Care Tips for Fifty-bell Jade

Potting soil: repot once every 2 years, in spring. During the growing season, water once every three weeks, keeping the potting soil slightly moist. In the high-temperature summer season, the plant is in a semi-dormant state, the potting soil should be kept dry, and it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place.

Propagation Methods of Fifty-bell Jade

Sowing: the seeds are tiny; sow indoors in pots in spring. After sowing, no soil covering is needed, just press lightly. The suitable germination temperature is 21-24°C. Germination occurs 8-10 days after sowing, and the seedlings grow slowly.

Division: carried out in spring together with repotting; pull apart the densely growing young plants and pot them directly.
