I can’t keep a jade alive for the life of me! It’s so frustrating! I water a little more dying I water less dying…in a sunny window not too sunny.

We can keep it alive, it’s just really hard to

My mother had one it was huge she basically neglected it from what i remember. I try that and it’s still dying.

Less is more. Less is more. Less is more!!! Cannot stress it they need to be dry before watering again and if you ever not sure i always pull the plant out the pot to check if its bone dry then water but give it a couple more days at a time until you are 100% sure its dry ( if you left it so long before watering it will be a little shrivelled looking which is not bad but it will plump back up within a day or 2

Not a gollum but a very happy plant
