What to do when jade plant leaves turn yellow? Causes and solutions

1. Reduce watering:

Cause: If the usual watering amount is relatively large, water will easily accumulate in the pot, which in turn damages its roots so they cannot absorb nutrients, so the leaves turn yellow because they cannot absorb nutrients.

Solution: At this time, loosen the soil appropriately and place it in a well-ventilated spot. When watering normally, control the amount well and do not pour a large amount of water at once.

2. Reduce sunlight:

Cause: The jade plant does not need long hours of sunlight. If it is exposed to sunlight all day, the nutrients it contains will be lost, and the leaves will turn yellow as a result.

Solution: At this time, place it in a sunny, ventilated spot indoors, put it outdoors three days a week, and let it get only the morning and evening sun each day.

3. Maintain ventilation:

Cause: If it is kept in a shaded, unventilated environment for a long time, its leaves will turn yellow, and leaf drop will also occur.

Solution: Place it in a well-ventilated spot. This is not only good for its growth, but can also reduce the chance of pests and diseases.

4. Loosen the potting soil:

Cause: Heavy, sticky potting soil has very poor drainage and aeration, and accumulated water cannot drain out, which causes the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: Loosening the soil appropriately allows the potting soil to drain better, improves aeration, and greatly improves the yellowing of leaves.
