Jade Plant Care Tips

• Light: Jade plants can tolerate low-light conditions indoors, where they’ll stay a natural jade-green color. For more vibrant red tones, provide bright, direct light.

• Water: During the spring/summer growing season, allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Cut back water in fall/winter when dormant. Jade plants are prone to rot from overwatering.

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix made for succulents or cactus. Add perlite, coarse sand or gravel to improve drainage.

• Temperature: Jade plants love the warm, dry air typical of most homes. Outdoors, grow in mild, arid climates year-round (Zone 10+). Protect from freezing temperatures.

• Fertilizing: Feed every 6 months during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half. Always water first before fertilizing.

• Propagation: Easy to propagate from stem or leaf cuttings once calloused over. Allow cutting to dry before potting in well-draining soil.
