New bonsai kit questions was created by Ossified

Posted 1 year 8 months ago #80119
Good morning everyone,

I recently bought a dwarf jade bonsai kit and I wanted to ask a few questions.

I repotted using the materials provided in the kit and over the last few weeks I've had it I've noticed a couple (less than five) leaves start to brown and I've had about 5 fall off.

I water it whenever the soil is dry, around 3 to 4 times a day. It's inside in a temperature controlled space and sits close to a window but not in direct sunlight.

I may be overreacting here but I wanted to reach out in case I was doing anything incorrectly.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there! Watering a Jade several times a day seems like a lot, depending on the substrate mix I water my Jade twice weekly (but it depends on many factors). Perhaps read up here: www.bonsaiempire.com/tree-species/jade-tree

The Jade needs LOTS of sunlight. The maximum it can get - it needs direct sunlight for sure.

Ok thank you for the link and info.

I'll look through that link and back off on the watering a bit and look at repositioning the plant
