Hello.

I have had a jasmine tree for about 6 months which I think is called orange jasmine (Murraya-paniculata) which recently developed some problems - it began dropping leaves quickly. Many people here posted questions regarding similar problems, but not the same. The leaves of my tree fall off while still green or even dry out while still green. Mostly they are adult leaves, but occasionally young ones as well. Some branches are already bare.

During winter time the tree was healthy and blooming, but now something has happened to it. Could it be the lack of light? It stands to the side of a east facing window and during winter it stood right in front of it. Is it possible that this could make such a big difference. There are no vents in the vicinity and we don't use air conditioner. I water it twice a week because the soil dries out very quickly.

Also, I have noticed a large number of small, brown centipedes in the soil as well as some small, fat, white crawling bugs.

Today, I moved out to the east facing balcony hoping that this will help.

Or is there a different reason why the leaves would fall off while still green? Please, help me if you can before this nice tree dies.

Thank you

Bart Z.
