Hello! Recently I noticed that the leaves of several of my jade plants are becoming soft, wrinkly, and in some cases shriveling up entirely and falling off. In some cases, they develop some brown coloring. Does anyone have any idea what I can do about this? I don't think there is an issue with watering or light, as that has remained constant. I suspect there is some kind of pest or bacterial issue.

@Jademan, sorry for the late response. I have one tiny one like this that definitely had issues with dehydration. The roots were not taking water 💦 so I had to remove it from and clean the dead roots, repotted in a dry media, am still waiting a week to maybe 2 weeks to repot and hoping it will recover. Crossing Fingers! but I have a lot of these.

@GigiPlumeria thank you very much for your reply! Perhaps I'm not doing a good job with my watering, or maybe I have an issue with dead roots like yours. I will have to make some time to inspect my plant's roots. Thank you for the tip. I hope all goes well with your plant Smiling
