If the leaves turn red and drop off, your plant could be stressed
What’s the problem?
My jade plant’s leaves are turning red and falling off.
Diagnosis
The jade plant (Crassula ovata) is a relatively hardy succulent that can develop red leaves when exposed to intense sunlight. However, this can also be caused by stress factors, such as temperature fluctuations or inconsistent watering. Some reddening is normal, but excessive redness accompanied by leaf drop indicates the plant is unhappy.
