How to take care Jade Plant:
Because Jade is a succulent, it does not need much water or direct light. It’s great as a houseplant.
- Temperature : Jade plants like the dry season very much. The best daytime temperature for them is 65-75 F. (18-24 C). Cold weather and damp weather are not good for Jade. It loses its color and turns yellow and mushy. But they can tolerate drought and can survive cold nights if they get a lot of sunlight the next day.
- Watering : Water a jade plant.You need to be careful when watering a succulent. Succulents store water in their leaves and they do not like to be overwatered.Check if your plant needs water or not, stick your finge into the pot 1 to 2 inches. If it feels completely dry, its time to water the plant. If it feels damp, then do not water it.When watering, pour the water in and let it drain for a little. Then, remove the extra water from the drip tray. Do not leave the water in the drip tray or the effect will be same as overwatering.
- Light : Jade Plants and other houseplants on the windowsillJade Plant and other houseplants on the windowsill.Lighting is important to any plant.

- Propagation : It is very easy to propagate Jade plant. You take a root cutting or stem and leaf cuttings.You can also take the leaves that get mushy from overwatering. You can save that leaf and grow another Jade plant. Cut the leaf a few inches above the mushiness and set it aside until it dries out.Leave the dried up cutting over some soil, and water it once or twice depending on the soil. Roots will begin to grow out of the leaf in about four weeks as long as it has a proper environment.You will see little Jade plants as soon as the roots take hold.
- Repotting : Jade plant in a pot.You have to be careful when repotting Jade plants. You cannot just re-plant a jade plant from a small pot to a larger pot.
