Does the Jade Plant shed its leaves in winter? What should I do if the leaves fall off in winter?

1. Do leaves fall in winter?

Jade plant is an evergreen plant and under normal circumstances it does not shed its leaves in winter. If leaf fall occurs, it is mostly caused by improper maintenance. The maintenance method should be changed in time, otherwise the growth will be inhibited. The temperature is low in winter. If the temperature is not controlled, not only will the leaves fall off, but the plants may also be frostbitten, and in severe cases, they may freeze to death.

2. What to do if leaves fall off in winter

1. Increase the temperature: It is not cold-resistant, so it needs to be kept warm in time after the temperature drops in winter. It is best to keep the temperature above 10 degrees so that the leaves will not fall. If there is no heating in the room, you can cover it with plastic film, which will not only keep warm but also keep moisture, making the leaves greener.

2. Get more sun: It likes light, and the light is very soft in winter, so it should be placed in a well-lit place. Getting more sun is also beneficial for it to survive the winter. It not only increases its own temperature, but also encourages it to accumulate more nutrients, thus avoiding leaf fall. The more light they get, the glossier the leaves will be.

3. Reduce watering: Water evaporates slowly in a low temperature environment, and the growth rate is also slow, so less water is consumed. Reduce watering and don't water unless the soil is dry. Frequent watering will lower the temperature and make it difficult for the plants to absorb water, which will lead to water accumulation and root rot, thus causing the leaves to fall off. In addition, when watering, water along the walls of the flower pot, and do not water thoroughly.
