Care Tips for Jade Bell

Repot every spring, and prune the plant when repotting. Use a mixed soil of leaf mold, nutrient soil and coarse sand. After potting, place it in the sun to grow. If it is kept in shade for a long time, the stems and leaves tend to grow leggy, the internodes are not compact, and the leaves are dull and lusterless. During the growing season, the pot soil should not be too moist; water once a week. During the growing season, fertilize once a month or use a special fertilizer for potted flowers. If there is too much fertilizer and water, the plant's internodes will stretch, the leaves will become soft, and it will be prone to disease.

Cuttings: can be done throughout the year, with spring and autumn being preferable. Cut mature top branches for cuttings; they root in about 7-10 days after insertion.
