Jade plant leaves turning thin and soft? Use a bit of this to make the leaves plump, emerald green and glossy

Many flower lovers are especially fond of the jade plant (Crassula ovata). Its plant form is tall and elegant, its branches are simple and vigorous with the charm of an ancient tree, and its leaves are thick and fleshy, with a peculiar leaf shape, as smooth and clean as green jade. In summer it blooms profusely, with green and white intermingled, very beautiful!

Not long after the "National Day holiday" (October 1), some flower lovers reported that the leaves of their jade plants had turned thin and soft, and the whole plant had lost its luster, greatly reducing its ornamental value. When this happens, use a bit of this thing right away, and the leaves will immediately recover, plump, emerald green and glossy!

After the "National Day holiday", the weather gradually turns much colder, and some of the jade plant's new branches and leaves have low resistance and cannot withstand it, which is why the leaves turn thin and soft. So you must quickly supplement the jade plant with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote full, hardened leaves, increase resistance, and help it get through the winter better.

The "this thing" mentioned here is actually monopotassium phosphate solution, which can be quickly absorbed by the jade plant, thereby quickly making its branches and leaves full and hardened and increasing resistance.

Specific method: prepare a 0.3% monopotassium phosphate solution and pour it directly into the jade plant's potting soil, basically watering on a clear evening, then the next morning use clean water to flush it, then water thoroughly once more, diluting the monopotassium phosphate, promoting root absorption. Use it 2-3 times a month.

For jade plants with some new branches and leaves, you can prepare a 0.1% monopotassium phosphate solution, pour it into a fine-nozzle watering can, and spray it onto the branches and leaves. When spraying, spray from bottom to top so that both sides of the leaves are evenly covered. Also spray 2-3 times a month, so that the fertilizer enters the plant body from the branches and leaves, quickly restoring the leaves and increasing resistance.

After the "National Day holiday", besides fertilizer, light is also especially important for jade plant care. As the sun's intensity decreases, you can let it receive more light, promoting photosynthesis, improving metabolism, making the plant fuller and deeper green, and increasing its ornamental value.

That's all for jade plant care. If flower lovers have other additions, you can share them with everyone in the comment section below. If you want to learn more about flower growing, you can follow Huajianke!
