How to grow jade dew to make it plump

1. Lighting

Because it is sensitive to light, if there is too much light, its leaves will turn reddish-brown, and sometimes they may be burned, leaving marks. If it is kept in a cool place for a long time, the leaves may become loose and thin. At this time, you can only wait for the leaves to fall off and new ones to grow. If you want it to grow full, you still have to let it grow in semi-shade. You can add a shade net between May and September, and remove it from October to April of the following year.

2. Soil

It prefers loose and well-drained soil, which can generally be made of leaf mold, coarse sand and vermiculite. In addition, you can also use artificial ones, but you need to add peat into it.

3. Watering

Watering must be controlled well. Generally, the soil should not be left unwatered until it is dry, and once watered, it should be watered thoroughly. Also, you cannot let it accumulate water, let alone get exposed to rain, otherwise the roots will rot. And if you don't water it for a long time, it will become shriveled.

Therefore, we can spray some water around it, or we can cut some transparent bottles to cover it and keep it in a humid environment, so that the leaves will be fuller. But you still have to remove the bottle in the summer, otherwise it may be too stuffy and cause it to die.

4. Fertilization

Fertilizing is another way to keep it full. You can apply some compound fertilizer to it when it is growing vigorously, but if it is growing weakly, you don’t need to do so. There is no need to apply fertilizer during the dormant period. The general time for fertilization is in the morning and evening.

5. Repotting

If it is shriveled and not growing, it is likely that the roots are rotten and you need to repot it. The specific operation is to cut off the aging roots and those that are too long, leaving only the white thick roots. Then plant it in soil, but remember to spray water frequently.
