How to grow Jade Butterfly so that it can bloom out of the pot?

Jade butterfly is a relatively common succulent plant that many people grow. However, most people find it difficult to grow and keep it in good condition. So how can you grow Jade Butterfly so that it will bloom out of the pot? Let’s learn more about it below.

1. Pot soil selection

When raising jade butterflies, choosing the potting soil is very important. Jade butterfly likes flower pots that are breathable and water-permeable. When planting jade butterfly pots, try to choose breathable and water-permeable ceramic pots, purple clay pots, clay pots, etc., with water holes at the bottom of the pot. You can mix peat soil and granular soil. If the jade butterfly is a young plant, the proportion of peat soil should be higher. If the jade butterfly is a large plant or an old stump, the proportion of granular soil should be slightly more.

2. Reasonable watering

When raising Jade Butterfly, you must control the water, because it is actually a drought-resistant succulent variety that is afraid of moisture. Moist soil is prone to black rot, especially in the hot summer. When watering the Jade Butterfly, strictly follow the principle of watering thoroughly when the soil is dry. Therefore, before watering each time, you must judge whether the soil in the pot is dry. If the soil in the pot is moist, watering can be delayed for a few days. If the soil is well watered, just water it in time. In summer, the Jade Butterfly will enter a dormant state, so choose to give it a small amount of water in the evening.

3. Environmental ventilation

The jade butterfly likes a ventilated environment. If the environment is poorly ventilated and stuffy, the jade butterfly needs to be moved to a ventilated place, otherwise it will easily get sick. Especially in summer, it is important to keep the environment well ventilated. In addition to keeping the environment ventilated in summer, it should also be well ventilated in other seasons.

4. Provide enough light

Jade butterfly is a succulent plant that likes sunlight very much. It is necessary to sunbathe reasonably according to the different light intensities in different seasons. Spring, late autumn and early winter are the peak growth seasons for Jade Butterflies. At the same time, the temperature is suitable and the light is soft. At this time, the Jade Butterflies can receive more than 5 hours of sunshine every day. Of course, it is best to receive sunlight throughout the day. In summer, you cannot be exposed directly to strong sunlight, as you may get sunburned easily.

5. Supplement nutrients

The nutrients for jade butterflies can generally be provided by fertile soil. It is necessary to change the soil regularly or add fertile soil, and use fertilizers to supplement nutrients. Organic fertilizer liquid or compound fertilizer can be used to help its growth. Fertilize according to the principle of applying thin fertilizers frequently. Overfertilization can easily lead to fertilizer damage and affect the growth of the plant. Common liquid fertilizers can be organic liquid fertilizers or homemade fertilizer cake water. When using fertilizer cake water, it must be fully decomposed and then diluted with water.

6. Pay attention to the temperature

It is recommended that the temperature for normal growth of Jade Butterfly be controlled above 10℃ and below 35℃. If it is lower than the minimum temperature, it may cause frost damage, and if it is higher than the maximum temperature, it may cause the leaves to become soft, burned and dry. In winter, be sure to place it in a warm place indoors, and in summer, keep it in a relatively cool environment, otherwise it will fail to survive the summer.

7. Cut off the top

The Jade Butterfly Plant has a very strong ability to produce side buds and grows in groups easily, so you don’t have to worry about not producing side buds when raising the Jade Butterfly Plant. Spring and autumn are the peak growth seasons for Jade Butterfly, and also the seasons when Jade Butterfly sprouts side buds. During this period, you only need to ensure sufficient nutrients and light. Of course, if the Jade Butterfly does not produce side buds, you can choose to pinch the core or cut off the top in spring and autumn, which can effectively promote the growth of new side buds.

That’s it
