My ancient JADE PLANT, Crassula ovata: How to grow & bloom!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- This video shows you how to grow, propagate and also get your Jade plant (Crassula ovata) to show it's beautiful blooms for you! My Jade plant is already well over 25 years old and shows it's awesome blooms for me every winter! This video also gives you a rare insight to these wonderful flowers and blooms. The wonderful #succulent plant Crassula ovata is one of the most popular and most widespread succulent houseplants grown worldwide. It is hugely popular because it requires only relatively little maintenance and is quite easy to grow: give it a bright location outdoors (frostfree!) or indoors (at or near a window), keep it in a well-draining sandy or gritty cactus or succulent soil mix and do not overwater it (water thoroughly then allow the substrate to completely dry out before watering again).
For it to develop buds and then it's blooms for you, keep it cooler and drier in the autumn / fall months. The cooler temperatures, shorter days and reduced watering will trigger buds to be developed on plants that are old and mature enough to do so.
Propagating from leaf or stem cuttings is very easy as these develop roots quite quickly and easily when placed in a pot with substrate and are then occasionally watered!
I can definitely recommend growing this natural bonsai-like succulent plant, to both beginners as well as experienced growers of cactus and other succulent plants!
Enjoy!

My friend, thank you for good sharing
Thank you very much for watching and I'm very happy that you liked the video and my blooming old Jade Plant, my friend! Have a wonderful day and happy growing!! 🙏🙏😊👍🪴🌵🪴🌿🌸😎☀️
Nice one Joe 🙂 Yours is huge 😲 I've had mine outside all Summer, brought it back into the cactus house in the Autumn and now it's happily not flowering again 😁 Hope you have a lovely weekend my friend 😊😊🌵🌵🌿🌿
Oh no, Ziggy, sorry to hear that it did not flower, could it be perhaps it is not old enough yet? Keeping my fingers crossed that it blooms for you in the coming season! Season's Greetings to you my friend, take care and best wishes!! 👍🙌😊🪴💚😎☀️
Your Crassula ovata is so beautiful covered with flowers! What dedication to be moving it in and out. It looks big and heavy. Great job giving it the proper care and thanks for the care tips! Mine is still small and young but I’m looking forward when it matures and flowers.
Hey Ana! Thank you so much, very happy that you found the video useful and also enjoyed my grande old Jade plant in bloom! Yes indeed, haha, it doesn't just look it... it IS pretty heavy and about 5 feet high now! So indeed, every year it is a two-person operation, moving it out into the garden in late spring and then back into the conservatory again in fall - BUT it's worth it as it really loves the fresh air and being exposed to rain, sun, every weather, except for freezing, frosty temps of course! Good luck with your plant too, hope it matures to bloom for you very soon too! Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year and very best wishes for 2024!
This was such a helpful and informative video! I had no idea they bloomed, and that the blooms are so beautiful! I now have questions answered and new plant goals for my Jade thanks!!
Thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful feedback, I'm really happy that the video could help answer your questions and that you found it useful! Best wishes and happy growing! 😂🙏👍🙌😊🌿🪴🌸💚😎☀️
This was great feature plant. I never have the heart to throw away my cuttings so I'm usually overrun by tiny jade plants. Thanks again Joe for the informative video!
Thanks a lot, Justin, really happy that you enjoyed the video and my Jade plant! Haha, I recognize myself in what you describe...I too can never throw any pieces away, so I always have a little forest of rooting stems, cuttings, leaves, etc of my mother plant, lol! Enjoy the holidays, stay safe and thanks for watching & commenting!🙏🙌👍😊🪴🌿🌵💚😎☀️
AWESOME video Joe :-D your Jade plan tis absolutely BEAUTIFUL and WOW at 25 years old, its a BEAUTY, and BRILLIANT info and care tips you have shared on growing these beauties and how to get them to flower, my Jades haven't flowered for a few years after I moved them into my old green polytunnel, but hopefully with my new lighter polytunnel I will see blooms again in the near future, thanks so much for sharing this awesome video Joe, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Bavaria for a fantastic Christmas and Holidays ahead XXXX
Thanks so much, Lyn, and indeed keeping my fingers crossed for a rejuvenated and very rich bloom in your wonderful new polytunnel! Sending you and Hans a Merry Christmas over to the beautiful Emerald Isle!🎄🌵🪴🎄🎅🤶💚😎👍
Great video Joe, I started collecting jade plants a year ago mainly because they look so beautiful as a tree. Thank you for sharing this as it’s flowered!!
Thanks so much, Josh, brilliant to read from you that you too are a big fan of these Jade plants! Also, I'm really happy that you enjoyed the video and also my flowering Jade plant! Hope your collection of these also flowers for you very abundantly! Happy growing and best wishes to you!
Wonderful plant and super useful video ! Thank you Joe !! 🌵🌵🌵💚💚💚🎄🎄🎄
You are very welcome, Anna! Very happy that you liked my Jade Plant oldie but goodie and also found the video useful! Hope you are having an awesome day! 🙌👍😊🪴💚😎☀️
Good information JOE have a great day
Many thanks, Gary, glad you found the information useful and thanks for watching & commenting! Wishing you an awesome day too and happy holidays! 🙌👍🙏😊🌵🎄💚😎☀️
My former apartment was on the 3rd floor. It had no elevator only stairs. The staircase had all glass windows in front. Being on top level, I placed some plants there. One was a grassula ovata. In the summer, the temperature could reach 30 or 35 Celsius in the winter, 5 or 8 degrees Celsius.
