# I recently got a Jade Plant but some of the leaves are drying out…

_Opslået af Camila den 2024-04-05_

I recently got a Jade Plant but some of the leaves are drying out (even if I’m following the instructions of watering it every two weeks). Also, some of the leaves are a bit damaged but I wouldn’t want to cut all the damaged ones, what should I do?

how does the soil feel to the touch? is it hard and crunchy when you gently squeeze the pot? maybe the soil is a bit hydrophobic?  
if so, maybe try bottom watering! just place it in a bowl of water and wait for some/most of the water to absorb into the soil

also i’d say you can gently pull/snap or cut off the leaves that are damaged, but they should be fine even if you left them on

The soil feels dry and it is crunchy when I squeeze the pot. I don’t have any information on the type of soil though :( but I’ll try bottom watering and cut off the damaged leaves as well. Thank you ❤️

I highly recommend letting it bottom soak and in a day or two after it’s had time to soak up some water repot it with some fresh soil.
