Wilting Jade
Hi everyone! I took in this Jade April 2nd after a long winter with no water. All the leaves were wilted and very very wrinkled!
I’ve thoroughly watered it twice now and added fertilizer, but some of the bottom leaves still aren’t getting supple or lifting. I bottom watered the second time and it took up the water FAST! I’m thinking if it needs more or if I should just remove them?

There’s a wilting point for leaves which, once it gets to, can’t go back to plump again. A few on the far left look that way. The others may still make it. You could wait and see which ones make it. Or remove the ones you don’t like the looks of. It’s going to have some long bare stems, to make it more bushy you could cut back - it’ll encourage new fuller growth below. And you could put the cuttings back in the pot or start a new one 🪴. It looks like it might have gotten too much direct sun at some stage plus the lack of water made it leggy. It needs a bright spot but while it’s recovering maybe more gentle light? Good job getting it rehabbed 🙌👍🍃
@MariansOasis this is great, thank you so much!
