    My lovely jade plant just started dropping its seemingly healthy leaves like crazy. I cannot figure out why this is happening. There does not appear to be any pests on the plant itself. Can someone Help. Thanks.

    My first thought in too much water. Where is the plant? What kind of soil is it in? how much light? how old is it?......

    I agree, too much water is usually the culprit.

    Other causes could be that it was moved from a high light to low light area sometime in the last couple of months and it is shedding lower leaves. Last cause, but not common, is too dry (hard to do with a Jade).
