Jade tree is a plant belonging to the Crassulaceae family. It has very thick branches and thick leaves. The key is that it is relatively drought-resistant, so it needs less watering, or basically no watering. How to grow jade plant to make it grow fast and tallWhen caring for the jade plant, we generally do not use fertilizer, which will cause the jade plant to grow slowly or even stop growing. So, how can we grow the jade plant so that it grows fast, strong and green? Soil preparationThe jade plant is highly adaptable to soil, but if you want it to grow fast, lush and green, you still have to provide it with suitable soil for growth . Moreover, the root system of Jade Tree is relatively developed, and it can grow very well with garden soil. However , the soil should be well-ventilated, well-watered, and contain certain nutrients . We can mix granular soil and nutrient soil in a 1:1 ratio, or we can mix river sand and leaf mold. But we must choose soil that is breathable, permeable and contains certain nutrients. If conditions permit, when preparing the soil for the jade plant, you can add more soft and breathable leaf mold, or add a small amount of sheep manure fertilizer. Such soil can make the pot soil soft, breathable, and rich in nutrients, which can make it grow quickly . On the contrary, if the pot soil is hard, poorly permeable, and lacks nutrients, its growth rate will be very slow. WateringIf Jade Plant wants to grow fast, it needs water. But we need to note that the whole plant of Jade Plant is full of water, so it is very drought-resistant and prefers a dry pot soil environment. So how to water it properly on a daily basis? It's very simple. Its roots are relatively thick, so we can let it dry slightly. The principle of watering is to water it thoroughly when the soil in the pot is completely dry . This will ensure that its roots do not dry out or rot, and it will grow quickly. But you can't water the jade plant too much, because too much water will make the jade plant grow too tall. If the drainage is not smooth, it will also cause root rot. FertilizationThe growth of jade tree cannot be separated from fertilizer, after all, jade tree is mainly a foliage plant. Although jade tree is tolerant to barrenness, if too little fertilizer is applied, the growth rate will naturally slow down. If you want it to grow branches and leaves quickly and become thicker, and want the branches to age quickly, try to choose a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen and not lacking in other elements . During general maintenance, it is necessary to supplement at least 2 to 3 times a month during the growing season , but you must remember to follow the principle of applying small amounts of fertilizer frequently, and the fertilizer concentration must not be too high. illuminationJade plant is a succulent plant that loves light . If it is kept in a dark environment for a long time, its branches will grow too long and its leaves will droop. Therefore, to maintain the jade tree all year round, it must be placed in a place with sufficient light . Even in summer, as long as it is avoided from being exposed to the sun at noon, it can be exposed to strong light at other times. If you grow it indoors, it is best to grow it on the south balcony or windowsill so that it can receive sunlight. If it cannot receive full-day sunlight, as long as it has about 6 hours of sunlight, it will be fine. But remember to rotate the pot after a period of time to allow the plant to receive light evenly. Trim regularlyJade tree is a plant that is very resistant to pruning. After each pruning, more new branches will sprout soon . If you don't prune it for a long time, the branches will grow more and more. And it will become very messy, without a good tree shape, affecting the overall viewing effect. Generally, the jade tree can be pruned twice a year , and the messy branches should be pruned in spring. Useless branches sprouting from the main trunk should be removed in time. Moreover, when the top branches are too dense, they can be thinned out. When new branches grow in autumn, they can be pruned again to shape them. This will keep the branches of the plant dense and compact, and make them grow taller and stronger, making them more ornamental . |
