Jade Plant care

Jade Plant yellow leaves

One oldest lower leaf drying away may be aging. Several yellow leaves dropping from different stems, wet-soft leaves, or a soft base needs checking.

Correct moisture and exposure

Feel deep in the pot. Empty runoff if wet; water thoroughly if dry and the stems remain sound. Let the mix dry through between waterings.

A dim position can produce stretched growth and slower water use. Move gradually toward brighter light and direct sun suitable for jade. If the base softens, inspect roots immediately rather than waiting for yellow leaves to improve.
