# My jade plant keeps dropping its leaves even though I thoroughly…

My jade plant keeps dropping its leaves even though I thoroughly water it every few weeks. It’s been in the same spot where it’s been thriving (till recently) since I got it. I also can’t seem to get the leaves to grow roots/sprout. Any tips?

Sorry, not every few weeks!! It’s more like once a month or every 3 weeks. None of the leaves are yellow! The roots look fabulous (I repotted about a month \& a half ago, close to 2 months ago). I kept it in most of its soil \& gave it half of its pots of new soil.

Best guess from your pic, is that it needs a lot more light. The stems are leggy and weak looking. They can be grown in part sun, especially morning sun. Not enough light can cause leaf drop. Cause it doesn’t sound like you are overwatering, which is a problem for most people. Leaves take a long time to propagate. Stem cuttings root very quickly.
