Jade Plant Care

Jade Plants are timeless succulents symbolizing good luck, wealth, and friendship.

With thick, glossy leaves and a tree-like form, they thrive with little care in bright light and dry conditions.

Perfect for windowsills and desks, Jade is a long-living, easy-care houseplant ideal for beginners and collectors alike.

Loves bright, direct to bright indirect light. At least 4–6 hours of sun daily. Insufficient light leads to leggy, stretched growth.

Let soil dry completely between waterings. Water deeply, then allow excess to drain. Reduce watering in winter.

Thrives in dry indoor air. No added humidity needed.

Ideal range: 60–85°F (16–29°C). Protect from frost—keep above 50°F.

Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Ensure pot has drainage holes.

Feed once a month in spring and summer. Use diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer. No feeding in fall or winter.

Repot every 2–3 years or when rootbound. Use a shallow, wide pot with good drainage.

Prune to shape or remove leggy growth. Pinch new growth to encourage branching. Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust.

Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Can cause vomiting, lethargy, or incoordination.

Leaf drop = overwatering or sudden environmental changes. Wrinkled leaves = underwatering. Pale or stretched stems = insufficient light.

Watch out for mealybugs, scale, spider mites, and aphids.

In feng shui, Jade Plants are thought to attract prosperity—often placed near entryways or business desks!
