Causes and treatments of yellowing leaves of Jade Plant

1. Unsuitable soil

Reason: The soil used for growing jade plants should preferably be well-drained and fertile soil, which helps its roots breathe and absorb nutrients, helping it grow better and faster. If the soil is not suitable and has poor drainage, it will hinder its nutrient absorption, leading to yellow leaf problems.

Measures: The soil needs to be replaced with soft and fertile soil with good drainage. You can use leaf mold mixed with garden soil and coarse sand to make its culture soil. In addition, you can apply some organic fertilizer to increase the nutrients in the soil.

2. The light is not strong enough

Reason: Jade plant likes to grow in an environment with plenty of sunlight. If there is enough light, its body shape will grow better and more pleasing to the eye. If the light is weak, it will be detrimental to its growth and cause problems such as yellowing leaves.

Measures: It needs to be moved to a location with good sunlight for maintenance to ensure that it has sufficient light. However, when the light is strong at noon in summer, it is necessary to block some of the direct sunlight.

3. Temperature is too low

Reason: The most suitable temperature for the growth of Jade is 24-26 degrees Celsius, and the temperature it can tolerate is 5-35 degrees. The temperature cannot be too high or too low. It is not cold-resistant. In cold winters, if you don't take good insulation measures, it will easily get frostbite and its leaves will gradually turn yellow.

Measures: When the temperature is below five degrees in winter, it needs to be placed in the best sunlight location indoors, such as by the window of a sunny room. Although it can withstand high temperatures, it still needs to be cooled down during the hottest days of summer and moved to a cool place with diffused light.

4. Lack of water

Reason: Jade plant likes moisture and has a high demand for water, especially during its growing period, the amount of watering needs to be increased. If you water too little, the water in the soil will evaporate and the leaves will turn yellow due to insufficient water supply.

Measures: You can increase the frequency of watering, gradually increase the amount of watering, and then keep it stable. In daily maintenance, water the soil thoroughly after it has dried out, so that the soil is moist but without water accumulation. Pay attention to drainage during the rainy season or when watering frequently.
