About Jade
Jade plants have been used for centuries across cultures for their beauty and healing abilities. Tree-like succulents, these houseplants can live with you for your entire life, or longer—up to 100 years! Jade is commonly used in the traditional practice of feng shui, creating energy to harmonize people and their environments—and encourage the flow of money. 💸

Jade love being close to bright, sunny windows 😎.
Place it less than 1ft from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.

Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Jade in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Jade
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Jade after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I’ve had this larger jade for a decent while now, but it’s suddenly getting some leaves that are yellow and squishy to the touch near the bottom. I did just repot this plant a few weeks ago with some better draining soil. I only water it every few weeks. After recently watering it about 2 weeks ago, I did notice the soil was very dry all the way through on my moisture meter. Normally, this discoloration is from overwatering, but the soil has just been so dry. Any help?

Hi can any one tell me what's wrong with my plant start it dropping leaf I haven't watered her for about three weeks. I checked her soil to see if it was dry this morning, and it was, so I watered it. Then I moved her to be under a grow light because she usually sits on a corner of a window in my room. She gets partial light, not direct light at all.

Sunburnt Jade? Hey guys, I’m wondering if my #Jade is sunburnt or not. Also Is it okay she looks like that or should I move her a bit away from the windowsill?

Just water them weekly with the suggested size and give them plenty of sun. Can be revived if wrinkled and unwatered if you ever go on vacation for 2-3 weeks. Great plant for those who want a low maintenance juicy plant.

I lost an entire tree to root rot, but managed to save some cuttings that have grown into their own trees. Their branches are beautiful and random.

I found this plant under a sale rack just inside the entrance at Aldi. I paid .50c for him just because I felt so sorry for the little guy. So far he’s doing good.

Be prepared for them to last in low light or high light but make sure to keep them inside because they cant survive outside

Got this as cuttings. Took forever to prop in water. May be better to just prop directly in soil.
