# Can someone give me some advice with my jade? It’s been like this for…

Can someone give me some advice with my jade? It’s been like this for a while. I’ve reported it into faster draining soil and increased the amount of light it’s getting (hence the grow light in the back) but it just keeps getting worse 😭. Any tips at all would be appreciated!

My jades always suffer in the winter because of the light situation. They need a ton of light and warmth and it’s hard to give them that in the colder months. How much light are you giving it? I have mine on 12 hours a day this year, even sitting in the window.

I think I have it on either a 6 or 8 hour setting. I’ll try the 12 hour and see what happens. Thanks!

I have mine in a sunny window. Also I water it only every fourteen days. I bottom water it. Jade plants hate wet soil. You should really prune and clip off some of the stem clusters and leaves to encourage new healthy growth. Are you sure it doesn’t have root rot? It might benefit from replanting it with succulent potting mix. Seriously don’t be afraid to prune it. It will encourage new healthy growth provided there is no root rot or bug infestation.
