Nae,

Can you post a picture of it, and the broken pieces..

It sounds alot like it is just wrotting away...See if you can find any stiff branching or pieces, cut them off asap to at least save some of it and root them.

Also, check the root system quick..See if there are any roots left, rotted or if they are ok...

Get back to us ...please..

Ps..I have been mean to ask you..

Do you really love hoyas?

I just might have a huge one for you that love sto bloom over and over again that is just too big for my home and I would consider giving it to you since you live so close..

I would drop it off for you, or meet you somewhere 1/2..;-)

Shoot!
I'm always sad when a Jade seems to be dying...

Check for healthy branches or tips, as Mike suggests.

Pull the plant out of its pot, and shake off some of the soil. If the soil is damp or wet, leave the root-ball out of the container for a day or two - you can wrap it in a bit of newspaper if you want.

Has the Jade been in sunlight?

It's a cultural problem, if my friend in Alaska can grow "Jade" so can you. Norma

I suggest that your sol/watering pattern is to blame for the rot. Please do a search for 'Jade' here at the C&S Forum. The correct watering regimen, soil type and other cultural practices have been written on so extensively that you'd have a tome of wisdom were you to collect it all.

Nae,

Yep, sounds like rot. Sorry... However, if you'd like a butt-load of Jade cuttings, I just trimmed back one that blew off my porch on a windy day. Well, let me rephrase that - nature pruned it on one side, and I pruned it on the rest to even it up. So I have all these cuttings that I've got in a pile that I'm wondering what to do with... I'd be happy to share if you want to send postage...

Nae,

In my comment, it was meant to read 'soil' but Sol, or rather lack of it, is also likely the problem.

I would suggest you start over with fresh cuttings of native Nebraskan Crassula ovata - I know a lady who farms them on her quarter-section.

Naw, Jeff, I grow 'em on the back 40 ;-) Good thing I rounded 'em all up and brought in 'cuz it's snowing pretty good right now. ("A light dusting" my a$$! So much for "forecasting"!)

Denise in Omaha

Lol, Denise I would love to get some cuttings. I want to apologize to everyone for not getting back sooner, but I was tending to my son who is really sick.

Josh, I checked the roots and they look fine. I have not watered the jade for a couple of days, but I was going to do that tonight.

Mike, I would love to get your hoya..you are right we do live close to each other, I don't mind going 1/2 way to meet you. I am going to take the branches that look somewhat healthy.

Thanks everyone for offering me all this information and some of your beloved plants. I really appreciate it.
