Advice needed
New plant carer - I was recently given a false christmas cactus, a snow prickly pear, and a jade plant. Any advice welcome!

Jades don’t need much water. They are happy in a well draining soil and indirect light. The stems will get droopy/squishy when they’re overwatered, but can hold themselves up when they’re happy! You can propagate from the leaves so if they’re green when they fall off, you can put em back in soil and they’ll slowly reproduce. This is my largest jade, named Tree :)
I have a few jade plants and they are a good plant for new growers. They love a well draining soil. I take reg potting soil and add extra perlite (the white balls in the dirt lol). I only water when the soil is completely dry or around 80% dry. The roots don’t like to sit in water, it will rot them. I found that Christmas cactus are the same. I’ve killed a couple due to overwatering causing root rot. My favorite to mix in with my potting soil for cactus and succulents is Bonsai jack’s gritty mix. Some of my cactus are in primarily this with only 20% soil mixed in and they love it. It’s sold on Amazon if you’re interested. Hope this helps and welcome to wacky but amazingly relaxing world of plant parenting lol😜
