I can never tell when my jades need water. Love the tip about bending the leaves! Thanks!
It has never steered me wrong! Thanks for watching.
How often should I water my Jade cutting?
Last year I received a 4 year old jade from my stepmom, it has now grown twice as big in my care, thanks to your videos on jade care! When I got it, I was told jades are slow growers, but mine seems to be on steroids. (No worries, I don’t actually give it steroids😂) Thank you for all of your super helpful videos!!
That is so awesome! You are definitely doing something right!!!
Why is your second jade plant leaves much bigger than the first one ? Is it of different specie ? Mine has huge leaves and darker green.
Just found this video and I really want to thank you for showing HOW MUCH water you give your jades! Most videos just show when and how often, but amount is rarely given. Mine was really growth stunted and it turns out I wasn't giving it nearly enough water as it needed. I think you saved my jade with this video ❤❤
I am glad that video has helped! I hope you stick around for more videos!
Plants are quickly becoming my new interest and I want to make a little jade plant my first plant! This is my research 💪
Great first plant choice!
Your jade plants look absolutely beautiful and healthy. Thanks so much for the amazing tips! I hope my jade plants will turn out to be growing and looking as great as yours. :)
Thanks for watching Rell!
Excellent tips to determining if our jade plant and succulents are in need of water besides touching the soil. Love also the tip on summer and winter watering. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Jean!
Yay my favourite jade videos, loved watching this 😊
Thanks Holly. I plan on making a few more soon. Anything specific you'd like to see in one?
Great content as always! Super useful. Thanks!
Thanks so much Tara!!!
I found you when I was looking for info to hard prune my 17 year old mother plant.💕. She was all floppy,like the picture that you inserted. I never had pruned her but, had several props from her, just in case😁. I pruned her back hard...2 aluminum lasagna pans worth!😱 She LOVED IT and I have loved watching her grow💓.I love the puff of several growths on the ends of thicker branches that were cut🥰. Thank you for your videos 💞
This is awesome to hear. I wish you could send pictures on TH-cam. If you have Instagram then lease send me those pictures!
😂 😂 😂
I have no problem with other succulents, only with this one. I was SO searching for answers! Thank you!!
I hope this video helped you out.
@@EverythingPlants it did, thank you.
Thanks brother I'm excited to see if I can revive mine, and if not then give it another try!
This was super helpful. I love my baby jade plant I just haven’t known really proper watering
Glad it was helpful!
I moved some plants around this summer and, knowing it can cope with a bit of neglect, I put my jade in a sunny but hard to reach area. Of course I completely forgot to water it for over 3 months!
The leaves had started to wrinkle pretty badly so I left it to soak for a day with the pot almost fully immersed in water. Within two weeks it was almost back to its old self, didn't even drop a leaf!
They are so pretty and tough as nails 💪
WOW!!! Three months and no water....just to bounce right back is amazing.
@@EverythingPlants I was so surprised! However I think it definitely suffered from it because it hasn't shown any growth or new leaves since then. Hopefully a little winter sleep will help it recover completely and I'll get new growth next year.
Super resilient to my neglect but not something I'd recommend trying on yours! 😉😂
I have a cute little gollum jade, it's about 5 years old, still fairly small, as I'm learning as I go, but I've done a few small successful propagations off of its leaves that have been knocked off, as well as a clipping I took. Super fun to see grow!
I agree that they are fun to grow and learn from.....Thanks for the comment Ceilidh!
New to the plant thing. Thankyou for this video, it was very helpful.
I hope you check back for more!
Loved the video. Very helpful.🙂
Thanks so much Karen!
YES... I Have A Jade Plant, Its Outside On My Small Front Porch. I DO Plan On Giving IT Some TLC Today. I'm Thinking This Video Will Inspire ME To Also Start Some Propagations From HIM... HE'S Been Quite A Plant Survivor... I KNOW I'd LOVE A Jade Bush!!!
Good luck with your pruning. I plan on making a couple more jade videos soon. I want to do a comparison of water and soil propagations as I've never done succulent water propagation before. Also a pruning in winter video. Thanks again for watching!
