I‘ve got Jade plants, that are actually from my grandmother. They went to my mother decades ago and later to me. They must be at least 50 years old and they get nice blossoms from time to time. These plants can get really old. 😃
I have a 10-year-old jade plant whose thickest trunk is about half an inch, likely due to lack of water and lack of fertilizer over the years. I've been improving my care over the years (and started on antidepressants) and it's doing a lot better now that it's getting regular water, fertilizer, and a big bright sun lamp over it. I've been planting all of the cuttings I've made from it and have about a dozen happy little jade plants now! :) Hoping to one day have one of those big luscious jades with the huge leaves, but that'll just take patience. My crassulas have been the sturdiest plants I've owned, they can sure take a beating and the worst thing that happens is they turn lovely colours!
I do sigh, sorry. Ads along the video are too long. I like to "transfer" yt videos to tge smart TV but it is almost impossible to skip the ads. High dose of patience required. A no for me. And no, I won't pay for youtube premium.
I had replanted my 2 ‘mother’ Jades in larger pots. They looked dreadful. After watching How To Prune Jade Plants I set upon the 2. We began by ‘having a word’ then I began pruning as you directed. They were way too top heavy so I cut where I wanted 2 shoots to come out. This morning they’re a bit surprised at yesterday’s haircut but as I told them, ‘you’ll be ok’. Meanwhile I have many new plants started. Thank you for teaching us how to, with easy to understand instructions and excellent accompanying video. You don’t waste time with superfluous chatter, but get right to the point. That’s why I subscribe and follow. Thanks again. Jo in Sarasota FL
I was shopping one day at a local grocery store and discovered a lovely dual Jade plant in the corner near the front doors; I bought them and gave each plant their own pot. I noticed one leaf on each plant developed a brown spot after transplant, I think it was just shock due to their new home. I've also ensured they get enough sunlight and water. I bought then during the winter a few months ago and I wonder if I over water a little bit during the transplant to ensure they took root well. They're otherwise doing famously :) the spots have not grown though each plant has surely gotten comfortable. I've got them in succulent soil and face-first in an east facing window, so they get all the afternoon and evening sun. I can't wait to see them grow larger and thrive, I've love the bring them downstairs into the common areas or even outside once they're full grown adults! Edit: I also bought a pregnant Aloe plant and she's literally shot out like 4 pups since I've bought her, she's phenomenal I have so many aloe now lol
One of our jade plants had the white spots, and was put outside, as we thought it was bugs. It's been out all winter and has a lovely pink tone. It's a bit dimpled though .
I have a bunch of jades, but 2 days ago all the leafs fell off one of them, it was looking fine and the next day boom. It was super dry but the stem still looks fine so ive changed the soil and im hoping new leafs will form, so im super thankful for the tips
Thank you so much for this!! I have been wondering about the odd things (like this!) going on with my plants. Side note: I cut up 10L water tanks to use as basins under pots, especially outside. I live in a coastal town in Western Australia. Currently very hot summer. So, a couple of days ago I picked up one of these tank basins I had kinda left to the side after potting up the plants that had been in it. I wanted to reuse it for new additions. As I picked it up, I noticed the bottom glistening with crystals in the sun. My instant thought was, salt. We are close to the beach in a notoriously windy town. Salt in the air settling over everything, eating everything away. Including my plants. I hadn't given too much thought to the tap water, even though we don't drink it as it is technically toxic (fails water safety tests!!), guessed it would be okish. But now my plants are suffering and even dying. I will be changing my ways immediately. Once again, thank you.
It's better to keep those plants a bit on the underwater side. I had a beautiful gollum jade, one of the first plants bought when I moved in my new apartment 4 years ago and it died. It was shriveled because I moved it to a sunnier spot and obviously it needed more water, but I watered it too much and the stems rotted. I bought another plant shortly after, now I know better how to take care of them and I hope in time it will be more beautiful than before.
I am SO happy I found your channel!!! I know I need to do a cutting on my Shrek Ear Jade because it is getting really heavy and I am worried it will actually split the trunk if I don’t. I have been so afraid to cut it back…..but now I feel comfortable pruning!! THANK YOU!!!!
