# I bought this pretty lady from the discount table at the nursery but…

_Posted by The Plant Newbie on 2025-07-20_

I bought this pretty lady from the discount table at the nursery but her brown crispy leaves have worsened since she got home. I plan to repot her but HELP! Why is she so crispy and brown. My hope was for her to live in the sun on my balcony. She is a Brazilian jasmine.

Looks like you may just have a slight variation! She looks super happy and healthy so i would argue it’s all normal

Could potentially be water issues if you’re using tap as tap water can contain high levels of chlorine and fluoride. Try switching to filtered, distilled or rain water.
