Temperature and Humidity
Jade plants prefer average household temperatures ranging from 65F to 75F.
Put your jade plant in a spot that has relatively consistent temperatures.
Do not put it under an air duct or in the path of a drafty window or door.
Use a balanced 20-20-20fertilizerat one-quarter strength on mature plants and a fertilizer with less nitrogen on young plants.
These favorable growth conditions will help the newly propagated jade plant to have a successful start.
Larger jade plants that measure several feet high can become top-heavy.
To remedy the situation, water the plant thoroughly until water freely flows from the drainage holes.
A jade plant with drooping stems or shriveling leaves could also be a response to major temperature shifts.
All-Over Yellowing

Because of this, they’re often passed down generationally.
Another drawback to jade plants is that they are toxic to dogs and cats.
