Hello and help, please! - November 8th, 2003 at 06:32 AM
Hello -- I'm a fairly inexperienced gardener, although I am learning very quickly. I maintained very successful outdoor pots/planters this summer, and I most recently brought the mature jasmine vine that I purchased at the beginning of the summer inside. Unfortunately, I had to pot it in a smaller pot (I know this is a no-no, but I didn't have a choice, the pot I had it in was simply too large for the space I needed to put it in). It is in a spot next to a glass door where it receives afternoon sun. I transplanted it 5 days ago and since then I have lost 30 leaves that turned completely yellow, and there are more that are turning. I am assuming that it is in shock due to the transplant, but don't know if there is anything I can do to save it. I think I have watered it the appropriate amount -- enough after transplanting, but not too much. Do you think it will survive the shock, or are all my efforts to save it from the winter gone to waste? Thanks for any help you can give me.
