How to grow jade plant into an old tree

An old jade plant is a succulent plant that is older and larger in size. The leaves on the bottom consume more nutrients, and the branches become woody. If the leaves at the bottom of the jade plant are removed, causing it to grow too tall, the plant will slowly form an old stump over a long period of time.

The best time to dig up old stumps of the succulent plant Jade is once a year in spring or autumn. The value of an old stump of Jade ranges from a few yuan to dozens of yuan.

Cultivation method of old jade tree

When caring for old jade plant stumps, the soil is very important. Generally, the pot and soil should be changed every 1-2 years to allow the roots more space to absorb nutrients and grow rapidly.

The old Jade Plant is a sun-loving plant. In spring, autumn and winter, it must be placed on a well-lit windowsill or terrace. This will allow it to grow quickly, convert more nutrients into the plant, and accelerate the lignification of the trunk. Every time the soil in the pot is half dry, water it thoroughly.

Pruning of old jade tree

The old stump of Jade Plant can be pruned when the weather is clear, and the overgrown parts should be pruned down, and the overcrowded branches, overgrown branches, weak branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, dead branches, old branches and cross branches, as well as diseased and old leaves should be cut off. After each repotting, the diseased roots, dead roots, and rotten roots should be cut off one by one to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients. Some overgrown branches can be topped.

Use pots for old jade plant

It is best to use a deep pot for old Jade Plants. Shallow pots are not conducive to old growth and the plants will not be strong enough. In addition, shallow pots are matched with granular soil. As long as the ventilation is good, the succulent pot will dry out quickly, which can easily cause water shortage.

Jade dew old stump sprouts

If you want to make an old jade plant sprout side buds, you don't need to cut off its head. The easiest way is to slightly interfere with its growth direction and make the upright succulents fall over. While making the old jade plant fall over, remove the leaves below. If the light, water, and fertilizer are all reasonable, you can usually see buds protruding in about fifteen days.

Old Jade Dew Tree Grows Aerial Roots

When an old Jade Plant grows aerial roots, you can cut them off and then lower the air humidity to prevent it from growing aerial roots. The growth of aerial roots may also be caused by root rot. The rotten roots need to be removed in time and then replanted. It is also necessary to increase the light to prevent it from being in a dark environment for a long time.

Precautions for the maintenance of old jade plant

If you want to grow a good-looking old jade plant, you must first grow it big. That is, you must first grow good roots. If the root system is well developed, the base will naturally grow well, and the succulent can absorb nutrients better. Therefore, you must choose a large pot. The size of the pot can be enough. It does not need to be particularly large. Do not use a large pot to grow small seedlings.

If you want the old Jade Dew stump to grow thick and strong, you must apply more base fertilizer. Nitrogen and potassium fertilizers are of course indispensable. Before growing an old succulent stump, you need to fertilize it in time. Nitrogen and potassium fertilizers are the most suitable fertilizers for succulents because they can promote the growth of the root system and the growth of thick leaves of succulents, making them bigger and the stumps thicker.

Old jade plants like light. Sufficient sunlight can allow succulents to carry out photosynthesis better, and photosynthesis can allow old jade plants to synthesize more nutrients for their own growth and development.
