Yellow leaves can be a sign of over-watering. Make sure your jade plant isn’t sitting in water. Let the soil dry out before watering again to prevent root rot and restore the plant’s health.
If your jade plant is getting leggy, it might not be getting enough sunlight. Move it to a brighter location with indirect light to encourage healthy, compact growth and a fuller appearance.
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.
