Honeysuckle help! :(

11 years ago

Hello,

I was gifted with a honeysuckle about a month ago and was completely new to gardening.. had no idea about repotting until he started dying and I did a bit of research online. He was pretty root bounded :( I've repotted him into a huge container and at first the leaves are coming back and things look salvageable but it's been about a week and a half and nothing has improved. ( leaves aren't darkening to their healthy lush state) Can anyone inform me what I should do to improve its conditions? Thanks in advance!

It looks as if it is gasping for water. It may also be suffering from too much hot sun against that white wall but since we don't know where you are located that is an unknown. And I'm not totally convinced it is a Honeysuckle judging by the dead flowers. Maybe a Trachelospermum.

Oh you're right, it is a Star Jasmine! Thanks for the correction, it might be a watering issue then, the wall actually doesn't get too much sunlight and it's been relatively cool lately here. I'll work on that first and see if it's conditions improves. Thank you so much for the info!! :D
