How often should I water my jade tree?

Spring is the growing season of jade plant, and it needs to be watered once every 2-3 days. Watering should be strictly controlled during the hot summer, and it is only necessary to water once every half a month. After autumn, watering should be gradually reduced. Watering should be reduced in winter, and the potting soil should be slightly dry. When watering, river water, lake water and well water are the best.

Jade tree watering method

1. Observe the soil in the pot : If the upper layer of the soil of the jade plant is already dry, you can water it, and water it thoroughly at one time. If it is not dry, do not water it. You can water it every 2 to 3 days. Be careful to avoid water accumulation when watering.

2. Watering principles : It is best to water the jade plant according to the principles of "water when dry" and "don't water if it's not dry, and water thoroughly if you do." However, water generally evaporates faster in summer, so we generally need to water it once every two days or so. The timing of watering can be determined based on the dryness or wetness of the soil in the pot.

Precautions for watering jade trees

1. Do not water too much : Jade plant likes relatively dry soil, so do not water it too much, especially in summer, when the jade plant will enter a dormant state, so the number and amount of watering should be strictly controlled.

2. Reduce the amount of watering in winter : When autumn comes, gradually reduce watering according to weather changes. You must water less in winter, but it does not mean no watering. You can water once when the soil is dry.
