How to grow rainbow jade to make it red and beautiful

Curing temperature

When growing rainbow jade, if you want to produce a beautiful red color, you need to rely on the low temperatures in winter.

In the low temperature environment of winter, the rainbow jade begins to gradually turn red. At first, there is a local discoloration, and then the red color gradually deepens and even turns black. Because in a low temperature environment, rainbow jade will produce anthocyanins, which can better absorb ultraviolet rays to provide heat for the plants. As the proportion of anthocyanins increases, rainbow jade will easily turn red.

Maintenance and lighting

Rainbow Jade itself has a relatively high demand for light, and light is the most significant condition for the plant to change color.

Generally speaking, most plants grown indoors receive diffuse light. If the plants are placed in a well-lit place, the color will change quickly. In autumn, ultraviolet rays are the strongest, so succulents are most likely to change color in autumn. If you place the rainbow jade in an environment with strong light in autumn, such as a balcony or windowsill, and expose it to light for a long time, the leaves will easily turn red, but be careful not to make the temperature too high.

Of course, if you don’t like the red color of the rainbow jade, you can reduce the amount of sunlight exposure.

Other maintenance conditions

If you want to grow rainbow jade to be red, in addition to the two main factors of light and temperature, it will also be affected by other factors, such as ventilation and watering.

When growing rainbow jade, you should pay attention to keeping the environment ventilated, and when watering, you should water in moderation and not overwater.

In fact, it is not very difficult to grow bright red rainbow jade. Why not give it a try?
