Default Jade plant help

I have two Jade plants on both the leaves have started becoming
yellow/red

on one of the plants the leaves are no longer stiff and strong, but a
little wrinkly and and feel soft. this is on most leaves
on the other plant again some yellow and red leaves, but i new leaves
growing are an odd shape - they look like the clubs picture in a packet
of cards.

both plants are next to each other on my window sill. they get a lot of
light, but not directly as i have a net curtain between the window and
the plants.

I rarely water it..but i cant be sure if anyone else in my house hold
has been watering it.

any advice?


Yellowing and shriveling is from lack of water, the leaves turning
reddish is from too intense sunlight, this is common with jade plants
in windows.

I have a few jade plants growing outdoors, in the ground, they get no
care whatsoever and flourish because in the ground they need no care,
they even propogate by bits falling off and rooting. But yours are in
pots, and you don't care for them nor do you have any idea who is
caring for them if anyone... so WTF do you want us to do, do you have
any children, do you at least pay child support, I bet you don't feed
them either, you probably don't know their names.

You should hire a plant nanny... sounds like your potted plants need
repotting, and then a modicum of basic care... by your own words you
admit that you're too irresponsible to care for one of the easiest
plants possible.
