Jasmine Tree Leaf Drop: Temperature, Light, and Water Balance

Ed's 4-ft potted jasmine: outside all summer, green leaves but no blooms. Recently leaves browning/dropping. Brought inside, worsening.

Key Facts

• Jasmines bloom January–February.
• Must come indoors when nights drop below 50°F.
• Indoors: south window, drapes/blinds open all day – sun lover.

Watering Balance

• Too little OR too much → brown leaves, drop.
• Allow to dry between waterings, but not dry long.
• Test: Lift pot (or tilt). Heavy = wet, light = water now.
• Newly indoors plants often need MORE water initially.

Recovery

Fix watering, provide max sun. Can regrow leaves in few weeks.