Great video I like how you explain what to look for
Thanks so much!
I have this jade plant too and they are still small though. Thanks for sharing your tips helpful information my friend
Good luck with your plant! They are so beautiful.
Information is very useful👍Thanks
Thanks for watching! I hope you stick around for more videos!
Your Jaden looks so beautiful 😍 . Thank s for the tips I will repot my Jaden a day less water this winter 😇
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing👍I pruned a stem to promote branching after watching one of your other videos, and started a new baby jade…it’s adorable 🪴
I love hearing stuff like this! Nice work and thanks for sharing!
When it's dark, a generous misty spray all over the leaves and trunk helps.
your jade plant is stunning
Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing 💕 it
Thanks Hyasmin for watching!!!
Great tip on bending the leaves. I used to water my plants with water straight from the tap. I now let the water sit in a 1/2 gallon old plastic orange juice container without the top on between waterings. It lets the chlorine escape into the air and the plants seem to like it better. I read somewhere that jade plants are sensitive to chlorine. Seems to work for me.
Thanks for watching Fred. Good tip on letting the water sit before using it for your jades 👍
The minerals in the water will show on the Jade leaves as little white dots that can be wiped off. They are definitely sensitive.
Can you mist your jade plants? Is jade plants prone to meanly bugs on leave? How to avoid that?
@@patrician329 I never misted my jade plants. Not sure that is a good thing to do to a succulent. I never had bugs on the leaves either so I can't help with that. Sorry.
As a SoCal resident I have a “million”different types of succulents in my garden that are thriving. But I still watched your video. Good advice. 👏🏼
Thanks! Any other tips that I have missed? I am so jealous you get to keep these outside year round.
@@EverythingPlants Nope! I think you covered the bases. Wish I could share all my varieties. So much color. 😊
I love your jade plants. Mine is slow to mature but I’ve had it almost two years and surely but slowly growing.
An old saying I heard once...first year they sleep, second year they creep and the third year they leap.
Ok! I’ll be patient!
@@suedub5156 hahaha you only have one more year before it explodes
I read where the jade plant is a slow growing plant. I too was expecting to see significant growth at a faster pace, but although "slow" I can see growth of new stems with new leaves.I especially like that its effortless to maintain...
@@zannegoldwire2788 they are slow when they are young plants. I'd say until year 3 and then when you look back at a picture you will really notice how much it did grow. Id say once it begins to establish a thicker woody stem.
Great tips! I couldn't grow jade though i've tried a few times already. 😅
Don't give up. There are such beautiful plants. Where do you think you went wrong with your plant?

Watching fr the philippines😍
Hello Dolores! Thank you watching my videos and welcome to the channel!
Glad I this popped up in my feed have a couple of jade plants and I really enjoyed watching them flourish, years ago my husband bought me a large one and I over water it☹️
Thanks for watching Sandra! Did that large one survive being over watered?
@@EverythingPlants no it died my husband said the roots were overwatered
@@EverythingPlantsmushy
Thank you for this video I was worried about mine but now I can go water it and wait another month. It needs new soil because its not draining good at all.
Watering depends on your climate, if they are indoors/outdoors etc. Message anytime if you have questions. Thanks for watching!
My jade plant give flower twice a year thick and nice green shiny leaves loves sunny bright corner
That is so awesome that it flowers....is your plant indoors? I have yet to have flowers on mine
So useful and informative video uploaded 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Greetings from India ❤❤🙏🙏
Thanks for watching and hello from Canada 🇨🇦!
helo I just want to say that i have one jade about 25 years and i prune a plant like a tree . it is so beautiful and in the winter with a little white flowers , big hug from Croatia.
Omg....I have never had mine flower yet. I bet it is beautiful. Thanks for sharing and a bug hug from Canada 🇨🇦!
@@EverythingPlants hi i think that secret is my jade is out in fool sun almost all year only in the winther i bring my plants in the veranda with big Windows no heet by by
That is amazing
Great video, and super helpful tips. Is your jade bush one singular plant or multiple jade plants potted together?
