Hi Everyone!
I got this dwarf jade as a Christmas present and I am coming to reddit in hopes to get a more specific diagnosis.
Watering -
I had been keeping a steady watering schedule up until the summer began (A full soaking every 2-3 days). After the summer ramped up I dropped down to watering probably once a week with the same thorough soaking. When the leaves started dropping I became more conscious of my watering schedule so I began watering an average of about twice a week. I still feel like It was underwatered and especially for the spring/summer.
Sunlight-
It was on my kitchen table in a room with a lot of natural light. The tree probably gets about 3 or 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. I am realizing this could be a contributing factor to its progress as these require three times that amount of sunlight (dohh).
Temperature-
Our house was always kept above 60 degrees. sometimes I would bring my plant outside for some direct sunlight in the mornings and it might have experienced hotter temperatures then.
Recent details -
By August the tree had no more leaves on it and the branches had just started to whither. I thought there had been some damage/rot in the root system since it was shedding its long appendages and the roots weren't strong enough to sustain its furthest branches. I re-potted the tree for inspection with a plane-jane bonsai soil. The roots looked healthy. Nothing smelled moldy and nothing was rotting. The roots looked tan/khaki-ish. I also began giving it plant food (https://www.amazon.com/Bonsai-Exclusively-New-England-Gardens/dp/B072BQQWNQ) {Is it okay to post links like this?}. I was worried it needed some plant food since I had missed feeding it in the spring. I also pruned the longest branches back and put it next to a window that gets about 8 hours of light.
The picture is of my plant today. Still no leaves and the branches are withering away. I pinched the trunk and it still feels solid. There was a little squish to it but I think the tree has always been this way.
I watered it this morning and realized I need some more direct help. Any feedback would be appreciated but I fear I'm too late.
