will gradually change from dark green to light green and then to yellow and dry, and slowly fall off.

2. Improper watering

The iron jasmine is a very drought-intolerant plant and must have sufficient water during its vigorous growth period. During the peak period, the temperature is higher and watering is only needed every 3 to 5 days. When watering, avoid water accumulation in the pot. Too much water will also cause the leaves of the iron jasmine to turn yellow and dry. Just water the soil in the pot thoroughly and moisten it.

3. Unsuitable temperature

The plant of iron jasmine is particularly afraid of cold. When the temperature is only around 6-7℃ in winter, the iron jasmine should be moved indoors immediately for planting. You also need to open the windows for ventilation to prevent the leaves of the iron jasmine from turning yellow and falling off.

The indoor temperature should be kept above 6°C and watered once a week. Since the temperature in winter often fluctuates, when the temperature is high and the weather is warm, the iron jasmine should be moved to a ventilated place outdoors for light.

4. Untimely pruning

Pruning of the iron jasmine is also very important. Cut off the overgrown branches and leaves in time to prevent it from absorbing too much nutrients. It can make the plant shape beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and also prevent the leaves of the iron jasmine from turning yellow and falling off due to lack of nutrients.

In winter, as long as the soil in the pot is kept slightly moist, the branches and leaves of the iron jasmine will remain lush green and it will survive the winter safely.

The above points are the main reasons why the leaves of the iron jasmine turn yellow.