The bush one is multiple seperate stems in one pot. Thanks for watching Olivia!
Nice video
Thanks!!!
This video randomly appeared in my feed today, TH-cam must somehow have known I've been trying to identify a succulent I rescued from the office that had been left behind by a colleague when she changed jobs. Now I know it's a jade plant!
Yes and they are amazing plants! I have many more Jade and plant videos if you are interested in sticking around the channel!
The leaf bending tip is really helpful! What if a few of the top leaves are more bendy but the base/middle ones are still sturdy? Should I wait for majority of the leaves to be bendy to water?
Once I start to feel a few that are easy to bend and the soil is dry then I will give it some water.....whether that is some or all of the leaves. As long as the soil is dry then you'd be safe to water again.
I love those plants. Everytime I get one the leaves fall off. I try keeping it dry before I water it and they still drop off No matter what I do.
The only thing I can think of is maybe it isn't getting enough light.... 🤔
Ice cold Winnipeg guy here. I pretty much completed my journey of tropical plants, so now I’ve been moving on to cacti and succulents. Do you fertilize your jade every watering in the summer or year round?
Most of my plants that are on the east side of my house are under grow lights but overall it’s it feels tropical everywhere. My tropicals seem to have consistent growth but I have no experience with cacti or succulents.
Awesome channel!
Hello from Regina! Great choice of plants....I fertilize when the plant is growing. My basement jade (under grow lights) gets fertilizer year round (about once a month) because of the consistent light. My jades/cacti under natural light will start coming out of winter dormancy (which typically has slow or no growth) and I'll begin a diluted dose of fertilizer. One cactus already has a section of new growth so I guess it's saying that it is ready! Does that answer your question??? Thanks for watching this video!
@@EverythingPlants yes sorry for late reply didn’t see the notification. Yes it helped very much . My Tropicals grow like crazy but jades and succulents are new to me.
I’m glad I purchased extra grow lights before the winter as it was unusually warm and cloudy. Probably the same there I’m guessing .
Thanks for the tips! The jade plant I got for my wife as a wedding gift isn’t doing well and I’d really like to rescue it 🛟
Feel free to send me a picture to my Instagram and I could have a look and see if I can help
@@EverythingPlants Thank you! I Will do that🫶🏻
And what is the best pot,the hard pot or the one's like what they comes in😊
I started an experiment last year, growing jade in leca. They have done incredibly well much to my surprise. Always has new growth, no root rot. Just very happy plants and have taken so many propagations and now have way more jade in my house than I want 😅. Still, nothing compared to the big jade in this video which is GORGEOUS.
I will say with the leca, I don't keep a reservoir for them - I water them like I would soil plants using water with fertiliser, and after an hour I ditch the water in the bottom. I do this once a week.
Jon, I am in the same boat as you with too many Jades....I've given a ton away and sold a lot of my other jades in the last year. I think I'm down to 6....these ones have sentimental value to me.
Thanks for sharing your experience with leca. I find that so interesting and well now probably try it for myself, so thanks hahaha
💚💚
Thanks Kendra!
How do encourage my jade to grow a bigger thicker trunk ?? Love this video!!!!
Here is that exact video. Basically with pruning and time (like a couple years lol). Placing the plant outside in the summer with the heat also helps this plant grow more. Just don't throw it in full sun, but slowly acclimate it to a brighter area.

This is awesome !!!! Thank you so much !!! 🙌🏼☺️
Hi Jeff, could you do a vid on cleaning those Jade plants, if you do?
Of course!
Bud should I put my Jade plant in another pot now,,i buy them a Saturday or two ago right now the soil in the two pots are dry😊
Loving your videos! I have a dwarf jade plant in a small pot w/succulent soil growing pretty rapidly right now. Since the pot is so small, I can put my finger basically to the bottom and feel that it's bone dry and been a week since last watering. The established leaves, however, are totally firm, although the very young ones are a bit more tender. Based on your experience, should I not water even though the soil is basically sand at this point? Thanks very much!
