Jade plants are very low maintenance, however they do suffer from problems and pests. Let’s learn some Crassula Ovata Care tips to keep your Jade Plant happy and healthy.
JADE STEMS STRETCHING OUT - If your Jade Plant is not getting sufficient sunlight it will become etiolated. Etiolation is a plant’s natural response to lack of light. Stems and the plant itself are stretching out towards the direction of the light source. In addition to the stem stretching out, you will notice that the spaces in between each leaf gets wider. The plant’s growth tends to be weakened when in this state. You may even notice leaves falling off subtly. See the comparison between these two Jade Plants. The plant on the right has large gaps in between each set of leaves. The plant on the left is more tight and compact with normal spacing.
When your Jade Plant grows too tall too quickly it will not look as attractive as it once was.
FIX A STRETCHED OUT JADE - Propagate cuttings to alleviate some of the weight on the top. You will eventually see new growth where you made a cut. Wait for the cuttings to callus over for 3-5 days and then place cuttings in well draining soil.
JADE PLANTS LEANING TO ONE SIDE -Jade Plant is not getting enough light it may end up growing towards the light and leaning to one side. Find a brighter spot for your plant and remember to rotate it to ensure it gets light evenly.
BROWN LEAVES OR DARK SPOTS ON JADE LEAVES - Most common reason for brown or dark spots on the leaves of your succulents is sunburn. This can happen if the plant is exposed to direct full sun or if the plant was recently moved to a sunny location without acclimating it first.
FIXING BROWN OR SUNBURNED JADE LEAVES
There is nothing you can do to heal the leaves that have been sunburned on your Jade Plant. Over time they will grow out leaving your succulent looking it's best once again.
If your Jade Plant leaves are more than 50% sunburned, definitely remove them. You do not want significant energy trying to save a sunburned leaf. New growth is where you want that energy spent. Brown spots or leaf burn on your Jade Plant could also be from too much salts. If you live in an area that naturally has salts or minerals in the tap water, these salts and minerals can cause your Jade Plant to develop brown spots on its leaves.
OVERWATERED JADE PLANTS - Jade Plants thrive with very little care under normal household conditions, when potted in well-draining soil. The soil must dry out before watering again.
Overwatering is the #1 killer of most succulent plants and especially Jade plants. I find that Jade plants actually need less water than most succulents. When the leaves are plump, it has enough water and giving it more can damage the plant with a condition called edema. Edema is when the leaves take up the excess water and swell. The swollen leaves then develop brown or rust-colored spots, often on the underside of the leaves. Your jade plant will actually let you know when they need water. When the leaves begin to thin out and pucker or wrinkle slightly, this is the signal that it is time to water.
FIX AN OVERWATERED JADE PLANT - Help the plant give off the excess water by making the air drier, warmer and better ventilated around the plant. If the soil is soggy, remove the plant from the pot and gently remove the saturated soil from the roots of your Jade Plant. Refill the pot with fresh, dry, well-draining soil.
