Jade plant, a succulent plant belonging to the Crassulaceae family, is loved by many flower lovers for its thick leaves and sturdy trunks. However, some friends have trouble growing it. Let's learn how to grow Jade plant so that it blooms more vigorously. 1. Flowerpot selection When caring for jade plants, choosing the right flowerpot is crucial. Low pots are ideal because they help avoid water retention. Flower pots with good air permeability, such as Qingshan pots, clay pots or ceramic pots, are good choices. In terms of soil selection, jade plant is not very demanding on the soil, but it should be ensured that the soil has good air permeability and water permeability. Half of the soil can be made of river sand or coal slag to enhance air permeability and water permeability, and the other half can be made of garden soil, peat soil or leaf mold. 2. Lighting conditions During the maintenance process, light is the key. Jade plant is a light-loving plant, so make sure it receives plenty of light. During the high temperatures in summer, since Jade Plant belongs to the Crassulaceae family, it will enter a dormant state. At this time, appropriate shade should be provided, reducing light by 50% to 70%. In other seasons, the jade plant should be placed in a place with the most sunlight. 3. Reasonable watering The trunk of jade plant is thick and its leaves are thick, so it does not require much water. However, during the growing season, an adequate water supply must be ensured. The principle of watering is to water thoroughly when the soil in the pot is completely dry. During the dormant season, watering should be minimized or avoided. 4. Scientific fertilization During the growing season, fertilizer supply should also be adequate. Jade plant is primarily a foliage plant, but if properly cared for, it can also bloom. Fertilizers should be multi-element or high-nitrogen types to promote leaf growth. Autumn is the flowering period of jade plant. At this time, fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium should be used to promote flowering. The frequency of fertilization should be adjusted according to the growth rate of the plant, generally 1 to 2 times a month is sufficient. 5. Maintain the environment Ventilation is another important aspect of jade plant care. Jade plants should be placed in a well-ventilated place to avoid the occurrence of diseases and pests. The temperature of the maintenance environment should not be lower than 5 degrees to ensure the healthy growth of the plants. In short, the key to caring for jade plants is to choose suitable flower pots and soil, ensure sufficient light, reasonably control watering and fertilization, and maintain good ventilation conditions.