Great video as usual, but I would like to add that most of these arid succulents like crassula really don't mind low temperatures as in their native habitats nights can get very cold. They just can't take freezing, especially their roots and will die instantly if this occurs. One exception I have found is the flapjack/paddle plant which seems to really hate any cold. I've lost a couple by leaving outside one day too many in the autumn.
To check the condition of the substrate, I insert a wooden stick into the pot, right at its edge and to the very bottom. You can leave it for a few minutes, or take it out and check with your hand whether it is moist.
maybe in the british isles you need to give it a lot of sunlight, but in my area, jade does not like being in direct sun. it likes a lot, but direct beats it up. i take it out in the summer but keep in shade (as i do with all house plants). ive had mine for over 45 yrs. it also flowers in the fall with clusters of white, fragrant flowers that turn pink, like an oak leaf hydrangea flower. thank you for all of your good advice.
@@SheffieldMadePlants im in Pennsylvania amish country, US. no, im not amish. my main jade which procreates in every plant it gets near, has become a bonsai b/c i kept it in the same snug pot all these years, with stems measuring 9.5 inches in diameter. occasionally, i refresh the topsoil. i think it flowers b/c i take it outside as soon as possible (may, after danger of frost) and i leave it out until almost the end of october, which is really pushing it. this past winter, i had it in a window with direct sun and it got really stressed. it still flowered, but lost a lot of leaves.
Brilliant video, very informative. I've had jade's for years, actually just lost a 50+Yr old jade from root rot 😢. Love to see a video as informative as this for adeniums, as they have just become my fave plant and finding it hard for them to thrive in the UK.
Rich, I got my baby jade. She is in a 4 inch pot and jam packed with even a leave that fell off and propagated a new baby on it's own. I am watching all your older jade plant video's to catch up. The alocasia is still alive. lol Love and Peace
I've never seen this on my crassulas - I have a load of them in my garden of all sorts. I'm in south africa, so you basically just grab a leaf from someone else's and prop them. super common plant all over cape town. Maybe the rain ensures that this doesnt appear on the leaves. I myself give away probably 30 a year since they just prop so fast! Big plants often just end up with loads of little ones underneath from dropped leaves and stuff.

I have a 25 year old Jade out on my West facing deck. It started as a cutting and is now about 4' tall. I water it 2x in summer, otherwise leave it alone. We have a Mediterranean climate & get lots of rain in Winter which seems enough for it, plus it blooms beautiful clusters of pink flowers every Fall. I've had to cut it back a couple times over the years and have always propagated the cuttings. My outdoor plant never gets bugs but my indoor Jades attract mealy bugs too easily regardless of light, water or placement so I now put the new cuttings in pots outdoors where they thrive.
So funny how different it would be where you are compared to me. I live in San Diego so mine are all outside and require different things. But I love your video and your jades look awesome!
I always put my 20 year old jadeplant outside in spring and bring it back indoor in the fall. It gets rainwater or filtered water, never noticed white spots. Some leaves do get little roots on it while still on the plant.
I love the red or colored tips it gets in the sun. But how do 8 know when too much sun is too much without it burning? Also what’s the best soil mix for jades?
Thank you for the advice on Jades! I was gifted one last fall and I had no idea how to care for it. I'm doing something right because my leaves are firm and it looks very healthy. I do want to ask you if you have any idea how to care for Monkey Puzzle trees? I was gifted one a few weeks ago. These are trees and do get rather large but I was told I would be able to keep it in a pot for a few years before having to plant it. I can't find much information on how to care for one indoors. Would you please post a video on that? Thanks again!
Stumbled across this for a video I am doing on my Jade Bonsai. I shall definitely be referencing this in my video. Thaks for the great information. How do you tell the difference between Jade and Elephant Jade?
One thing people forget is that cacti and succulents need much less fertiliser than normal plants, especially nitrogen. Like a 3-6-6 or a 3-3-6 fertiliser is best, probably. If you put, for example, standard manure-based fertiliser on it at normal doses, very soon it will start to yellow, get mushy or even rot. You may think it's overwatering, cut on water, but that may add even more stress. A jade will generally recover if it's not too late, but a cactus is more likely to eventually die or become permanently unattractive. 😢
my jade looked like that & was dehydrated. great price tho. i look the chance & bought it. i rubbed off the dots & watered a few times. its doing very well now. its in a teensy pot, im going to knock up the pot size just a tad. not much, i understand they enjoy it a bit rootbound. so, soon i will do that. thanks for the info, i had no idea.
