Want a thriving jade plant? These succulents, known for bringing good luck, are relatively easy to care for, but understanding their needs is key.
**Light:** Jade plants crave bright, indirect light. A sunny windowsill is ideal. Insufficient light can cause leggy growth. Rotate your plant regularly for even exposure.
**Watering:** Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common jade plant killer! During the dormant season (winter), water even less frequently.
**Soil:** Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. This prevents root rot.
**Temperature:** Jade plants prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect them from frost.
**Fertilizing:** Feed your jade plant sparingly during the growing season (spring/summer) with a diluted balanced fertilizer.
With a little love and attention, your jade plant will flourish for years to come!
