# I’m fairly new to taking care of plants, but have had this jade…

I’m fairly new to taking care of plants, but have had this jade around for a while and it’s always been super healthy, I just noticed this leaf—which fell off when I touched it (yellowy with black spots)—is it anything to be concerned about?

If it’s just one leaf I wouldn’t get too bent out of shape.

There’s a second on the other side with black starting, it just hasn’t fallen yet

Hm, maybe that’s a little more concerning. Maybe back off on the watering?

If you dont fertilize it could be a nutrient issue. If you dont let the soil dry out and that leaf youre holding is mushy, it could be an overwatering issue. It could be too much direct light depending which way the window faces and the time of day. If one or more of these ring bells, those are it. Mine do rly well a few feet from an east facing window, just wanted to add in case it rly is sunburn.
