Jade can be sown in spring and autumn. The substrate can be prepared by mixing vermiculite, leaf mold or peat soil. It should be disinfected in advance and covered with glass after sowing. Seedlings will usually emerge in 20 days, after which the glass can be removed. Ventilate frequently, keep the soil moist, and pay attention to transplanting the seedlings.

Generally speaking, the Jade Plant needs to be watered every 7-10 days. When watering, be sure to water the soil thoroughly, but do not allow water to accumulate in the soil. In winter, watering should be slightly reduced and water should be replenished every 15 days.

The soil for the jade plant needs to be changed every year or so, because its roots will produce acidic secretions, making the soil acidic. When changing the soil, you can cut off the old roots on the plant, which can make it grow better.
