What to do if the Rainbow Jade loses its leaves

reason

Overwatering

Rainbow Jade grows slowly and is relatively drought-resistant. It can still grow even without watering for a month, so it does not need large amounts of water or fertilizer. If you water it frequently like other succulents, it will definitely lose its leaves.

Insufficient light

Rainbow Jade likes a warm environment and should be exposed to sufficient sunlight throughout the growing period. But proper shading is needed in summer, otherwise it is easy to cause leaf burns and falling off.

Improper ventilation

Rainbow Jade rarely suffers from diseases and pests. If leaves fall off, the first thing to do is to determine whether there is improper ventilation. If the environment is humid and the air is not circulated, stem rot and leaf spot may occasionally occur.

Treatment

More sun, less water

Rainbow Jade is a plant that likes warmth and light, especially an environment with a large temperature difference. Therefore, you need less water and more sun exposure. More sun exposure does not mean excessive exposure to the sun, which can also cause problems. The amount of water also depends on the situation. Water less in winter and more in summer, and keep the plant ventilated.

Timely ventilation

As long as the temperature outside rises, don't keep the rainbow jade indoors. Place it outdoors or near a window and ventilate it frequently, and even the most serious illness can be cured.

Disease control

Stem rot is mostly caused by an overly humid winter environment. Healthy stem segments at the top of the plant should be cut for reproduction. At the same time, avoid excessive and frequent watering in winter and keep the potting soil slightly dry.
