What will happen if Cape jasmine gets too much sunlight?
If Cape jasmine doesn't get enough sunlight, it may grow tall and lanky, with sparse foliage. The leaves may also turn yellow or pale green, indicating that the plant is not producing enough chlorophyll due to lack of sunlight. To remedy this, try moving Cape jasmine to a sunnier spot, or prune nearby foliage to allow more light to reach the plant.
