Caring Tips and Tricks

To ensure your Jade Plant thrives, consider the following care tips:

1. Light: Place your Jade Plant in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight may scorch the leaves.

3. Soil: Use well-draining cactus or succulent soil to promote healthy growth.
4. Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 65-75°F (18-24°C).
5. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season, which is typically spring and summer.
6. Pruning: Trim any leggy growth to maintain a compact and appealing shape.
7. Pests: Regularly check for pests such as mealybugs and spider mites. Use insecticidal soap if necessary to keep your plant healthy.
8. Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and promote growth.
9. Humidity: Jade Plants thrive in average household humidity, so no need for extra humidity.
10. Propagation: Propagate your Jade Plant easily by taking leaf or stem cuttings and placing them in soil to grow new plants.
