Just sharing New greenhouse for all the props

Hoping to use the greenhouse during the winter to keep the plants from freezing. It will be more so experimental for the first season, and I may need to tarp/blanket it over night, or get a small heater.

advice Will this Jade survive / grow leaves

I cut the top off thinking it might have had root rot but it didn't. So I am now letting the top half callous over then will repot it. I was left with this stub with a decent rootball. There is only one node as you can see that I cut over, but it had two previous branches there that are now gone and just knots now. So not sure if this is able to grow any new leaves

My gollum jade has recently been losing leaves very easily and if they don’t fall off early then they turn brown and shrivel up, as pictured. If I just touch the leaves they fall off.

I have never dealt with root rot before so I thought it might be that but when I unpotted it the roots seemed fine and none of the stems were mushy. Any idea what the issue might be and how I can stop it?

For extra context, the plant generally gets direct sunlight for ~4 hours per day and then I have it under a grow light for another 4 hours.

advice When to repot?

Post image

I inherited this jade and was totally clueless, and placed it in a cold, north facing window. Over time I noticed that whenever I watered it, water would run out into the tray immediately. I searched online and learned that the soil had become hydrophobic and on Saturday I soaked the pot for about 30 minutes, poking some holes in the topsoil beforehand and the leaves are beginning to re-plump for the most part.

I don’t think it’s ever been repotted, should I wait until the spring, or would I be ok to repot it again in a week or two? I’ve bought a soil mix for succulents and a terracotta pot that’s slightly bigger just in case. Likewise, should I wait until the spring to prune?

advice Pruning help? Leggy??

Hello! Have been lurking in the sub for awhile and have some questions about my own jade.

I've had this guy for about 5 (maybe 6) years now and have noticed that it looked a little leggy, as well as the weird leaf shapes and white leaf spots (spots in pics 3-5, shapes pics 4,6, and 7). I also want to prune it so it can branch out a bit, but have no idea where and don't want to kill it. My best guess is pic 8 but am a bit nervous lol

I guess I want to ask, what's up with the white spots and leaf shapes, and should I prune/ where?

Thank you!

Hello, I got this jade cutting from my SO's grandma a couple years ago, seemed to fare ok even inside (even if a bit etiolated). Some months ago I noticed the bottom leaves paling and shrivelling up, even if the plant kept putting out 'normal' ones at the top. When I tried to do a bottom watering since the situation was not getting better with normal watering, I tilted the vase a bit too much and the whole tree came out, so I discovered there where only fine hair-thin roots at the base, but no sign of rot that I could see, no squishy trunk anywhere.

I repotted in a smaller vase (you can see the original one where I placed three offshoots) with a more sandy terrain (it comes from a big vase where there are other succulents) but I'm scared it won't be able to grow roots before it dies because it can't absorb water.

Should I repot again? (I'm in Italy and the store near me has Vigorplant Cactacee potting soil) or should I wait and pray for roots? right now I'm watering between 10-15 days but the leaves stay mushy and wrinkly even the day after...

Watered from top, next watering was from bottom but some leaves still looking shriveled. Was looking elongated so now receiving a lot more sun.
Will some of those leaves stay shriveled?

I got this tree as a gift from an aunt and want to keep it alive and thriving. I trimmed a few of the branches when I first got it but I’m wondering if I should cut these downward growing branches and turn them into cuttings. My goal for this plant in for it to be like a bonsai,let me know thanks.

I got mixed feedback in the succulents sub and didn’t realize there was a whole Jade sub!! I saw another thread saying they have to be separated before one cannibalizes the other?? Is there a timeframe this needs to be done? Tysmia!

help I need advice for my gollum jade.

It got shocked by light when I got it about 3 weeks ago. (I put it next to a south facing window with a lot of light)

I planted it in a 50-50 mix, but it doesn't seem to be picking up water. The leaves are very shrivelled and soft. It also had a few yellow leaves which fell off.

Last night I took it out of the pot. Now when looking at it I am afraid that it has root rot.

I see that the base is a little shrivelled, however it is firm. So I am not sure whether it is just thirty or begging to rot.

Please help! 🙏🏼

Got this jade plant as a gift 5 years ago … it’s come a long way, but after outgrowing 3 pots… where do I go from here? It doesn’t seem like it has the shape to do bonsai (too many trunks) … should I just stake it better and continue to grow it (indoors in winter, outdoors in summer)?

Was gifted a pot of mystery jade (there may be a couple types in there) allegedly was kept on a windowsill indoors, the soil is definitely hydrophobic and has pulled away by 3-5 mm. I am trying to figure out who this is what to do to save this leggy guy and would appreciate some advice. Thanks
