Jeni,
Could you provide a photo of the jade?

Planto

Did you receive a rooted cutting, or are we talking an unrooted cutting? If rooted, then wait a little bit more. Jades in hot season can go dormant, they do their best growing when temps are moderate. How long have you had it?

It's an established plant. I think it's mostly stress that caused the dropped limbs/leaves. It lost probably two or three limbs and several leaves. FWIW, here's a pic:

Jeni,

Stop watering it so often now. Crassula ovata takes the summer off, for the most part - its main growing seasons are spring and fall. Such a small plant shouldn't be watered so often, but that's also dependent on what you're growing it in, Plant-Crazy Al's Gritty Mix to cite an example. I don't like watering the Crassula Family (it's both a genus and a family) plants much between spring and fall, but that's just me who, at the risk of full disclosure and monumental shame and abuse from my adoring crowd, killed a plant much like yours this year - the fact that it was growing on its side in mud might have had something to do with the slow march to mushiness.
