# Hello everyone, I hope your babies are doing well. I have a question…

Hello everyone, I hope your babies are doing well. I have a question about my jade plant. She's dropping a lot of leaves and leaning over. What am I doing wrong here? She's under a grow light every day and I'm trying to keep the baby ones alive by keeping the soil moist.

Oh noo 😮 she doesn’t look happy at all! Going to say probably overwatering. My Jades prefer to dry out almost completely between pretty sparse waterings. I don’t use grow lights so can’t help you there unfortunately but it looks like she could use more light too.

Oh ok. Sounds good to me less water more light. Do you think I should put her outside in the sun? I appreciate your help ☺️

Less water for several weeks to start, then you can try outdoors, but I wouldn’t change everything right at the same time. The coloring looks ok for now.

Alright sounds good. Thank you so much for your help. I pray all goes well. I'll have to check back in when she gets better.

She didn't get well through all my attempts to give her light indoors. It was a lesson learned. I have other pieces from her when I first transplanted though. Thank you SJ
