The wrong light also causes Cape Jasmine's leaves to turn yellow. When we care for Cape Jasmine, if Cape jasmine is under a strong light environment for a long time, moisture evaporates faster in plant leaves, strong light can cause leaf burns. When plants grow in a dark environment for a long time, the blade can't be normal photosynthesis, chlorophyll content is low, lutein content accumulation is overmuch, cause yellow leaf.

If it is caused by too much watering, should stop watering in time, dig out the plant from the soil, clean up the soil on the root system of the plant, cut off the rotting root system, disinfect and dry it, and then plant it in the new soil. If it is caused by insufficient watering, the first yellow leaves will be cut off, and then water again, watering to water from the bottom of the basin outflow, keep the soil moist.

When we care for Cape Jasmine, if we apply too much fertilizer, Cape Jasmine leaves turned yellow, dried up, and withered. Excessive fertilization would result in the accumulation of a large number of organic substances at the bottom of the soil, resulting in transpiration and heat phenomena, resulting in the burning of plant roots and affecting the normal growth and development of plants.

If the light is too strong and causes the leaves of Cape Jasmine to wither and turn yellow, it is necessary to move the Cape Jasmine to a ventilated and cool place in time, spray water on the leaves and surrounding of the plant to supplement water and cool down, cut off the withered leaves, wait for 2 ~ 3 days, and then place them in the place where the scattered light is used for culture.

If too much fertilization results in yellow leaves falling off in Cape Jasmine, you can irrigate the plant-soil with a lot of water to dilute the concentration of organic matter in the soil. You can also dig out the roots of the plant, pruning away the rotting roots, sterilize them, dry them, and plant them again.
