In recent years, people who grow potted plants at home have all been drawn in by the succulent, this cute and good-looking plant. It has a particularly large number of varieties, some are relatively easy to keep alive, and the key point is that there are also many styles, so there is always one type you like. The editor has also kept quite a few succulents before, but did not find them easy to grow at all. Anyway, it always felt like watering was wrong and not watering was wrong too. Looking at the especially beautiful ones others posted in Moments, I always felt a bit envious.

A few days ago, at a friend's home, I saw a plant with particularly beautiful flowers. Because I do not often grow flowers, I did not know its name either. Only after asking my friend did I learn that it is called jade plant (Crassula ovata), and it is also a kind of succulent. But she grows it especially well, and it had bloomed many flowers. After learning from her, I found out that she had specifically gone to ask an old florist, and the old florist told her several methods, which was how she could grow the jade plant so well. What exactly are the methods? Listen to the tips I learned.

The first thing is the pot and the soil. The growing soil for jade plant is the most important. You should choose loose soil that drains and breathes well, so that you can ensure there is no waterlogging problem. Also, the flower pot should be a bit larger, because when it grows it gets very big, and this way you can also avoid trouble later. Actually, when it comes to sunlight and watering, it is about the same as other plants. As long as it is not direct sunlight, it is fine, but you should water a bit more, though not too much either. If there is too much, water accumulating at the bottom of the pot becomes a problem, because as we said above, you need to find soil with good drainage, and that is certainly because it cannot hold too much water. Also remember to fertilize it, because only with sufficient nutrients can it grow better.

After coming back from my friend's home, the editor hurried off to buy a pot. According to the methods she described, growing a plant is not something that happens in a day or two, so the editor had no choice but to wait patiently. But at home, looking at the jade plant's leaves so round and smooth, they look just like a jade pendant. It seems this plant's name has a lot to do with its appearance. The editor really likes it more and more the longer I look at it, and cannot help wanting to go buy another pot, but first I should think of a way to grow this pot well.
