Star Jasmine

Question

Hi there,
I have a Star Jasmine for about 3 years now. The year before last, all the leaves on it died so I cut it back and it produced lovely green leaves and flowered for the summer. However, last year the leaves turned red early in the year and stayed red for the whole year and it didn’t flower at all last summer. The leaves are still red so I want to know what I can do, if anything, to get the leaves back to green and for it to flower again this summer. It’s in a very large pot with a climbing frame. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

The consensus on red leaves seems to be overwatering. If you don't think you are watering too often it may be the pot is too large, which can cause the plant to absorb too much moisture. I am including a link to care instructions so you can see if all its cultural needs are being met, i.e., watering, pruning, fertilizing.
