Hello people,
I've been having issues with this Jade for over two months now (or more). It was doing alright and it looked happy and healthy, until its growth suddenly slowed down. The leaves started getting wrinkly, and soft, mushy to touch. I thought it's probably root rot but the stem is still sturdy. Also, I'm almost certain that I didn't overwater it. I was expecting it would soon collapse, but it's been hanging in there for almost two months now, in pretty much the same state.
And today while examining it, I noticed aerial roots on some of its brances!
I'm amazed because I had no clue that succulents could grow aerial roots. Is it normal?
It would be a great help if someone could help me fix this Jade.

@Baja_Costero - Hello Baja. It's been long. I hope you've been keeping well. I'd be grateful for your help yet again đŸ˜¬

Thank you in advance Thank You!

It looks and sounds like it's being underwatered actually leaves that stop being firm to the touch are low in turgor pressure and becomes soft to the touch because that's where Crassula ovata store moisture. What's your watering routine like?

The morning glory which blooms for an hour, differs not at heart from the giant pine, which lives for a thousand years.

@Smotzer
I'd water it thoroughly once in a week, but that's when it was placed outside in the balcony. In winters (Nov - Feb), I'd let it be under direct sun as the sun wasn't too strong. But when summers came (temperatures 35 degrees C + ), I moved it indoors. For a week or two it was under direct summer sun, and I thought it was getting dehydrated and sunburnt; so I brought it in. Now I scarcely water it because I'm afraid it's already undergoing root rot or something, so I've been refraining from watering. The last I watered it was a more than a week ago, maybe around ten days.
