A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Jade Question & Ivy Question

Help! I am slowly murdering two of my house plants!!

First - my beautiful Jade plant: He's loosing all his leaves! They just drop right off! The soil is slightly moist. It's not in direct sunlight but the room is somewhat bright. Maybe it's a light thing. Should this guy be in better sun? I had him in a very bright porch and I swear he got burned (this was last summer).

Then there's Ivy. Poor Ivy. She is droopy and sad looking. Soil's not wet but moist. Light - indirect. I moved her to a bright window a day ago but we have been having some overcast weather. What does the poor girl want? (I don't know what type of ivy she is. She came in a floral arrangement. She has flat pointy leaves.)

no, he didn't get burned. the red tint is perfect and says he was happy. and his soil should dry between waterings.


now for your ivy, i can't help you, i've killed every ivy i've ever had.

I love giving my Jade more sun from time to time and letting it get that red on its leaves! Very pretty. Thankfully it hasn't been dropping any leaves.

Do you have a pic of the ivy
