It might be from not getting enough Sun or way too much Sun. Is there any way I could see the plant please?

So I took a look at your jade’s plant profile, and it says it was watered 14 days ago. Are you allowing it to completely dry out between waterings? I wait at least 18-20 days before watering any of my jades, so I’m wondering if the frequency of the waterings could be what’s affecting your plant.

My first guess would be that the leaves are changing like that because of overwatering, or the opposite problem; where if the soil has never been changed out or the jade has never been repotted, that perhaps the soil has become hydrophobic and is no longer absorbing the water when you water it, leaving it seemingly underwatered. Would you happen to know what type/brand soil it’s in, or when it was last repotted, or if it’s ever been repotted into new soil?

Hope this helps.

Thank you I think it might be because of the soil looking at what you've said because I haven't repoted it since buying it so I will try repoting it in new soil and see if that helps. Thank you for the help👍
