I just bought this jade plant at a farmers market yesterday and I wake up to this. she was fine yesterday I believe. I haven't watered yet but the soil isnt too dry. it got sunlight four hours yesterday from my dorm window but not too direct sun.

    Not sure what youre asking for here and you didnt give much detail of whats going on. The leaves do look sun burnt though. The window sill is a good idea and these succulents can handle a few hours of direct sun light but if youre window is west facing, that may be too much direct light. Try watering and move it back 1-2 ft from the window.

    These guys are stury, they will get funky leaves that drop but its nothing wrong with the plant (most likely)

    Jade Hardy af. Leave in sun and don’t water until the leaves get wrinkly. Thats it.

    The shriveling makes me worry that the roots are damaged, or it doesn’t have an adequate root system, especially since the soil is moist. I would take it out of the container and check that it has roots. Often succulents are simply cuttings poked into dirt sold by opportunists.

    That doesn’t mean it can’t grow roots.

    Have a look and replant in soil with plenty of perlite. Contrary to other advice, they like a lot of bright, direct light.

    Yeah looks like just a little sunburned.

    Give it some time to adjust to its new environment. Follow typical instructions as far as watering goes, when it looks like it needs water, give it a drink lol. Once it seems good and stabilized, you can take a peek at the roots and see if it’s time to really do anything else. I would give it at least 2 weeks before any repotting

    IDK but something is going on maybe it’s environmental. I’ve always had a green thumb
    Now every plant I get dies. Just like that one slowly each leaf goes one by one. We do have a lot more invasive plants species that we’ve never had before. Some the experts don’t even know about. Good luck
    I wish I could have been more help. Im in the same boat
