Drooping on jade plant
What's Happening
Overwatering causing root stress and drooping. User mistook winter growth slowdown for dormancy, but persistent drooping indicates chronic overwatering with frequent shallow applications preventing full soil dry-out.
How to Fix It
- 1
Check pot for drainage holes; repot into well-draining succulent soil if absent
- 2
Allow soil to dry completely (check by weight or finger test 2-3 inches deep)
- 3
Water deeply every 10-15 days only when leaves wrinkle, until water exits drainage holes
- 4
Maintain bright indirect light or grow light (12-14 hours/day) to support recovery
How to Prevent It
Use moisture meter for precise bone-dry checks; wait until leaves show slight wrinkling before watering; avoid watering on a fixed schedule