How did it go?
Nice
Thanks
@@EverythingPlants u got it
Would self watering pots work for jades?
Good video will follow the instructions, I think I have been over watering.
That is a mistake WE ALL HAVE DONE when owning succulents.
Hello & thanks for this video. How long does it take for Jade leaves leaves that are a little shrivelled to come back to life after watering ? Thanks.
🪴
It can take quite a while....you obviously shouldn't let them get shriveled, but it could take a couple weeks or may even lose those leaves
What size pots are next for the two nursery pots 🤗
Thank you for the very interesting video! I noticed that the first Jade is in a small pot: is it by choice? Thank you!
Ya. The larger the pot you have the more soil and ultiamtely the longer the soil stays wet for. Jades don't tolerate wet soil for very long, but need alot of water when you do water. This particular one could be repotted and I will probably do so in the spring because it is getting pretty top heavy and I want a sturdier pot lol. Jades are very popular in the bonsai community for their small pots and shallow root system.
@@EverythingPlants I see! Very good to know. Thank you for answering!
Hi! Thanks for this video, my jade plant needed watering for sure! There’s something that’s worrying me though, I don’t know if this makes sense but I feel like it’s not holding any water! I mean I last watered it 2 weeks ago, and it’s been a bit extra hot in Berlin since then so I checked again today and the leaves were flexible like you showed. Isn’t this too soon? Also even post watering, I haven’t really seen the leaves become puffed and juicy like your leaves look! What do you think might be the problem? I watered it thoroughly until the water drained down (which happened super fast) the leaves just always look too thin to me 😔
There might be a couple things wrong. Is your inside or outside? I have taken my jades outside a couple times and there have been times that I would have to water every couple days...the dry heat here in Canada just sucks the moisture right out. That why using the soil and leaf method is so important. It might take a day or two before the leaves feel plump again.
The most likely cause is that it probably needs fresh soil or even a slightly larger pot if it is root bound. The roots might not be able to get the water if the soil is rock hard. If you can take it out of the pot and have a peek. I hope this helps and feel free to send a picture to my instagram.
👍❤❤❤
Thanks
Here is a tip for watering ALL house plants.........If you have an aquarium ..... when you do a water change, use the water for your plants. There is a lot of goodness in that water - rather than tap water...
Hope you agree. My plants are thriving on it.....Thanks for the upload.
Yes, I completely agree. Although I have never done this I have heard people rave about this type of watering method. Thanks Rosemary!
👍🏽💚!
Thanks Mary!
One of my stems has soft leaves. I checked for root rot and it appears to be fine. I've watered every 2 weeks and no progress. How do I fix?
😊 🙏
Thanks Somjit!
for me just soaking the soil and then forgetting about it for a week or two works just fine lol
Nice!
How do you know if you have a bush or tree type jade? Or is it just a matter of training them to grow one way over the other?
The bush version is just a bunch of individual cuttings that I placed into one pot. I think it looks pretty neat with all those stems in one pot.
Hello what if your leaves are flat and the soil is wet ? Help
Thanks for this important video. Could you please tell me the name of a good soil for jade plants. Thanks
Here is the type I'd recommend. This is a link to my Amazon 🇨🇦 site.

I have numerous Jades..how do I get it to grow to be a tree? Mine stay little or leggy. No stout trunks??? Tkx. Mine stay out all summer. What kind and how often do you fertilize??
Lots of sun year round (obviously acclimate to summer heat and sun) and pruning. The single stem one started as like a 3 or 4 inch cutting from 4 years ago. As it grows I snip off the tips to promote branching. Depending on the amount of growth I may prune a couple of times a year. This also thickens up the main stem as well.
Feel free to send a picture of your jades to my Instagram account.
thanks for the tips! I went and checked mine with your leaf test.. no water needed.
Nice Steve!
Hi i need your help to prun my jade where are you? do you do
Where do you get the black thing you are watering them on? I’ve never seen those before at my local nurseries.
From Canadian Tire store, but it looks like they don't carry them anymore.

