Alright @xtsho . You asked for pics of my $0.33 Easter Lilly in bloom after it's regrowth. No blooms. Too cold outside and can't alter my indoor lights. But she rose from discarded dead stuff.

I hope we all get massive blooms this year. No extended deluges or excessive heat please.

I may get a full day of sun today. Beach weather. Then we get xtso weather again. Damn I want to dig in the dirt again.

Is that Bay Leaf in the bottom left of the first two photos?

No. LOL. I've wanted one. Sadly the mutant sibling of the lemon tree with it. No room for trees here.

I'm taking cuttings and starting shorter trees this summer. 8+ foot is at ceiling height here.
Wife's whim was fun learning curve. Now a monster pain over winter. And wickedly thorned bastards.

I have this jade plant. I grew it from two small branches starting 20 years ago. Last time I repotted was 5 years ago and it's done well until recently. Now it's dropping leaves and not growing vigorously. I plan to repot as soon as weather allows and take a look at the roots because something is sideways. I want it back in the same pot or it will take two people to move it. It's going to be a beast of a project.

My most common cause of leaf drop on paddle leaved succulents results from excess water and food. Second most common issue is over lighting.

I have a dwarf fuchia I did all to this winter. She may not recover. Glad I took cuttings.

It's in a north facing window and has done well there for years. You are right that it's probably watering and renewing the medium to improve drainage should help (I hope). Maybe some root pruning depending on what I see. Thanks for the input.

When you repot it? I suggest bare root and a spray bottle of 3% H2O2 to spritz the roots after you rinse them clean. Leave peroxide spritz. Only water and air. It will kill most of any fungi you have. Then just repot.
