jade plant dying

Question

I believe that our jade plant got too much water, as the leaves are turning black and falling off. Is there a way to save it?

Answer 1

Yes, your jade plant is probably overwatered. You can try carefully removing the plant, soil and all, from the pot and exposing the soil to air for a few days until it dries out. Then you can return it to the pot, and if possible you can replace at least some of the soil it's in with a potting soil intended for succulents and desert plants. These mixes hold less water.