I would love my jade grow such a big trunk, I repotted it some weeks ago in a much bigger pot and pruned it. is there anything else I can do?
I have a video for that lol Sun/heat, pruning and time (patience is the hardest part lol)
th-cam.com/video/qucVW9eUNuY/w-d-xo.html
@@EverythingPlants Thanks a lot!
@@EverythingPlants - I found that patience is needed when making home made wine too....ha ha ha ha
Good information but distorted background music
Thanks!
The bubbles at the bottom are because you've got it sitting on a wet tray, and the water you're adding to the pot is pushing the air out the bottom.
I often just say what I'm thinking.....frequently 😂
@@EverythingPlants which makes Jeff so adorbs 🪴
Thanks!
Can I use an led light over them. Or would that be too much light
Jades need a ton of light. I have some of mine under LED grow lights
How do we take off the mineral build up from the terra cota pot while the plant is still in the pot?
There is not much information out there for cleaning a pot with a plant in it, but I definitely would not be using vinegar diluted in water as this could be soaked into the pot. I would probably try maybe just distilled water or even a drop of dish soap mixed with water to clean it off.
You can try a dry steel wool/soap pad for the mineral buildup
White vinegar with water but it looks so nicely weathered…
Ive been clearly under watering my plants. lol
Most people over water....
Hey! Beginner plant-er here. If i don’t have a pot with drainage holes in it will my plant still thrive? Furthermore, how can i know when to stop watering (if it has no holes i can’t see it drip) Thanks!
Hello Fi Fi! Drain holes are obviously a way for excess water to drain out. If you don't have drain holes then water the plant and you can always tip it sideways to let the excess water drain out. Otherwise you are good. I like to use terracotta, so if the soil stays wet for too long, at least the pot can absorb and evaporate some of that moisture. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply!
How do you feel about misting them with water?
I don't routinely do this, but if the leaves are dusty then absolutely I will rinse them off. Jade leaves are susceptible to fungal infections, so I'd be cautious with this.
Hi . Thanks for the helpful tips. I recently bought a large jade plant but I think it’s pretty root bound. I can see the roots on top of the soil. Should I repot it now or should I wait until spring time?
Is it still healthy or is it requiring lots of water etc?
@@EverythingPlants i
It seems pretty healthy but the soil is rock hard. I can’t even scratch it with my finger.
@@kristinamarks7111 as long as it is healthy then I would probably leave it alone. If you are watering it more then normal or the plant drops leaves then I would repot it. It's a tough question to answer without seeing the plant.
@@EverythingPlants thanks for your input. I’ll keep an eye on it and just leave it be for now.
What about if some of the leaves are easily able to bend, but others are rigid on the same plant?
I'm going to assume that the plant will soon need water. Lower leaves bendable and higher up ones rigid?
Should i put my jade plant on the window ledge indoors or is it too cold it started snowing yesterday.
I have mine right against the window sill (ledge is too narrow for my plants) and they are never affected....I wouldn't have them touching the window as that might cause some damage.
Thank you
Hi there,
I had/have several large jade plants. I moved and all the leave keeps getting wrinkle and fall off. When I look at pics of how big they were. Most of the leaves have fallen off. Do you have any suggestions...
Did anything about the climate they are in change? Did they get exposed to cold winter air during the move, etc?
I moved last May, so no. The difference is that my new apartment faces the back of the building and backed by another building. My old apartment was facing the front with excellent light. I don't want to believe the leaves started to drop because of that reason.
I'm going to guess that is the reason....not enough light 😢
The leaves of mine are going black and some parts are falling away from stem. Is this root rot? I've had it outside all winter and we've had an enormous amount of rain this year. Should I keep the pot under cover during winter?
Black leaves are usually not a good sign....probably fungal. Im going to assume your winter doesn't include snow if you kept it outside. Jade love heat and sun and when ive had mine outside in the summer I would sometimes water every few days. Im going to assume the enormous amount of rain probably harmed it. Is it black or mushy at the base near the soil line?
