How to grow glass jade

Cutting propagation

First of all, you need to prepare a good culture medium for cuttings, which should be sterilized and disinfected. You can also use medium-coarse river sand. Be sure to clean it before use to prevent bacteria. Be careful not to use gravel with too high salinity. Early spring and late autumn are the peak growth seasons for glass jade. Cut the stems, wait until the cut ends are dry, then insert them into the substrate and spray them with a little water. As long as the substrate has suitable humidity, it will take root. When the temperature is high, the cuttings are easy to rot, so it is best not to use cuttings.

Basin

When potting, you can first place a certain amount of substrate at the bottom of the pot to filter water. You should also sprinkle organic fertilizer on the substrate with a thickness of about 1 to 2 centimeters, and then cover it with a layer of substrate with the same thickness. Then put the plants in, and the fertilizer cannot directly touch the roots of the plants to prevent root burn and root damage. The soil for growing glass jade can be prepared by mixing garden soil, sawdust and river sand in appropriate proportions. After completion, replenish water accordingly, make sure to water it thoroughly, and place it in a cool place for maintenance for a week.

Humidity Management

Glass likes dryness and is very vulnerable to germs in an overly humid environment. The most suitable humidity is between 40% and 60%.

Temperature Management

Glass Jade is afraid of high temperatures. It can grow normally at temperatures around 15 to 30 degrees, but will enter a dormant state when the temperature exceeds 33 degrees. The room temperature should be controlled above 10 degrees in winter, and the plants should never be frozen due to low temperature.

Lighting Management

In summer, in order to make the leaves more colorful, they can be shaded. Direct sunlight can be exposed to the plants in spring and autumn to help them absorb nutrients better. Light intake is also needed in winter to ensure better growth of the plants.