There are so many factors to consider when watering your jade plant, or any other plant for that matter. The size of the pot, what the pot is made of (clay vs. plastic), the type of soil, indoor vs outdoor location, humidity, temperature, time of year. I am sure there are other factors to consider. In summer, I water my jade plant in a clay pot twice a week (zone 9b outdoor), and sometime even that is not enough. It's important not to overwater, but it's also important not to let it dry out too much.
My jade is young at 2 years nearly but it's 2 trunk bases are both 1 inch diameter and idk like 3.14x the diameter in circumference or whatever the calculation is.....either way they're an inch across each of them 🤷♀️ they really like the soil mix....I also collect any moss blobs I find that birds knock out of gutters etc lol and growth that round all the plants cos looks nice and holds water at the top of the trough aaaaand if they die u know way early that your under watering or using too much tap water cos that kills moss in like a week or less 🤯🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ basically think of the moss like miners used to think of canaries like...... 👍 if it dies its about to get bad all over lol Happy growing plant loving ppl
I bought a small jade plant. Every time I watered it... lost a leaf. It didn't grow for a full year!! It lost a lot of it's roots. I replanted it and another 6 months later and I finally saw new growth! It took 2 years to take it from 4 leaves... watering only a spash every few weeks, to 2 main stems, each with 3 sets of leaves. Idk what Im doing wrong, but it is creeper slow. Otherwise it is a deep green, smooth but not squishy. I moved it closer to the light and put it in a smaller container before it did anything.
Richard the cutting I was given of my jade is very long then it has leaves so I’m going to cut it back before the leaf area it’s like 3/4 inch from dirt to first leaf. Wish me luck 🍀
Can you boil the water and then water the plant once it cools off? I have the tiny white deposits on some of the leaves. I can buy distilled water but it’s not convenient.
Hello love your channel My Jade plants are big nice big trunks branching out nicely and compact ..the issues are the leaves curl under with a new leaf growing from the bottom of the leaf ..like sandwiched is this normal? I really don't hear you mention it? Or is it a different kind of jade I am not aware of
Have four large outdoor jade that are looking poorly. They have brown spots on the leaves that look like a scale. ll are dropping lots of leaves. Should I spray them? or use dawn dishwashing soap? Thank you. Looking for your water meteor.
You are so informative. I had gotten cuttings many years ago. It has not grown much at all . it is 2 cuttings and it has creeping like stems. How can grow this jade plant better? Petals are small.
The white spot thing is very helpful. Mine gets it but its right next to where i use my electric toothbrush so i thought it might be just spray from that 😅. Still not sure which it is but glad to know it's not a serious issue.
Thank you for all your great info. I also have recently purchased the water meter 😊. I have a jade..seem to be losing leaves..I watered as the leaves were wrinkled..and still they just fall off..what is the proper kind of soil I should put in if I transfer it to another pot as u think this pot I got it in doesn't drain. Appreciate your help. Thank you. Marilyn
Hi there thank you ever so much for your knowledge and time on the matter of Jade Succulents !.. I'm wondering if you could advise please? I put my Jade plant outside as a plant that I had bought into the house had gnats and infected it. It was absolutely thriving but I left it out a little bit too long and unfortunately it has been bothered with frost so now its limp but not dead... I have stripped away all the soil and I'm wondering whether to try and repot it or discard it altogether... the leaves are super moiset essentailly it needs new soil and direct sunlight ( but we dont have much sum ATM and the house temp doesnt really get abouve 18 degreesas im tight with the heating- and prefere clothing to fake heat.. thanks you in advance for your time on the matter i f you were to reply ..m x
@@SheffieldMadePlants thank you ever so much. I’ve ordered some succulent soil which I won’t be able to do till Thursday so fingers crossed it can do well between now and then I’m going to put it in the warmest room in the house.
Thank you for all of your great videos. Last year I saw a jade plant in bloom. I didn't even know they could flower! Is there a way to encourage the plant to bloom?
If you keep your jade plant outside (I live in Mexico, temperate climate) should I use fertilizer for outside plants instead of indoor? it is in on a covered patio but in the sun.
