Hi guys! I just adopted a jade plant and was worried about this little leaf. Should I cut it off or will it fall off on its own?

it will fall off on its own. typically jade leaves yellow if the media stays wet too long or is watered too often. check to make sure the soil dries completely within a few weeks and that you’re only watering when it’s totally dry. the stems and leaves will soften slightly when they’re thirsty and begin to wrinkle when it’s been too long between waterings.

Thank you!

no problem! i’ve just noticed it looks like while your plant was in the greenhouse a caterpillar or other large bug took a bite of the yellowing leaf, pest damage will also cause a leaf to die off if the damage is significant.
