Want your jade plant to grow fast? Learn these 2 tricks and it will quickly grow into an old stump.

So today Huahua wants to talk with everyone about how to fertilize a jade plant so it grows fast and its leaves grow plump.

If you want a plant to grow fast, you should make preparations from the very beginning when potting it. Before potting, you will definitely need to prepare soil for the jade plant. We can mix some organic fertilizer into the soil as nutrient soil. Doing this allows the jade plant to win at the starting line from the very beginning and can promote the jade plant's later growth.

During the process of growth, plants actually need a lot of nutrients. Therefore, we must ensure that the jade plant has sufficient nutrition during its growing period. During the jade plant's growth, you can add an appropriate phosphorus and potassium fertilizer solution to the jade plant. A phosphorus and potassium fertilizer solution can supplement the trace elements lacking in the plant body and is very helpful for the jade plant's growth. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer about once every half month, preferably a fully decomposed, diluted cake fertilizer solution, so the plant will not be burned by fertilizer at too high a concentration.

The fertilization management for a jade plant throughout the four seasons is actually very simple. In spring, the best time to fertilize is once every two weeks, with watering every 3-4 days. In summer, because the temperature is too high, the jade plant may enter a dormant period. At this time, we should stop fertilizing the jade plant to prevent the fertilizer from burning the jade plant's roots. In autumn, the fertilization management for the jade plant is the same as in spring, with no major changes. In winter, the weather is too cold, so it is best not to apply additional fertilizer, as it may cause leggy growth and affect the jade plant's growth.

If you want the jade plant to grow fast and strong, fertilization is not only a good method, propagation is also a good method.

Generally speaking, the main propagation method for jade plants is cuttings. Cuttings are simple and convenient, and right now it is autumn, which is a great season for cuttings. The first step is to select the cuttings. Choose branches of the jade plant with relatively thick and healthy leaves, and make sure the branches have new buds at the ends. Only with new buds can the jade plant propagate faster.

After the cuttings have been dried for about 3 days, the branches can be inserted into the soil. Before inserting, first check whether the end of the branch is dry. For the cutting soil, we should preferably choose soil mainly composed of fine sand. Insert the branch about one third into the soil, water it, and just make sure the soil is slightly dry. Finally, place it in a spot with scattered sunlight, and after about one month new jade plant buds can grow.

Making a jade plant grow fast is very simple. Just master cuttings and fertilization management.
