    I bought a Jasmine Tree July last year (I live in Louisville, KY) and it was beautiful.
    In the last 2 months, it has dropped about 80% of it's leaves, started growing red berry's or seed pods and I am fearful that it is slowly going to die. It is in a west window, no direct light and no direct heat, livingroom sits at 63*. I want to put it back out in the spring, but it has does not look like it will make it.
    I would like some ideas as to what to do and what to expect.........thanks in advance!

    i always thought jasmine was a tropical - i'd think that temp is a bit low. i could be wrong though!

    have you kept up with consistant watering? the leaf-drop may be part of the normal process. it'll probably start budding out again soon.

    Thanks for the reply.......I water 2x week which is what the florist told me to do. Maybe with warmer weather coming, I will see the difference. It just looks naked with so many leaves gone!

    i'm not familiar with it at all...2x a week, especially for something inside in the winter seems kind of too much. unless it's a very thirsty thing :)

    did you search this forum as well as google for care information?
