Jade Plant Drooping Trunks: Overwatering Confirmed

Leaves shriveling at tips, trunks drooping = classic overwatering. Water every 7-10 days (summer), 12-20 days (winter). East window is good. Check for mealybugs (white cotton at leaf bases). Do not repot; add sand atop soil to improve drainage. Be patient; recovery takes time. Avoid moving outdoors.
