Tip # 2: How to plant jade plants indoors

When learning how to plant jade plants indoors, you should follow the following basic and simple steps.

Step 1

Fill a small flowerpot (with a hole at the bottom for drainage) with well drained soil by about 50%. The best soil types are fertile and dry.

Next, add 25% organic compost to help promote rapid growth.

Step 2

Next, put the jade plants into the flowerpot. You want the root ball (where the root meets the plant) to be planted slightly below the top of the pot.

Cover the root ball with a mixture of soil and compost. Do not cover the leaves or needles of jade plants.

Step 3

Then, it is strongly recommended that you cover the dirt with small white pebbles.

This will help minimize evaporation and also help keep the heat in the pot, which is very useful if you live in a colder climate.

Step 4

Unlike other succulent plants, you can water jade plants.

Never let your jade plants sit in the water. Let it dry completely between watering.

The reason for not watering jade plants is that too much water will lead to root rot. This may stun or even kill your succulent plants.

Step 5

Emerald plants like at least 8-10 hours of sunlight to grow best.

To do this, you should put it in front of a window. If you live in the northern hemisphere, the window faces west or south. If you live in the southern hemisphere, you should put it in front of a window facing west or north.

If you do not believe that you will get enough sunlight or heat through the windows, you will need to buy growth lights and heat pads.

If your leaves begin to turn brown, they may get too much sunlight, and you will want to put your plants in the shade near evening.

It should also be noted that this succulent plant prefers heat above 50 degrees Fahrenheit to grow normally.

Step 7

Unlike other succulent plants, you should use a mixture of 20-20-20 to fertilize jade plants during the growing season.

Any of these fertilizers will be good.

Jade plants grow slowly, only 3 to 6 inches a year.

If you notice that your plant is growing faster than this, you should move it to a new container.

It is recommended that you move the jade plants to a container twice the current size.

Tip # 3: How to plant jade plants in the garden

When learning how to plant jade plants in your garden, you should follow these basic and simple steps.

Step 1

If you want to keep your jade plants in the garden for a whole year, you need to live in the hardy area of the USDA 10-11. If you live outside these areas, cold weather may kill your succulents.

In addition, you should ensure that the jade plants are planted in the garden, which will be kept at a temperature higher than the freezing point in winter.

Raised garden beds tend to stay juicy warmer in winter than traditional gardens.
