I have 2 jade bonsai at home, but this concerns a plant that is not mine, but I'm in charge of taking care of. It's also not being kept as a bonsai, just a gorgeous plant.

My boss keeps his jade, which measures approximately 4 feet from pot rim to apex, and about 4 or 5 feet in diameter, in the office I manage. Since July I've kept it up fine. But lately, since early December or so, it has started shedding branches at what I think is an alarming rate, and one whole side of it is withering depsite my attempts to keep it hydrated. The other side looks gorgeous.

The plant is circular, so there's no front really and I rotate it so everything gets sunlight once in a while.

Help! I would hate to see this beauty go (and the look on my boss' face if it does!).

Photos on the way, but it only looks like it needs water.... on one side only tho??
