Jade plants officially known as Crassula Ovata might be one of the most common and popular succulent plants out there. Its popularity as a houseplant is initially rose due to the fact that it needs very little care to survive and can endure in most indoor conditions.
Known to some as money plant, the money tree, or lucky plant, you can understand the reason for its popularity based on its common names.
Jade plants are forgiving plants and easy to care for. They are resilient and hardy, which make them a great choice for a starter or beginner plant. I always suggest this plant to beginner succulent lovers as it is very hard to kill. It is a succulent plant that requires very little water to survive in the summer, and even less in winter.
Generally speaking, jade plants, like most succulent plants, need at least 5-6 hours a day of bright sunlight to grow properly. If kept by the window that receives bright intense sun, especially afternoon sun, the leaves might experience sunburn (brown spots), until acclimated to the intense sunlight. To avoid this, gradually increase the amount of intense sun it receives.
Jade plants prefer plenty of sun, but direct sunlight, especially intense afternoon sun, can burn the leaves of the plant. You will see sunburned spots on the leaves (brown spots) when this happens. To prevent this from happening, you can move the plant to a location where it receives plenty of bright morning sun as opposed to afternoon sun.
I also get a lot of questions on how to get a jade plant to bloom While getting your jade plant to bloom is not a priority, it is definitely a treat to see happy flowers blooming from it. I have lots of jade plants that blooms every year. There is no exact science on how to get them to bloom, but generally, if you keep your plant healthy and happy by providing proper care and nutrients, as mentioned above, the plant will naturally bloom when it’s ready. To encourage blooms, the plants need to be kept in an environment that mimics their natural habitat. This can be achieved by keeping them cool and dry in the winter months. You need to decrease watering the plant, to a minimum, and only water when the soil is dry but not bone dry.
Jade plants are one of the easiest plants to grow and propagate.
They can be propagated by a stem or leaf cutting. Make sure to take the whole leaf including the base or the leaf will not survive. Make sure to put the cuttings aside to dry for a day or more until the cut part has completely callused over. You can dip cuttings or leaves in rooting hormone and that will speed up the root growth, but totally optional as Jade plants reproduce like crazy!
Next, stick the cuttings in a well draining potting mix. You can either stick the leaf cuttings in soil or lay them flat on the soil.
Make sure to keep the cuttings and leaves away from direct sunlight. I typically have roots form on my cuttings in about two weeks time. The stem cuttings will be fully rooted in about 6-8 weeks. Tug at the stem and if they do not come off easily from the soil, the stems have rooted.
Leaf cuttings take longer because you need to wait for a new plant to sprout and for it to grow bigger. The whole process may take anywhere from 8 weeks to a few months from leaf propagation. Increase sunlight once the plants are established. I water once every ten days or so once the plants are mature.
