Below we list the  necessary care so that the jade tree lasts for years  .

Light

The ideal location for the Jade tree is near a window or outdoors. For it to survive, it is important not to leave it exposed to direct sunlight, especially during the hottest hours of the day.

Irrigation

The Jade tree needs little water. Being a succulent plant, it can conserve water within its leaves and branches.

You can water with a spray bottle. During the cold months you can water it every 15 days, during the summer once a week.

Topsoil Layer

The Jade tree needs a porous soil with great drainage capacity to avoid water stagnation.

This type of soil must be enriched with worm castings, stones and perlite. It is important to pay twice a year, in spring and summer.

Pruning

Pruning the jade tree must be frequent so that the plant grows healthy and strong. Use disinfected scissors to take cuttings and reproduce the plant.

Reproduction

To reproduce a Jade tree, simply cut a branch and place it directly on the ground. It will generate roots and, consequently, a new plant.
