One of the most likely reason is that the plant is receiving too much water. The Jade Plant requires low water levels. You should allow the soil to dry out almost completely in between watering.

The jade plant which is outdoors some leaves are discolored and others are wrinkling. Can you tell me what to do to make jade plant healthy looking again?

Depending on where you live it could be that the temperature it soo hot for the jade plant. I live in Arizona, keep my Jade shaded all day and am having the same problem. I stopped by a local nursery and was told that it's just too hot outside for the little fella. Now I'm cutting it back, placing it near a window until the temperature returns to under 100 degrees. Hope this is of some help. Diane in AZ


What cause a plant's leaves to wilt?

This is a loaded question. It can be due to micro or macronutrient deficiency, lack of water, too much sunlight, high salinity, infection, etc. The mechanical part of wilting is due to cells in the plant's leaves losing water due to the lowering of turgor pressure (essentially a lack of water causing the cells to deflate like a balloon losing air.)

What does that mean for Jade plants that are succulents?

A succulent is a type of plant that stores water in their leaves and stems. When you see a plant that has thick leaves like a jade plant or aloe plant they are considered a succulent. Succulents require little water and can tolerate dry climates and soils. If you ever touch a jade leaf and it is squishy or wrinkled it needs more water, that is a sign that the water in the leaf is not enough. Cactus and jade plants are just some of the most common succulents.

How often do you need to water a jade plant?

You don't need to water it too much, because the "leaves" of the plant hold in a lot of water. You should only water it twice a week with about half a cup of water each time. I allow my jade plant to almost entirely dry out between watering. If the leaves look wrinkled, then it is overdue for water, but generally erring on the side of moderately dry soil is best for this houseplant. Over-watering will cause rot, and death to this house plant.
