Yesterday a flower-growing friend left a message for Chengcheng, saying that they had bought a small jade plant and asking how to grow it into a big old trunk?

First,If you want to grow a jade plant into a big old trunk, you have to lay the foundation right from the moment you pot it!

That is, when choosing a flower pot for it, try to choose a slightly larger pot, but it cannot be too large, to prevent the potting soil from staying wet for a long time and causing root rot. A pot 3 to 4 cm larger than the original one is suitable!

Only with a suitable flower pot will its root system be able to stretch out fully. Only when the root system stretches out well will it grow thicker and stronger, and be able to better transport water and nutrients to the branches and leaves!

Second、If you want a jade plant to quickly grow into a big old trunk, having only a suitable flower pot is definitely not enough. The soil must also be loose and breathable. Fortunately, it is not picky about soil. Use 50% ordinary nutrient soil and mix it with 50% river sand! Usually, be sure to let it receive sufficient light, as this will be more conducive to the aging of its branches, and it will look more robust!

In spring and autumn, the seasons when it grows relatively fast, do not let water and fertilizer run short. Water it when the potting soil is completely dry, and give it a three-element compound fertilizer two to three times a month! Jade plants grow relatively fast. As long as everyone raises them this way, anyone can grow them into a big old trunk!
