Hi, I bought a night blooming jasmine about 4 weeks ago. On the first day the leaves got all droopy on me after I repotted, but they quickly bounced back once I watered the plant.

However, after about 2 weeks some of the leaves are getting............curly? Not curly from the tip, but from the 2 sides. Looks like a canoe.
And only about 1/3 of the leaves are doing this, most of it being the leaves on the top. A few random leaves on the lower part are now also curly.
I have researched on the internet and am getting opposite answers to under/over watering or under/over fertilizing.

Since I do not have much experience.........quite confused.

It's blooming fine although it did lose a lot of flower buds after repotting (but I assume it's due to shock since there are now some new buds forming).

I am kind of worried about the leaves curling though.
May someone tell me what is really going on here?

I have been watering with a soluble fertilizer (instruction says to add every time I water) every other day until a little water seeps out from the bottom (it's in an air conditioned building so quite dry).


Thank you!
