So i've had my jade about a year, and it's done really well... but, when I moved I accidentally left it on my balcony for three days when it was about 95 out and sunny. Needless to say it's now losing almost all of it's leaves (after they turn purple). The plant itself still looks alive though, it's nice and green. Is there anything I can do to save it?

it'll be fine. it just got a serious sunburn.
leaving it outside is fine, just not in the full sun and not going so abruptly from inside to outside.
leave it outside for the summer... but keep it in the shade. water as normal. it'll be fine.
remember: jade plants are often found growing in pots that people leave in the darkest, most neglected corners of shops and homes. it's a tough plant and it's supposed to be a good luck plant too.
don't worry.

If you find that your jade is suffering and losing all it's leaves then just pull off any of the remaining green leaves and propagate them. Get some good mix for cacti. Moisten the soil, not wet, just damp and place the leaves into the soil. Oh, and remember to let the leaves callous over for a week or so before placing them in the dampened soil.
I'm not a horticulturist, but I have had plenty of experience.

it incredibly is a succulent, so cope with as you may the different succulent. It fairly enjoys some nutrition now and then and that i water mine basically while the 'leaves' start to look slightly wrinkly. The plant will stay to tell the story, even though it won't seem all that stable shape-clever. it incredibly is probable taking off a pair of the 'leaves' and putting them (slender end down) right into a stable compost. this could supply you new flora which you will look after and keep in shape. i've got at present rescued a known and a bush weeping fig - any innovations?????

don't worry it will most probably survive and grow new leaves. do the following and take a very good care of it.
