How to care for a jade plant? These care tips you must know

The jade plant is a very likable plant, but many people always run into problems like root rot when growing it. In fact, as long as you master the following points, growing a jade plant is very simple.

The jade plant's optimal growing temperature is between 20 and 30 degrees. In summer when temperatures are high, be sure to shade it to avoid scorching sun; during the spring and autumn growing period, give it plenty of light; in winter the temperature should be kept between 7 and 10 degrees.

During its growing period, it needs enough water; water it roughly once every two or three days. Note that you must avoid waterlogging. In summer, be careful to control watering to avoid leaf drop, and in winter reduce watering.

During the jade plant's growing period, apply a dilute liquid cake fertilizer two or three times a month; when fertilizing, be careful that the fertilizer concentration is not too strong.

If you want the jade plant in your home to bloom, keep it in a warm spot with plenty of light. Normally, you can prune it into whatever shape you like.

If you water too much, the jade plant will develop root rot, so normally be sure to give it plenty of ventilation. If the disease is severe, you can spray it with some carbendazim for control.

In spring, once the surrounding temperature is above 10 degrees you can repot it. When repotting, stop watering a few days in advance, and be careful not to damage its branches.

In autumn, keep it in a spot with plenty of light. When watering, wait until the potting soil is dry before watering, and when the temperature starts to drop, be careful to control watering.
