My jade is so old I don't remember when I got it. It has lost leaves only to have them replaced with a rosette of leaves around the branch where the leaves popped off. I spray a very weak solution on liquid fertilizer on it when it is in the house overwintering. Cleaning leaves with a weak vinegar solution once in a while helps it keep bugs and dirt off the plant. I have a jade plant over a foot high not quite two feet.
Recently some of the branches have fallen off. I am desperate not to lose this plant. There is one shriveled leaf on the plant. Can you help me. Thank you. Has the plant been moved around recently or experienced any changes in its environment—temperature drops, increased watering, decreased light, etc.?
It sounds like the issue could be related to watering or the plant could be responding to a change in lighting. Shriveled, dehydrated leaves indicate that the plant is thirsty. Before watering, check the soil with your finger or a moisture meter to see how wet it is, and be sure not to water until the soil is mostly dry. In terms of light, if the plant has recently been moved from a bright area to a dark area or vice versa , the shock could have caused it to drop its branches.
However, I have 1 leaf did something quite different. It grew low and full-almost like a flower. The last 2 years it had nice smelling flowers on longer stems. It has lived very peacefully and successfully on my carport, facing east and has become quite nice. However, I have never had a flower on it It has been in the same pot with drainage hole for probably the last years, and basically gets watered when I think of it. It has very little leaf drop, and mainly at this time of the year.
Is it unusual for a plant this old not to flower? Am I doing something wrong? What is the difference between Jade Tree and Spekboom aka Elephant food or bacon bush Although they have different latin names they are both indigenous to KZN and the Eastern Cape, and look exactly the same in the photographs. Although Jade and Spekboom plants look similar and are often mistaken for each other , they are completely different plants and are unrelated.
I recently cut back a rotting jade bonsai plant to about a 3" height by 2" diameter stump. I took it out of the old soil and let it sit about a week until the new soil was delivered. The roots are all crunchy and when I touch them they fall off but the stump is still green inside which makes me think its alive.
I repotted it and now are not sure if I should water it? What can I do to help it? I do not want it to die! I was given a huge Jade plant as I am deemed the only green thumb in the family by family friends who are moving.
I have several plants that I water every Sunday morning - mostly typical house plants and a few white birds of paradise 8' tall I read this article after I did my Sunday watering.
Should I try to dry out the soil and if so, how? I'd show a picture as it is a thing of beauty currently. Keep a close eye on it for the next few months so that you can get a feel for how often it needs water. I have had my jade plant for almost 4 years now.
It looks really healthy, but its larger stems seem to not be able to support themselves and hang down. They are large stems and have lots of leaves on them, so I was wondering if I am suppose to support them somehow or if it is not getting enough water?
If I am suppose to be supporting it, I was wondering how I should do that? A lot of leaves have drop off and has it looking naked, so should I cut some of the trunk and replant them or should wait until summer and leave it in the sun and hope the leaves to come back. The leaves will not regrow from the places they were before.
However, if the plant has multiple branches or trunks, then you could try cutting one off and replanting it in order to start a new plant. Hi, Recently my jade plant started loosing its leaves and the main stem just fell out of the soil when I touched it - the roots were gone like somebody ripped it out even though it was standing in the same corner for months where nobody touched it. The remaining leaves still look healthy though. Is there a way to save it? I have about a dozen cuttings I've transplanted from a mature jade plant.
All are healthy and have strong roots, but they are growing more like vines than "trees" - long, thin green trunks with single leaves. Should I simply pinch back the firs few leaves at the top of the stems? I have a jade that developed a small, dark growth that looked like a tiny artichoke on one of its leaves.
I went on travel and the plant lost some leaves, including the one with the growth, while I was gone. The plant is healthy and spent the summer outside. Any ideas what this growth was? It was about the size of the eraser on a new pencil. I can't find any info on what it could have been. Could it have been an insect? I don't think it was an insect. We don't have anything that looks like that here. I've had jade bloom before, but I'd never seen anything like this before.
I hope it happens again next year so I can take pictures and hopefully see how it resolves itself. I repotted a very beautiful jade plant within the last 6 months and relocated it to another place in my residence. After a few weeks, I noticed the main stems started to fall over, then it started losing its leaves except for a few on the ends of the smaller branches, and all of the branches have fallen over and have gotten twisted around in weird directions.
I also noticed the surviving leaves appear to be shriveled as well. I moved it back to its original place, but this doesn't seem to help. Do you have any suggestions about what to do? I've considered taking some cuttings from it, but am not sure they'll survive.
