How To Take Care Of A Tiny Jade Plant?

Jade plants are low-maintenance plants that require regular watering, especially in moderate climates. A good rule of thumb is to water them every 2-3 weeks, primarily indoors. In spring and summer, watering should be done every 10-14 days, depending on the temperature. If indoor conditions are affected by hot and dry summers, watering should be done every 2 to 3 weeks.

There are two methods to water a jade plant efficiently: soak and dry method or self-watering systems. Jade plants need to be watered deeply, not a bit today and a bit tomorrow, but thoroughly until it starts to seep out from the drainage holes. Avoid getting the foliage wet (overhead watering). The exact amount depends on factors like size and location, but they should dry completely between waterings.

A moisture meter can help you determine the exact amount of water needed. Watering should only occur once the soil is completely dry, and check the soil around the roots to ensure it is dry. Jade plants need heavy watering when they do get it, so keep watering until water runs rapidly from the pot’s drainage holes.

Jade plants are succulents, so they don’t do well in constantly moist soil. To keep the soil moist, let the top 1 to 2 inches of soil dry out between waterings. Indoors, watering should be done once every 2 to 3 weeks, but check regularly.

Watering jade plants should be done carefully to avoid drowning them, and irrigation should be done when at least the top inch of the soil is dry.