Hello, I would really use some help with my jade plant, hope you can help please 🙏🏼. I bought a 7 yr old, huge huge huge jade plant a few years ago, everything was fine until we moved to a new flat. The leaves were getting smaller and smaller, thin, wrinkly and a lot of the bottom leaves even get totally dry and fall off. I understood it needs watering and so I was watering more often. However, it didn’t help, and even one day 3 big branches fell off the tree. The leaves are still the same - small, thin, wrinkly and a lot of them still dry off, but not yellow! I’m afraid to overwater it since it’s a huge tree and a pot that does not have drainage holes o I water a little every week. I don’t know what to do. Hope I can get your help! Thank you!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What are your thoughts on jades placed next to the kitchen sink? They seem to survive here but I often wonder if the excessive humidity will make them struggle compared to one placed in another window. Thanks for your thoughts.
@@SheffieldMadePlants I'm sorry I thought I added the time, 5:17, right about. It is the plant you showed us when you added fertilizer by bottom feeding. It's the exact... Plant! I can't seem to make it happy 😥
Thank you so much for this video. I've got a jade and this is the first time having one, so I haven't learned everything necessary for its care. In particular, the white spots on the leaves. I thought I had a fungus problem. Could one do a monthly flush of the soil to remove the salt from the tap water?
The problem I have with Jade is that they grow so big they crack the foundation walls and concrete boarders around my property. I pretty much consider them weeds. Very little water, sandy loamy soil and burning direct sun all day everyday and these things are unstoppable! Still great for our Spanish garden tho.
My jade is showing over watering issues and loosing leaves again.... It happened half a year ago, I put it in a new sunny place and watered less and it was thriving. Last week the soil was 100% dry and I gave it water and now it's happening again, even though the soil was dry. I guess it Is the soil that isn't chunky enough
Hi, I'm enjoying your vids. my jade plants don't have spots, but do have wrinkles....& seem to be darker than ones that I see in videos. Any advice? TIA!
My jade is doing great not lanky roots are healthy as well but recently I have seen some callous like browning on the leaves, no one has any video about this issue, dont see any infestation signs either
I am relieved to find out that the white spots are harmless...I thought I had amould or insect infestation on my jade plant...phew! good to know I don't need to worry about them! Thanks.
I got a Crassula Ovata that I propagated from cutting 30 years ago when studying horticulture (an easy assignment). I have developed it in the omono bonsai style, and is currently about 4ft tall, including the pot. Unfortunately, the root system is underdeveloped (and no, I have not done any of the root pruning common with bonsai) leaving the tree top heavy. at the end of each winter I repot it upright. but by the start of autumn it's always leaning around 45deg. Last repotting I also pruned back to primary branching, still leaning. Is there any way to encourage more root growth so the tree can support it's own weight?
I have to buy some extra light, my plants are next to my glass door but my neighbor palms block a lot of light. My jade looks poorly and I do think I over water but have been using the moisture meter a lot lately.

I live in Southern California and I have my Jades on top of a wall so they bake all day. I’m so thankful for the plants that can handle the heat.
This one sure can 👍

Errrm.....what else while I'm writing typos r us essays... if u love them and their flowers they know.... pls see THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS documentary....and experiments on utube using electroecephelograms on plants that show they recognise people and remember them over time including things they have done, even if they wear disguises becauseobviouslythey dont have eyes lol......plants even have electric based inner reactions to our thinking of harming them 🤯🤯🤯.....so remember to tell them it's for the best and their benefit when u have to cut them or help them to make babies basically 😆🙏🙏🙏
Wow I’ll have to check that out thanks 👍👍
I have a 25 year old Jade out on my West facing deck. It started as a cutting and is now about 4' tall. I water it 2x in summer, otherwise leave it alone. We have a Mediterranean climate & get lots of rain in Winter which seems enough for it, plus it blooms beautiful clusters of pink flowers every Fall.
I've had to cut it back a couple times over the years and have always propagated the cuttings. My outdoor plant never gets bugs but my indoor Jades attract mealy bugs too easily regardless of light, water or placement so I now put the new cuttings in pots outdoors where they thrive.
Nice one. Where abouts do you live? A flowing Jade 😮
Thanks. Yet another brilliant video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am a new subscriber, thank you for sharing. I have Jade plants 👍
Thanks for subbing!
my jades are getting these spots for first time this year. I had them for years and only water them with rainwater from butt.
