Do jade plants like to be misted?
NO! Remember that jade plants are succulents, which means their natural habitat is arid and dry. Misting them can cause major problems with rot or mildew. Jade plants are one of my favorite houseplants.
Are coffee grounds good for jade plants?

What does an overwatered jade plant look like?
Jade Plant Overwatering Symptoms: The symptoms of overwatering a Jade Plant are yellowing leaves, leaf drop, soft leaves and dry leaves. The soil will usually be waterlogged and the roots will show signs of root rot.
Can jade plants be in direct sunlight?
Jade plants need at least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day. Young plants should be kept in bright, indirect sunlight; large, well-established jade plants can handle more direct sunlight. Kitchens and offices with a south-facing window are typically great spots with just enough light, as are western-facing windows.
How often should you water jade plants?
Jade plants are succulents (they hold water in their leaves), so they don't do well when sitting in constantly moist soil, so let the top 1 to 2 inches of soil dry out between waterings. Indoors, this will probably mean watering once every 2 to 3 weeks—but be sure to check regularly!
How do you revive a dying jade plant?
Jade plants can lose their leaves due to overwatering and underwatering. In order to revive a dying jade plant (Crassula ovata), you have to emulate some of their growing conditions with an emphasis on watering with a good soak then allowing the soil to dry out, well draining soil and some direct sunlight.
Why is my jade plant so leggy?
Typically jade plants become leggy from a lack of sunlight triggering the plant's natural defense to “reach” towards the sun. Insufficient light causes the nodes between the leaves to stretch or elongated more than normal. Instead of a compact, full-looking plant, your plant looks spindly and unhealthy.
How do you prune a leggy jade plant?
Simply remove most of the lower leaves and pinch off the growing tip. Once it starts growing and develops more branches, you can repeat the process and pinch out the growing tips or prune the branches back until you achieve the desired look you are going for.
