Crassula Jade

Light: Place your jade plant in a bright spot where it can receive several hours of direct sunlight each day. It tolerates bright light well, but avoid direct sun exposure during the hottest hours of the day, especially in summer.

Watering: Jade plants are succulents and store water in their fleshy leaves, which allows them to withstand periods of drought. Water your jade plant moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between each watering. Make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent water accumulation, which can lead to root rot.

Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix for succulents or cacti. You can also add sand or perlite particles to improve drainage if necessary.

Temperature: Jade plants prefer moderate to warm temperatures. Avoid temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius, as they can damage the plant.

Fertilization: Fertilize your jade plant with a diluted balanced fertilizer during the growing season, typically from spring to autumn. Avoid fertilizing during winter when the plant goes dormant.

Pruning: If your jade plant becomes too large or starts to get leggy, you can prune it to encourage more compact growth. Use clean, sharp scissors to cut unwanted stems and leaves.