So funny how different it would be where you are compared to me. I live in San Diego so mine are all outside and require different things. But I love your video and your jades look awesome!
Thanks for sharing!
Lots of great information, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I use laboratory grade distilled water on my jade and get the white spots. My colleague uses tap hard AF tap water…no white spots
4:17 This is not a Crassula ovata plant (jade) but a Portulacaria afra (elephant bush)
my Jades are only ever watered with rain water and they still get the tiny white specks. I sometimes clean with damp kitchen paper.
You have talked me into a moisture meter 😊
👊😁
4:20 is a portulacaria afra, not a crassula ovata
Was looking for this comment 💯💯👍🏾👍🏾
Wow thamks
I always put my 20 year old jadeplant outside in spring and bring it back indoor in the fall. It gets rainwater or filtered water, never noticed white spots. Some leaves do get little roots on it while still on the plant.
Ooo that’s interesting
I love the red or colored tips it gets in the sun. But how do 8 know when too much sun is too much without it burning?
Also what’s the best soil mix for jades?
If things are starting to go brown and crispy
I am happy with my jade plant now, i have never had the white spots, but did have the soggy leaves, changed my watering use and now it looks great.
That's great!
Thank you a big Help for us. New Subs here ✌️ GOD BLESS US ALL...
Thank you for the advice on Jades! I was gifted one last fall and I had no idea how to care for it. I'm doing something right because my leaves are firm and it looks very healthy. I do want to ask you if you have any idea how to care for Monkey Puzzle trees? I was gifted one a few weeks ago. These are trees and do get rather large but I was told I would be able to keep it in a pot for a few years before having to plant it. I can't find much information on how to care for one indoors. Would you please post a video on that? Thanks again!
Never heard of that one
Stumbled across this for a video I am doing on my Jade Bonsai. I shall definitely be referencing this in my video. Thaks for the great information. How do you tell the difference between Jade and Elephant Jade?
Is that the one with finger like leaves?
@@SheffieldMadePlants No, its the portulacaria afra
One thing people forget is that cacti and succulents need much less fertiliser than normal plants, especially nitrogen. Like a 3-6-6 or a 3-3-6 fertiliser is best, probably. If you put, for example, standard manure-based fertiliser on it at normal doses, very soon it will start to yellow, get mushy or even rot. You may think it's overwatering, cut on water, but that may add even more stress. A jade will generally recover if it's not too late, but a cactus is more likely to eventually die or become permanently unattractive. 😢
But a regular houseplant feed is fine right)
my jade looked like that & was dehydrated. great price tho. i look the chance & bought it. i rubbed off the dots & watered a few times. its doing very well now. its in a teensy pot, im going to knock up the pot size just a tad. not much, i understand they enjoy it a bit rootbound. so, soon i will do that. thanks for the info, i had no idea.
Glad you found it useful 👍
There are so many factors to consider when watering your jade plant, or any other plant for that matter. The size of the pot, what the pot is made of (clay vs. plastic), the type of soil, indoor vs outdoor location, humidity, temperature, time of year. I am sure there are other factors to consider.
In summer, I water my jade plant in a clay pot twice a week (zone 9b outdoor), and sometime even that is not enough. It's important not to overwater, but it's also important not to let it dry out too much.
Simplest thing is to check first
My jade is young at 2 years nearly but it's 2 trunk bases are both 1 inch diameter and idk like 3.14x the diameter in circumference or whatever the calculation is.....either way they're an inch across each of them 🤷♀️ they really like the soil mix....I also collect any moss blobs I find that birds knock out of gutters etc lol and growth that round all the plants cos looks nice and holds water at the top of the trough aaaaand if they die u know way early that your under watering or using too much tap water cos that kills moss in like a week or less 🤯🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ basically think of the moss like miners used to think of canaries like...... 👍 if it dies its about to get bad all over lol
Happy growing plant loving ppl
Ooo interesting tip. I get plenty of that in my garden from the birds too
I bought a small jade plant. Every time I watered it... lost a leaf. It didn't grow for a full year!! It lost a lot of it's roots. I replanted it and another 6 months later and I finally saw new growth! It took 2 years to take it from 4 leaves... watering only a spash every few weeks, to 2 main stems, each with 3 sets of leaves. Idk what Im doing wrong, but it is creeper slow. Otherwise it is a deep green, smooth but not squishy. I moved it closer to the light and put it in a smaller container before it did anything.
