Hi! These like a very well-draining, gritty substrate, which it looks like you have, but your plant card says regular soil, so Iโm not sure. They like to dry out completely between waterings, and they like as much sunlight as they can get. They also prefer dry air vs humidity, so I would recommend a process of elimination to see if your plant has all of those elements in its environment, and adjust accordingly. Feel free to @ me with any questions! Hope this helps ๐ฟโฅ๏ธ
@BabeVila Hi Shannon, thank you so much! The soil is a mixture of perlite and some indoor soil I believeโฆ (my friend is a big plant person and does extensive research before she does anything so I know the soil is good!), itโs well draining and I have it under a plant light for about 6 hours a day. Is it possibly getting TOO much light?!
@Cjpeters26 They like a lot of bright indirect light, so I donโt think itโs getting too much, I think it might like more light if possible. I use these lights for all of my succulents and they LOVE them: https://a.co/d/dxe2BuA just in case you are interested! But a bright window should also suffice. They donโt like too much direct sun but they can tolerate a little. A couple feet from a south facing window would be perfect, or right in an east facing window. Your soil sounds good, are you letting it dry out before watering again?
@BabeVila Because of the weather here we arenโt getting any light in the house, really! So Iโm solely relying on the plant light- but it sounds like I shouldnโt place it directly under and should place more off to the side! I water it usually once a week or week and a half
@Cjpeters26 Oooooh, your soil might be the culprit actually. If it's a regular indoor mix that isn't going to dry out fast enough for a succulent. Indoor mixes are designed to hold onto water, which is the exact opposite of what jades want. Try switching it to a cactus mix with a lot of grit and see what happens.
@Charli3Plant thatโs whatโs currently in there! The plant card is incorrect I have to fix it ๐
@Cjpeters26 you mentioned that it was in a mixture of perlite and some indoor soil in an earlier post, apologies if I misunderstood. Can you post some more pictures of the plant to help us get a better idea of what it looks like?
@Charli3Plant of course! I may be wrong on the soil type so here is a picture- thank you for your help!
@Charli3Plant the top leaves are more plump but the other ones seem to be on the softer side- Iโm guessing I should be watering more then my app is telling me to!?
@Charli3Plant very helpful, thank you!
