It is not difficult to grow jade dew well by mastering these key factors

（1）Provide suitable soil and flower pots

The soil for growing jade plants can be mainly peat, with appropriate amounts of perlite and vermiculite added. You can also use pre-prepared special soil for succulents or general nutrient soil.

Because its root system is relatively developed, it is best to use flower pots with a certain depth and good air permeability, such as thick black square pots and Vientiane pots, which are suitable for growth while also keeping the plant neat and orderly.

(2) Place in a well-ventilated diffuse light environment

Jade plant does not need full sunlight and should avoid excessive exposure to the sun, but it will grow tall if it does not see the sun all day. Therefore, it can be grown outdoors or given a certain amount of direct sunlight in seasons with soft light, but it should not be exposed to strong sunlight for a long time .

Especially after watering, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Otherwise, in addition to the leaf color becoming dull and slowly turning reddish brown, there is also the possibility of "window bursting", that is, the top of the fleshy leaves cracking and forming sun spots.

A well-ventilated environment with a certain amount of scattered sunlight is most conducive to growth. Not only are the leaves emerald green, but they also have a transparent feel.

(3) Humidity control is relatively appropriate

Jade plant requires a certain air humidity and its water demand is slightly more than that of ordinary succulents. If it is too dry, the leaves will shrivel and collapse. Therefore, as long as there is no water accumulation in the pot, you can water it when the soil in the pot is basically dry.

In order to keep the leaves crystal clear, when the air is dry or the leaves lose their green color, you can spray water on the leaves or keep them in a stuffy place to increase the humidity, so that the leaves can return to their emerald green and transparent state.

(4) Two special periods of focus

Like other succulents, Jade Plant is not resistant to extreme heat and severe cold. It needs to avoid direct sunlight in summer and be placed in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance. In winter, the soil in the pot should be kept dry and the ambient temperature should not be lower than 5℃ to allow it to survive the winter smoothly.

About fertilizing and repotting jade plant

Jade plants are mostly single plants in the seedling stage and grow relatively slowly. Some varieties can slowly grow side buds and grow in groups in the later stages, so they do not need to be repotted every year.

  In order to promote growth and grow more side buds, you can sprinkle a little slow-release fertilizer in the pot in spring and autumn, or add a little water-soluble fertilizer when watering.

When growth is restricted or nutrients in the potting soil are exhausted, the plant can be repotted. When repotting, the root pruning should not be too large, just clean up some dry, empty roots and rotten roots.
