How to plant the newly bought jade plant

1. Check and prune

Before potting the newly bought jade plant, you need to check it for diseases and pests. If any are found, you need to treat it early to eliminate the influence and avoid problems in later growth. Comb the root system and trim the old and rotten roots underneath appropriately.

2. Prepare the potting soil

Jade dew cannot withstand waterlogging, so the material of the flowerpot needs to be breathable, with drainage holes at the bottom to promote the normal outflow of water. The size should be matched with the plant. Smaller plants require small pots, and large plants use large pots. The soil can be made of leaf mold mixed with sand, which can ensure air permeability and drainage, and ensure the normal growth of the plants.

3. Planting in pots

Choose a time when the sun is not too strong, avoid direct sunlight, spread a layer of expanded clay at the bottom of the pot to allow water to flow through, put the prepared soil in, then straighten the plant and plant it in the pot, ensuring that the roots can stretch out, fill in the remaining soil, press gently to make it firm, and top with a layer of medical stone.

4. Post-maintenance

Place the planted jade plant in a place with scattered light, do not water it yet, wait until the roots grow out after 1-2 weeks, then you can water it and maintain it normally.
