Glass Jade is a perennial herb of the Impatiens family. It is famous for its unique translucent main stem and tender green branches and leaves. Its flowers are rich in color and enchanting in shape. It is highly ornamental and is loved by many gardening enthusiasts. However, for beginners, successfully growing and maintaining glass jade can be challenging. Let’s learn how to grow glass jade to make it grow more vigorously. 1. Soil selection Glass jade does not have high requirements for soil, but it needs good air permeability. You can prepare the soil yourself. The recommended ratio is 4 parts garden soil, 1 part river sand, and 2 parts sawdust. You can also add other substances in appropriate amounts to enhance the nutrients and drainage of the soil. 2. Lighting requirements Glass Jade likes sunshine and needs sufficient sunlight to promote photosynthesis and flower bud differentiation. It can receive full sunlight in spring, autumn and winter, but needs appropriate shade in summer to avoid strong direct sunlight. 3. Watering tips Water sparingly every four days in spring and fall, increase frequency to once a day in summer, and reduce to once a week in winter, adjusting according to soil moisture. 4. Fertilization management Glass Jade likes fertilizer and needs regular top dressing during its growth period. Decomposed organic fertilizer can be added to the base fertilizer, decomposed cake fertilizer water can be applied once a week during the growth period, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied during the flowering period. 5. Notes Temperature management: Glass Jade is native to the tropics and is not cold-resistant. It needs to be kept indoors and heated in winter. Pruning: Prune promptly after flowering to remove dead flowers and diseased branches to promote the growth of new buds. Changing the soil: It is recommended to change the soil every two years to avoid soil compaction and maintain nutrient supply . Moisturizing: Spray water regularly to keep the air moist and prevent the leaves from drying out. In short, for novice flower lovers, they only need to carefully observe the growth of the plant and adjust the maintenance strategy in time to make the glass jade grow more and more vigorously.
