How To Take Care Jade Plant. Jade plants like other succulents need to be watered sparingly. Underwatering is preferred to over-watering for good jade plant care.
Move your plant away if its touching the windowpane or from the spot where it could be exposed to the cold drafts. Avoid overwatering your plant by doing the aforementioned finger test to prevent fungus from growing and also make sure to use well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Keep the soil light and well-draining with a pH of around 60.
Water regularly in the summer but only when the soil is dry in winter.
Jade plants thrive in temperatures between 55 and 75 degrees F but they only need average humidity levels. Be sure to use a pot with good drainage holes and a potted mixture of approximately 50 perlite to 50 potted soil or you can use any commercial cacti and succulent soil. It can live for many years and develop into a miniature tree in your home. Get used to your jade plant because with the right care it will be around for quite some time.