@@EverythingPlants Thanks for your response. Yes I live in Australia. We can have some extremes with the weather. I've had a feel of base of plant. Not soft or damp. Feels fine and good leaves are healthy to touch but the bad ones seem to have large areas of black spots . Some even look as if they've been eaten. I must admit it looked a little sick when I bought it back in September now I think about it. I've trimmed all the bad leafs off now. Im thinking u maybe right about fungus? Is there a treatment for this.? Want to try and save it if possible.😔
Isn't Jade an indoor plant? I was told so, I bought it and seems almost it's going to die, we don't have direct sunlight in our apartment, please advise...
Jades grow outdoors in warmer climates and can actually get quite large. I will take one of mine outdoors for the summer here in Canada and bring it back inside once the temperature in the fall starts to get cooler. Jades love the heat and sun, but make sure you slowly acclimate it into higher light and temperatures otherwise it will get sunburnt.
Please it in your brightest spot in your apartment and see how that does. If you are in a tropical climate then place it outside....just slowly transition it to brighter light over a few weeks.
How i can make more crasula from mother plant ?
Here you go. I show how to propagate this near the end of the video
th-cam.com/video/qucVW9eUNuY/w-d-xo.html
When should I transfer my plant
Do you think it is ready right now?
Hello. What if my jade plants are all under grow lights. Do I continue my twice weekly watering?
Are you in a hot tropical climate? If that is what your plant uses and still looks healthy then don't change it. Use the leaf trick if you are unsure
No actually I live in Maryland USA. We experience all 4 season here. My apartment only gets 3 hours of evening sun so 98% of my plants are under grow lights. I have 300+ plants and they are used to 8 to 10 hours of grow light daily. I have several different types of Jade plants and their watering are different. I also use the leave test before watering. They are very healthy and happy
@@nporter3 what type ofngrow lights do you primarily use for your plants?
I have several different types, depending on the plant. The are all LED though, if I understand ur question correctly. I use Sansi, Barrina and Medusa are just some of the brands I use. Some plants I have under the lights that are colored as well.
@@nporter3 thanks for your reply!
Hey! Did you see #2 yellow pointing to the bag of soil mix? 👍
✏
Hey i bought a new jade it's very tiny one.... But i don't know how much should I water it... It's pretty hot where in live.... Im confused exactly how much water is required
Water until it comes out the bottom of the drain hole is usually my guideline when watering most of my houseplants. Just pay attention to the soil and the leaves before watering it again.
@@EverythingPlants Thank you!!
How long did it take to become a tree?
Hello. It is about 4 years old now.
All of my jade leaves fell off of the stems of the plant, what is the reason for this?
My guess would be lack of light or too much water....or a combination of both perhaps. 🤔
Will these leaves grow back or should I cut the stem to the soil or pull the plant out?
I had a beautiful jade plant that was one of my favorites . I put it out on my patio along with my other plants during a warm spell …. And someone Stole it!!🤨🤨 I feel as bad as if they had taken my dog /:
That is absolutely horrible. Sorry that happened to you.
I’ve been watering my succulents every two weeks because when I used to water them once a month they always ended up dying on me 😭
Yay...keep doing what you are doing!
My plant looks like jade but only hangs down, like hanging plant. The leaves look the same as yours otherwise.
One of my larger jades with multiple stems in the one used to hang down as well. The larges weigh a lot and eventually they start to sag. I did some pruning on it for weight reduction and eventually it started growing upright again.
I know the leaves should be plump but mine are thin 🥺 but still looks healthy & in a south facing window.
Are the leaves flexible?
@@EverythingPlants no, very sturdy.
@@ChocolateMelanin then I don't think you have anything to worry about. That might be all that the plant requires for water storage. That might be dependent on your locations humidity and etc.
Good video. The soundtrack is atrocious.
Haha....thanks?!?!?

@@EverythingPlants I live in California and it gets quite a bit colder than 10C in the winter. it's been around 4C most nights but my succulents are very happy outside (they're in the ground, not in pots). but I agree they would not like snow.
