Hi! I saved this guy last night, and I can't figure out what it is. I'm kind of thinking it's a Flaming Katy but I'm not entirely sure. Also, any tips on how to save it? I repotted it, watered, and added a small amount of liquid fertilizer.

    It looks like a jade plant 😊

    Definitely looks like a jade. I have one I inherited from my grandmom that’s 30 years old, and my best advice is it looks like you’re overwatering it. Mine practically thrives on neglect. A well draining pot is also important. You also might wanna check for root rot or mold, which can happen from overwatering.

      If you do have mold or root rot, this next part might not help. But if the roots seem fine and there’s no mold, If you have drainage holes in the pot, try putting the pot IN a container with water so that the plant can suck the water up from the bottom up, and when it stops lowering the water line from the container, you’ll know it doesn’t need any more water. But for now, DO NOT WATER IT. Neglect it if there’s no mold or root rot. NEGLECT IT. If it’s anything like my jade (which had survived two broken pot accidents via my dad and his elbow, and 30 years of people forgetting to water it) that thing might just thank you for not watering it. Think of it more like a succulent.

      Oh wow. That’s really weird with the wrinkling then. I had an issue with that with a new jade I bought and the issue was that I overwatered it and the soil didnt absorb all of it and started to create mold. I’ve found the wrinkling tends to mean overwatering with jades

      I would check the soil moisture level at the bottom and check for any mold or root rot, even if I am wrong here

      I repotted it in fresh potting soil when I got it home. The soil that it was in the original pot was dry all the way through, so I'm really at a loss here. But I'll keep all of that in mind for future watering. Thank you!
