Hi, I've been having problems with keeping this Jade from losing all it's leaves and branches. They keep falling off! I posted in the past and took the advice to change the soil. I'm not sure if i'm over watering it. I wait until it's dry and then soak it and remove the extra drained water. The leaves are free of any markings of pest (to my eyes). Is there something specific that i should look for? Here's a link to some pics: http://drop.io/dyingjade111Thanks!

I had a jade that my husband nocked off the table and it broke into pieces. Best thing that ever happened to it. The soil in your photos looks depleted and the photos of the stalks look like there might be rot or a fungus. If this were my plant, I would definitely restart with three new stalks, NEW POT and New Soil. Give it a chance to start new roots from the cutting point. If, where you cut there is more fungus or rot, then it may be something systemic. If so, I would start from even smaller stems until a clear junction appears. It is truly a resilient plant but I would be removing the infection asap if it were my jade. You could actually have three jades if all the main stalks are clear after cutting.
Use 2/3 pebble rock and 1/3 cactus soil in a fresh brand new pot. This worked for me. My jade really loves being in a clay pot. I think it help the roots to breath.

Hi jenricae, I am not sure if you are still having the leaf drop problem or if the jade has even survived but I was wondering what the leaves look like when they fall? Are they still healthy looking? Or all dried and shrivelled? Sounds like you are watering correctly but it really depends on the plants container, location and surrounding air temperature. At rate I hope it's still alive and kicking and here are a couple links about jade plant care and watering that you might find useful. http://www.squidoo.com/jadegardenhttp://www.plantcare.com/encyclopedia/jade-plant-227.aspxGood luck!
