Jasmine Chlorosis: Soil pH, Not Fertilizer

Yellowing (chlorosis) with fertilizer present = soil pH too high (alkaline). Hard tap water raises pH, locking out nutrients.

Fix

  1. Flush with distilled/filtered water.
  2. Apply Mir-Acid (acid fertilizer) 1–2x over 2 months.
  3. Resume regular fertilizer. Continue filtered water.

Check for Spider Mites

Pale mottling = mites, not chlorosis. If mites: spray alcohol/soap solution thoroughly.

New growth should green up after pH correction.
