# Jade plant dropping leaves. Hey all, does this jade plant look…

_Posted by Sarah on 2025-08-07_

Jade plant dropping leaves. Hey all, does this jade plant look overwatered? It’s in a 2 inch pot and in a west facing window. Planta AI says 32% chance it’s overwatered. I let it dry out completely and wait past then to water it. The leaves are drying up and dropping regularly.

Looks underwatered. Leaves are wrinkly. They store water in their leaves. I’d soak it in some water to make sure all of the soil gets hydrated. Like bottom watering. Looks like a terra cotta pot.

I use cactus soil with extra perlite for all my jades since they are a succulent. Your soil may be too chunky and it’s not holding any of the water you give it, unless that is just on the top of the soil ☺️
