Jasmine or Murraya? Yellow Leaves & Translucent Spots

True jasmine (Jasminum) is a vine. Your description—upright, 22" in 8" pot, west window—suggests Murraya paniculata (orange jasmine). Confirm via Google Images.

Critical Questions for Diagnosis

  • How long ago repotted? What was previous pot size?
  • "Moisture stick" = moisture meter? Water when it reads dry? Frequency?
  • Outdoor access (deck/patio)?

Likely Issues

SymptomProbable Cause
Yellow lower leaves (away from window)Low light + overwatering
Translucent spots on new growth (window side)Sunburn or pest damage (thrips/mites)
Stems yellowingAdvanced stress/root issues

Murraya needs bright light, well-draining soil, and drying between waterings. Moisture meters are unreliable—use finger test. Summer outdoors (shade to part sun) dramatically improves health.
