In fact,  if your plant is at room temperature, 15°C maximum, these could appear as early as November . However, to achieve this result, it is necessary to maintain your plant well.

How to properly care for a jade tree?

If you want to grow your jade tree in the ground, you should plant it in fairly mineral soil, well drained and, if possible, on a slope so that the water does not stagnate. It is advisable to plant it under a tree to protect it from the cold and rain in winter. If you are growing a jade tree in a container, make sure it is clay and contains a mixture of potting soil and drainage materials . For optimal growth, place a layer of clay pebbles in the bottom of the pot so that the substrate is well drained.

• Properly Water and Fertilize Your Jade Tree

During the growth period, it is advisable to water the plant at least once a week. You can also add some fertilizer once a month in the summer. When autumn arrives, it is advisable to gradually suspend all types of watering and not resume it until mid-April. Excessive watering could be fatal for the plant, its branches could become soft and blackish. In this case, do not hesitate to remove the damaged parts and cut the stems that are still viable. The jade tree also feeds on light, so it is important to expose it to sunlight from May to September. In fact, it is a small shrub that appreciates strong light. Finally, you may consider repotting your plant when it starts to get cramped. It is best to carry out this operation, using potting soil and sand.

If the maintenance of the jade tree seems quite easy, it is still necessary to give it  constant attention .

Now you know that patience is needed for your jade tree to bloom properly. Don’t hesitate to keep it well so that it can eventually embalm your home with its sweet fragrance.