Moving it to the light is the thing. They need lots of light to grow
Richard the cutting I was given of my jade is very long then it has leaves so I’m going to cut it back before the leaf area it’s like 3/4 inch from dirt to first leaf. Wish me luck 🍀
🍀🤞
Can you boil the water and then water the plant once it cools off? I have the tiny white deposits on some of the leaves. I can buy distilled water but it’s not convenient.
No, I have only ever watered with filtered water and they have these spots.
Hello love your channel My Jade plants are big nice big trunks branching out nicely and compact ..the issues are the leaves curl under with a new leaf growing from the bottom of the leaf ..like sandwiched is this normal? I really don't hear you mention it? Or is it a different kind of jade I am not aware of
Sorry never seen that so not sure what it is
Have four large outdoor jade that are looking poorly. They have brown spots on the leaves that look like a scale. ll are dropping lots of leaves. Should I spray them? or use dawn dishwashing soap? Thank you. Looking for your water meteor.
You are so informative. I had gotten cuttings many years ago. It has not grown much at all . it is 2 cuttings and it has creeping like stems. How can grow this jade plant better? Petals are small.
Lots of light. The more light the better
The white spot thing is very helpful. Mine gets it but its right next to where i use my electric toothbrush so i thought it might be just spray from that 😅. Still not sure which it is but glad to know it's not a serious issue.
Glad I could help!
I own a 30+ year old massive jade plant and use a water meter religiously
Wow what a veteren 😁
Thank you for all your great info.
I also have recently purchased the water meter 😊.
I have a jade..seem to be losing leaves..I watered as the leaves were wrinkled..and still they just fall off..what is the proper kind of soil I should put in if I transfer it to another pot as u think this pot I got it in
doesn't drain.
Appreciate your help.
Thank you.
Marilyn
I would use 3 parts compost 2 parts perlite
People forget that the roots are underground, they will be drinking, the water will just be deeper, I mainly bottom water mine every week’ish
👍👍
Help, I get holes on my succulents like something is eating into them, but there's no mealybugs nor any other obvious pests
Not sure what that could be other than sap sucking pests
That may be due to fungal infection.. Change the soil and use fungicide.. Remove infected leaves..
Hi there thank you ever so much for your knowledge and time on the matter of Jade Succulents !..
I'm wondering if you could advise please? I put my Jade plant outside as a plant that I had bought into the house had gnats and infected it.
It was absolutely thriving but I left it out a little bit too long and unfortunately it has been bothered with frost so now its limp but not dead...
I have stripped away all the soil and I'm wondering whether to try and repot it or discard it altogether... the leaves are super moiset essentailly it needs new soil and direct sunlight ( but we dont have much sum ATM and the house temp doesnt really get abouve 18 degreesas im tight with the heating- and prefere clothing to fake heat.. thanks you in advance for your time on the matter i f you were to reply ..m x
I think it will just time to recover. You might lose some foliage but put it somewhere bright and above 15c and it should bounce back
@@SheffieldMadePlants thank you ever so much. I’ve ordered some succulent soil which I won’t be able to do till Thursday so fingers crossed it can do well between now and then I’m going to put it in the warmest room in the house.
I actually like the look of a ‘stretched’ Jade plant. They look like little trees to me.
Thank you for all of your great videos. Last year I saw a jade plant in bloom. I didn't even know they could flower! Is there a way to encourage the plant to bloom?
I’ve never seen it. It will be down to light and warmth. Thanks
I have jades and crassula everywhere(outside) and they're all blooming right now. So pretty!
@@bonnieblenders4606 lovely 😊
If you keep your jade plant outside (I live in Mexico, temperate climate) should I use fertilizer for outside plants instead of indoor? it is in on a covered patio but in the sun.
I fertilise my outdoor plants 👍
Question? Why is the soil clumping? I purchased soil just for jade plants and the soil is hard where as water is hard to penetrate 😮 through
Could be bad soil. Could be becoming hydrophobic. Is it very dry?
