@SalmonKing002 youre welcome! Quick question: your plant care card says that your pot doesn’t have drainage holes- is that true?
@SalmonKing002 A jade plant (Crassula ovata) needs bright, indirect to direct light, well-draining succulent soil, and the "soak and dry" watering method—meaning you let the soil dry out completely between deep waterings. They thrive in standard indoor temperatures (65°F–75°F) and rot easily if given too much water. Light Put your plant near a south- or west-facing window.Aim for 4 to 6 hours of bright light daily. Low light makes the plant weak and leggy. WaterLet the soil go bone dry before you water again.Water every 2 to 3 weeks in spring and summer. Water about once a month in fall and winter. Dump out any extra water in the saucer so roots do not rot. Soil and Pot. Use a special Cactus and Succulent Soil Mix that drains fast. Choose a pot with a drainage hole at the bottom.Terracotta pots work best because they dry out faster.Temperature and FoodKeep the room between 65°F and 75°F.Keep the plant away from cold drafts and air vents.Feed with a weak, balanced liquid fertilizer once or twice during spring and summer. Do not feed in winter.
water when it looks thirsty and the soil is totally dry. when its thirsty the leaves will look duller (like, they wont be as shiny as they are now), thinner, and will start to wrinkle. this can take literally any amount of time and it can change so dont follow a schedule. when in doubt, dont water. succulents are extremely good at surviving droughts so it takes a veryyyyy long time for underwatering to kill them. i had a crassula a while back that got zero water for like 6 months straight and it was fine. super dehydrated obviously but i just watered it and it went back to normal. succulents are also very prone to rot so its extremely easy to overwater (and kill) them, particularly as a beginner. rot progresses very quickly and can kill your plant within days
