If you notice this problem, you’re probably making one of these mistakes.

The jade tree is a highly valued and common succulent. In fact, as it is also easy to grow, it is a plant that is often found in homes.

It is characterized by small, round, thick leaves; However, precisely these, can show symptoms of diseases or problems when they turn brown.

So let’s see what the causes and possible remedies may be.

  1. Too much water: The jade tree does not need much water, as is generally the case for all succulents. Watering too frequently and excessively can cause the roots to rot and, consequently, the leaves tend to darken.
  2. Fertilizer: You should not use too much or too often. In fact, in the case of the jade tree, it may not even be critical. However, if you want faster growth, you can use natural fertilizers, such as coffee grounds.
  3. Pot: The container that houses the plant also plays a critical role in its growth. If it is too small, it can cause excessive stress to the plant that causes the leaves to turn brown. If you notice that the jade tree is growing rapidly, move it to a larger pot to give the necessary space for the roots.
  4. Temperature: Excessively high temperatures are not good for the plant. If you notice that the leaves are darkening due to direct and excessive light, protect them in a cooler, shaded area.
  5. Diseases: If it has brown leaves, the jade tree can fall victim to pests such as aphids and mealybugs. You can use natural pesticides.
