Question about Jasmine-

My jasmine's leaves started drooping heavily, I suspected underwatering.

When I watered they perked up (a bit) ! I added stones on top of soil to conserve some moisture too.

But now I found these shriveled leaves (see first pic below), \& they r not dry and crumbly as I would expect for underwatering.... they're sorta squishy

I'm wondering if this is just jasmine dormancy for the winter? One or two leaves dropped off too.  
Or is it a watering issue?

I recommend removing the stones to prevent root rot.

The soil needs to dry out to let the roots breathe. Dry soil indicates the plant has used up the water and it’s time to water again. Waiting too long to water causes dehydration since the plant has to suck water from the leaves to live. Overwatering to compensate for under watering causes additional damage to the plant. The roots starts sending water again. But, the leaves are partially damaged. They cannot support the water. So, water sits around the roots. Leaves soften and fall off. Decorative rocks block evaporation from the soil which further exacerbates the problem.

Check for root rot. Let the soil dry out before watering. Remove the rocks. Ensure there is good airflow around the plant. 🍀🪴

You’re welcome. I love decorative rocks! I just don’t have a cactus that can live with them. 😁
