# I have an arabian tea jasmine plant which, every time it starts to…

_Posted by Pearl on 2023-08-13_

I have an arabian tea jasmine plant which, every time it starts to grow, tries to die again. It’ll put out nice new growth and then some of the youngest leaves get crunchy (in an overwatering way) while others droop (in an underwatering way). Any advice for this goddamn unbelievable drama queen?

Did you check the roots? It could need repotting to a larger size pot if it’s not a water issue.

Yeah, it was repotted two months ago

How’s the humidity?

#### Pearl replied on 2023-08-13

Probably on the low side, in your experience does this one like it damp?

#### Lazy Gardener replied on 2023-08-13

Not damp, but high humidity. If you have a lot of tropical plants, it’s worth investing in a humidifier.
