    Hello Plant Fans, I have a Star Jasmine plant that is suffering. Its leaves are turning yellow and some of them have reddish blotches on them (see photos). History - we had a healthy star jasmine growing in the same location for 15 years. It thrived and grew several meters tall. We changed out the planter from a leaky oak barrel to a bigger box made of 2' X 4' pieces about 4 or 5 years ago, and the old plant slowly failed and died. Since then we have tried at least 3 more plants, all have perished. : ( I wonder if there might have been something bad on the lumber? Or is it a drainage problem? We have tried to improve the drainage in the box by drilling large hole in the sides. Any advice appreciated! Thanks. Connie