Hello, I would really use some help with my jade plant, hope you can help please 🙏🏼. I bought a 7 yr old, huge huge huge jade plant a few years ago, everything was fine until we moved to a new flat. The leaves were getting smaller and smaller, thin, wrinkly and a lot of the bottom leaves even get totally dry and fall off. I understood it needs watering and so I was watering more often. However, it didn’t help, and even one day 3 big branches fell off the tree. The leaves are still the same - small, thin, wrinkly and a lot of them still dry off, but not yellow! I’m afraid to overwater it since it’s a huge tree and a pot that does not have drainage holes o I water a little every week. I don’t know what to do. Hope I can get your help! Thank you!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Did you notice any rotting in the middle of the stems? How are the roots looking?
Hi I found this one in jade plants too. Can I ask what is your name ?? 😊 water from the bottom??
🤣 Richard
What are your thoughts on jades placed next to the kitchen sink? They seem to survive here but I often wonder if the excessive humidity will make them struggle compared to one placed in another window. Thanks for your thoughts.
Doesn’t seem like an issue. Jades are pretty robust
Mr.Sheffield! I'm such a fan :) I need to ask you, what is the plant in the middle
Got a time stamp?
@@SheffieldMadePlants I'm sorry I thought I added the time, 5:17, right about. It is the plant you showed us when you added fertilizer by bottom feeding. It's the exact... Plant! I can't seem to make it happy 😥
@@Theperilsofbev that’s a ripple Jade
@@SheffieldMadePlants thanks so much! Now I can look up better info as to how to better care for it, like I said, I can't seem to make mine happy
Excellent information. I have a window in my bathroom that gets sun all day. Would that be a good location?
Yep that should work 👍
Thank you so much for this video. I've got a jade and this is the first time having one, so I haven't learned everything necessary for its care. In particular, the white spots on the leaves. I thought I had a fungus problem. Could one do a monthly flush of the soil to remove the salt from the tap water?
Thanks. You can do a monthly flush to get rid of salt built up 👍
The problem I have with Jade is that they grow so big they crack the foundation walls and concrete boarders around my property. I pretty much consider them weeds. Very little water, sandy loamy soil and burning direct sun all day everyday and these things are unstoppable! Still great for our Spanish garden tho.
Blimey didn’t know they were so destructive
@@SheffieldMadePlants I can send photographic evidence! They can be real pests! Beautiful Pests! 😉😉
@@TheRealSabrinaDeep I’m on insta
My jade is showing over watering issues and loosing leaves again.... It happened half a year ago, I put it in a new sunny place and watered less and it was thriving. Last week the soil was 100% dry and I gave it water and now it's happening again, even though the soil was dry. I guess it Is the soil that isn't chunky enough
The leaves probably had enough water even though the soil was dry. Try waiting till the leaves are wrinkled
Jade is imo one of the succulents that need to more water
Hi, I'm enjoying your vids. my jade plants don't have spots, but do have wrinkles....& seem to be darker than ones that I see in videos. Any advice? TIA!
Wrinkles sounds like it’s thirsty. How often do you water?
usually once per week@@SheffieldMadePlants
@@FlwrMs does it look unhappy?
mmm, what does that look like?@@SheffieldMadePlants
@@FlwrMs are they stems shrivelling and is anything limp?
My jade is doing great not lanky roots are healthy as well but recently I have seen some callous like browning on the leaves, no one has any video about this issue, dont see any infestation signs either
Could be damage from letting the soil dry out too much
I am relieved to find out that the white spots are harmless...I thought I had amould or insect infestation on my jade plant...phew! good to know I don't need to worry about them! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful 👍
What compost for the jade plant do I need a silk with sand in
Sorry should say soil
It needs a nice light airy mix. You can use compost and perlite
I got a Crassula Ovata that I propagated from cutting 30 years ago when studying horticulture (an easy assignment). I have developed it in the omono bonsai style, and is currently about 4ft tall, including the pot.
Unfortunately, the root system is underdeveloped (and no, I have not done any of the root pruning common with bonsai) leaving the tree top heavy. at the end of each winter I repot it upright. but by the start of autumn it's always leaning around 45deg. Last repotting I also pruned back to primary branching, still leaning.
Is there any way to encourage more root growth so the tree can support it's own weight?
I’m not familiar with bonsai honestly. Maybe warmer temps and more light will develop roots quicker?
I have to buy some extra light, my plants are next to my glass door but my neighbor palms block a lot of light. My jade looks poorly and I do think I over water but have been using the moisture meter a lot lately.
A light sounds like a good idea. They need lots of it to thrive
