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.


Why is it that you have to find the most destructive way possible of dealing
with people? Any apparent joke that you make will be at the expense of
somebody else. You constantly mock and never praise, you see the worst and
never enjoy. You constantly carp about other people's behaviour, how they
are doing wrong, they are cheap, they are careless, etc etc. If humanity is
such a trial to you why deal with others at all? Why not pull the plug on
that computer and sit and fester in your own misery and leave the rest of us
alone. You are a sorry specimen when the only face you ever show is being
mean and petty to strangers who have done nothing to harm you.
