Jade Plant Care 101: Tips for Perfect Growth

Jade plants need plenty of sunlight to grow. Place them in a sunny spot with indirect light, such as near a window. Too much direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, so balance is key.

Water your jade plant only when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid over-watering, as it can lead to root rot. Let the water drain fully, ensuring the roots aren’t sitting in water.

Jade plants thrive in well-draining soil. Choose cactus or succulent soil mixes to prevent water from accumulating. This ensures the roots stay dry and healthy, preventing fungal issues.

Jade plants prefer temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Keep them away from cold drafts or heat sources. Consistent, mild temperatures encourage healthy growth and vibrant leaves.

Feed your jade plant during its active growing season (spring and summer). Use a diluted, balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to promote strong growth. Avoid fertilizing in winter.

Trim leggy or overgrown stems to keep your jade plant compact and bushy. Pruning encourages new growth and helps maintain its desired shape. Always use clean, sharp scissors.

When your jade plant outgrows its pot, it’s time to repot. Choose a slightly larger pot with drainage holes. Repot every 2-3 years to prevent the roots from becoming cramped and promote healthy growth.
