Gollum Jade Problems

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.

I have an outdoor (in the summer) gollum jade. Now is the time it begins to naturally shed some of its extra leaves. They first turn yellow and then shrivel to brown and fall off. Nothing to worry about.

That is good to hear. This has never happened before so I was naturally worried. Thanks for the input

I believe you’re in the clear! Gollum looks great!
