If your jade plant is beginning to lean to one side and the leaves are drooping, it’s a sign that your plant could be in trouble. Don’t wait until it’s too late, you can save your jade plant before it’s too late.
The most common causes of a jade plant falling over are:
Insufficient light – Jade plants need a lot of direct sunlight to stay healthy and upright. If the plant is growing too tall and the leaves are drooping, it’s likely that it’s not getting enough light.
Over-watering – Too much water can cause the plant’s leaves to droop and the plant to become top-heavy and fall over.
Root rot – This is caused by over-watering and can cause the plant to become weak and eventually topple over.
Inadequate potting soil – If the potting soil is not well-draining enough, water can pool at the base of the pot and cause the roots to rot.
The good news is that most of these issues can be easily fixed. Here are some tips for how to save your jade plant from falling over:
Move the plant to a spot where it can get more direct sunlight. If you’re unable to move the plant outdoors, then you can use artificial lighting to supplement natural light.
Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Water your jade plant only when the top inch of soil is dry.
Check for root rot by removing the plant from its pot and examining the roots. If the roots are brown and mushy, then the plant has root rot and you should repot it in fresh, well-draining soil.
Prune the plant to reduce its height and make it more stable. You can also use a stake or trellis to help keep the plant upright.
Make sure the pot is large enough for the plant. If the plant is top-heavy, it could cause the pot to tip over. A larger pot will provide more stability.
Add a bit of gravel or pieces of broken pottery to the bottom of the pot to help improve drainage.
These tips should help you save your jade plant from falling over. With the right care and a bit of luck, you should be able to keep your jade plant upright and healthy for many years to come.
If none of these tips work, you may need to consider repotting your jade plant in a larger pot with fresh, well-draining soil. This will give the plant more stability and help it to stay upright.
Lastly, make sure that you are providing your jade plant with adequate amounts of sunlight and water. These two factors are essential for your plant’s health and they will go a long way in preventing your jade plant from falling over.
