I recently planted a 4ft. Pinwheel jasmine bush (purchased from a local nursury). I used 2 bags of their enriched soil planted it outside (south Florida). It gets sunshine and I water it once a day. AT first some leaves were turning yellow and dropping off, but I assumed it was shock. Then I noticed a lot of leaves were getting black tips and then turning yellow and dropping off. Now almost all the leaves have black tips. What did I do wrong?

The pinwheel jasmine is a beautiful plant if well grown. Like gardenia, ixora, hibiscus, ligustrum and orange jessamine, it is an acid-loving plant. It should be planted away from concrete sidewalks, pool decks and house foundations. It is very subject to chlorosis from high pH. Fertilize with an ixora/gardenia fertilizer. It likes sun to partial shade. Make sure the plant is planted at the same depth it was in the original container. Planting too deep can cause the plant to die back
