How to water and fertilize Jade Plant (What fertilizer can make Jade Plant bloom easily)

Jade Plant, also known as "Purslane Tree", is a perennial evergreen succulent shrub belonging to the genus Portulacaceae.

The exquisite and juicy leaves, the thick and fleshy stems, the leaves turn purple-red under the sunlight, and the flower name symbolizes wealth and good fortune, making it one of the more common potted plants in our lives.

So how should we fertilize and water the Jade Plant to make it grow more vigorously and bloom more easily?

Reasonable fertilization promotes growth and makes flowering easier

The Jade Plant is native to South Africa, where the soil is relatively fertile. After growing in this nutrient-rich soil environment for a long time, it has become accustomed to it.

If the potted plants have not been maintained with fertilization, and the nutritional area of ​​the potted plants is limited, the plants will grow poorly over time, such as thinning leaves, thin branches, etc. In severe cases, they will be susceptible to diseases.

In order to promote the growth of Jade Plant, it is necessary to fertilize and maintain it according to its growth habits, so that you can enjoy plants with thick stems and leaves. How to fertilize and maintain it?

First, the suitable temperature for the growth of Jade Plant is between 15 and 28 degrees Celsius. If it is too low or too low, it will easily enter a dormant state. For example, in summer and winter, no fertilization or maintenance can be carried out.

The second is to choose spring and autumn for fertilization and maintenance, use nutrient-rich cake fertilizer water, and after diluting it with clean water, do it once every 25 days or so.

Proper watering makes it grow more vigorously

The area where the Jade Plant originates is relatively arid, and since its stems store a large amount of water, it particularly hates overly wet soil or waterlogging.

If the soil is not dry every time you water the plant, it will become too wet or waterlogged over time, which will hinder the normal breathing of the roots, rot the root tissue, and eventually cause the plant to wither and die.

Therefore, when watering the Jade Plant, you must wait until the soil is dry. It is best if the soil is dry more than three centimeters.

If you want to judge whether the soil is dry, it is recommended that you insert a bamboo stick, pull it out and water it when it is dry, otherwise you still need to wait. In addition, when using tap water, it is best to let it stand for about 48 hours to prevent the water quality from causing soil compaction.
