# hello i think this plant is a ripple jade and it was THRIVING over…

_Posted by lex on 2023-09-01_

hello i think this plant is a ripple jade and it was THRIVING over summer and then randomly all of the leaves (especially the bottom leaves) started falling out and idk why. There’s only one branch and most of the leaves are gone, does anyone know why it did this and if it can come back strong ?

Might have been overwatered? Have you checked the roots?

I haven’t checked the roots but there is a possibility that I overwatered it, how much do you think I need to water it ?

#### Lisette replied on 2023-09-01

It depends on the type of soil, lighting \& pot size but I usually water my regular jade every 3 weeks, maybe 2 if it’s been really hot. In the winter, once a month and it always gets bright light. It’s in cactus/succulent soul \& is in a 4 inch pot for reference.

I can’t tell properly from the picture but if it doesn’t have drainage I would repot the plant into one that does. These are succulents and don’t do well sitting in water :)

It does have drainage ! I think the problem is that i over watered it

Mine was doing th same over winter but once I got I acclimated to outside full sun it’s gotten SO strong! Don’t overwater and give that baby some light. 💖
