The correct way to grow jade tree

The jade tree, with its graceful posture and strong adaptability, is regarded as a symbol of good luck and wealth. Growing jade plants at home not only beautifies the environment, but also means good luck. Many people choose to grow jade plants at home, not only because jade plants are easy to maintain and have low environmental requirements, but also because sufficient sunlight can promote their better growth. However, some flower lovers find that jade plants grow slowly despite careful care, which is often caused by improper maintenance methods. Let’s learn the correct way to grow jade plant.

1. Correct maintenance strategy

1. Choose the right flower pot

Choose flower pots with good air permeability, such as ceramic pots or clay pots, and avoid using plastic flower pots to prevent moisture accumulation and affect root breathing.

2. Get more sun

Make sure the jade plant receives at least 6 hours of sunlight every day, especially on sunny days, it should be placed near a window to enjoy plenty of sunlight.

3. Apply more fertilizer

Reasonable fertilization is the key to promoting the growth of jade plants. Use base fertilizer and organic fertilizer to ensure that the plants are in full contact with the soil and maximize the effectiveness of the fertilizer .

4. Water less

Although jade plant is drought-tolerant, it does not mean that it does not need water. Water in time according to soil moisture to avoid over- or under-watering.

2. Specific maintenance methods

Flower pot selection: Choose a flower pot with ventilation holes at the bottom to ensure that the soil drains well and prevent water accumulation around the roots.

Environmental temperature: Jade plant likes warmth and humidity, and the warm and humid environment in the south is more suitable for its growth. In northern regions, it can be grown indoors to add greenery to the home.

Light management: Make sure the jade plant receives adequate sunlight, especially during the spring and summer when it is growing vigorously.

Repotting and soil: As the jade plant grows, regularly replace it with a larger pot to maintain soil air permeability and appropriate pH.

Pruning and maintenance: Prune branches in time to promote the growth of new branches. At the same time, be careful not to let the branches touch the ground to avoid rot.

In summary, the common misunderstanding is that because jade plant is drought-resistant, people mistakenly believe that it does not need frequent watering, causing the jade plant to gradually wither due to lack of water. The key to making the jade plant thrive and bloom profusely is the correct maintenance method.
