Leaves falling off!

14 years ago

Hi All,

I've had my lovely jade plant for three years now, and have never had any problems. It gets enough sun, it's in a pot that drains well, and I only water it when the leaves feel soft. It was unusually hot this past week here in Chicago (100+) but the leaves felt fine, so I didn't give it any extra water, and it seemed ok.

But yesterday morning, a couple of days after the heat wave broke, it was like it had molted overnight! About twenty leaves fell off, some of them looked perfectly healthy, some of them looked like those pictured here.

I panicked, gave it a healthy watering and let it drain, and put it in the sunniest window in the house. I don't see any bugs under the leaves or in the soil. Its leaves aren't falling off en masse anymore, but they continue to drop off a few each day. What is happening to my plant?

I'm worried about it. Thanks for any insight you can give!
