_Posted by Scarlet on 2025-11-03_

Hi! My jade plant has been dropping almost all of its leaves. It is starting to look quite bare, and I’m concerned. I haven’t been watering too often and try to keep it in good light. Does anyone have any idea why this may be happing? Or has some possible ways I can fix this? Thank you!

She looks a little cramped. Try upsizing your pot; when you do, refresh the soil (and add some grit like perlite to the mix and small pebbles on top )

Is this a regular Jade, not a lemon/lime? I think that’s the correct name. Anyway, if regular Jade, the leaves look light green. They should be dark green. And dropping leaves. These are usually caused by low light or low nourishment. These plants need very bright light to thrive. Not sure what you call “good light” but maybe it’s not enough. If it can get direct morning sun, that would be great. But acclimate first.
