help for newbie?

17 years ago

I recently acquired a jade, an aloe, and something else..so sorry, I've forgotten the name. Well, I was so excited I started looking for information on how to care for them and found this forum.

First, I noticed my plants started growing taller and the leaves were getting further and further apart. I thought perhaps they weren't getting enough light and moved them to a better light source.

Then, I noticed they started to get brown and mushy. Well, what did I notice? The pots they came in had no holes in the bottom! So even though I had been watering them only once every 2 to 2 1/2 weeks they had gotten water logged (I'm assuming). I tried to dry them out and put them in pots with proper drainage holes, but I'm not sure if they can be saved, if there's more I can do, or if I'm still doing something wrong. That's where I'm hoping you can help.