It crow big and did flower every time around January.
When I move to the apartment where i live now, I sold him to someone because I had no place for it.
After watching your video, maybe I will get me a new one.
I have a tiny gollem, but that is weird growing.
Merry Christmas everyone. ❣️🎄🌵
Oh WOW! That must have been a wonderful old plant, your previous Jade Plant, and really awesome to hear that it flowered for you every January too! And indeed, it is the relatively cool temperatures in fall/autumn that trigger the buds to develop! Thanks for watching and for your brilliant comments and feedback! A Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones! 👍🙌🙏🪴🌿💚🤶🎅🎄😎☀️
😊 passend zum Tag: Weihnachtsshirt. Sehr schön. Dein Geldbaum natürlich auch.
😊🙏🙏👍🙌🎄🌵 haha, herzlichen Dank, Gallus, freut mich sehr! Frohes Fest!
Nice plant!!! Yes these were extremely popular when I lived in Southern California as both potted and landscape shrubs!! The trunk of these plants would get massive!!! Portulacaria afra does much the same out there planted in the ground . And yes, always blooming in the winter!!! It's been a long time since I've seen them that size!! Great video Joe!!! Thanks for sharing this great plant with us!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks ,out to Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪 have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🌷🌸🌾🌳💐🌴🌹🪴🌻🌿🍀🌱😃👍
Thank you so much, Clyde, that is so interesting to read about these plants, also the Portulacaria afra, growing as large shrubs outside when you lived in southern California, my friend! Also great to hear those also flowered in the winters, the lower temperatures, shorter days and less watering really are the triggers for blooms! Thanks for watching and commenting my friend! Season's Greetings to you and your loved ones at Morris Park in the Ozarks!! 🙌👍🙏😊🌵🪴🌿🎄🎅🤶💚😎☀️
First of all: Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄😉
This plant really makes the term "succulent" all honour considering how juicy the leafs are 😄
Today I discovered to my amazement that my Schusterpalme ("Aspidistra elatior") develops a little flower bud. It is said to be quite rare that this plant blooms, so I'm really happy about this discovery 🤩
By the way, I got a T-Shirt with a blooming Lophophora williamsii printed on it for Christmas, such a gorgeous motive! 😊
Enjoy the rest of the year 2023! :)
Hi Jacob! Sorry for my late reply, but I had taken a few days off, and coming back I was very happy to just now read your wonderful comments, thanks! I hope that you and your family too had an excellent Christmas, and your Lophophora t-shirt sounds fantastic! Wow, it sounds like you indeed have quite a rare flowering palm (Aspidistra) coming there soon on your end, congratulations and well done for getting it to bloom!
Haha, yes indeed the Jade plant is a wonderful and very classic succulent plant, those leaves are so fleshy and store lot's of water and nutrients for the plant to actually endure a long time in very dry conditions! Enjoy the final two days of the current year and wishing you and your family a Happy New Year and very best wishes for a sucessful and healthy 2024! Take care and happy growing!!
Sobrang ganda ng mga halaman mo, Sir Joe.
That you very much Andi, I am so happy that you like my plants! Many thanks for watching and for your wonderful feedback! I wish you a great day and weekend! ☺️👍🙏🌵🪴🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️🏜
Really helpful Joe. Mine is now 40 years old, but has only bloomed twice. So I’ll follow your recommendations
Hi Robert! Brilliant to hear, WOW, your 40 year old Jade Plant must be an awesome sight too! I hope these tips work for you and that you get your specimen to bloom again too, best of luck!! 🙌👍🙏😊🌵🎄🌵💚😎☀️
Amazing video like always Joe! I love this plant! Have a beautiful weekend! 🌺🌺🌺
Thank you very much, Elda! And really great to hear that you love this plant too! Wishing you a wonderful weekend too! 😊🙏🙌👍🪴🌵🌺🌼💚😎☀️
Hello Joe! Your blooming jade plant is beautiful! Mama used to have a jade plant, but hers never got very big. It sat on a window sill all the time. I'm headed to church...just thought I'd comment on your plant and again wish you happy holidays!!
Hello Cheryl! Thanks so much and wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Merry Christmas too! 👍🎄🪴🌵🎄🎅🤶💚😎
Awesome video, Joe 😊 Lovely plants. I have a few of these in the collection. One is quite old but it had an extreme haircut this year haha. I'll probably do a video on it next year. Love the Christmas top by the way. Thank you for sharing with us my friend. Have a lovely evening and a lovey Christmas from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌺🌸🏜🎄
Many thanks, Daz, very happy that you enjoyed the video and my old Crassula in bloom. Brilliant to read that you are growing a few of these too! Haha, yes mine has over the years had some haircuts too, and never really liked that too much, so I prune just some parts of the plant, diffetent ones every year, so the plant can still bloom where it was not pruned. Wishing you and Edith a Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays too! 🙌🌵🎄🪴😉🌺🌼💚😎☀️
Interesting video Joe; Merry Christmas 🎅
Thanks so much, Terry, and wishing you a Merry Christmas too! 🎄😊🌵🪴🙌👍😎

hi cactus joe i have 7 types never had one flower & never knew they were sented cheers for video
Hi Lee! Wow, that is amazing to have 8 types of Crassula ovata! But, so sorry to read that none have flowered for you so far! I keep my fingers crossed that they will very soon!
Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏👍🙌😊🌵🌵🪴🌿🎄🤶🎅💚😎☀️
That was an😅 awesome plant, I have a very small jade plant, seems to be doing OK. I can hope it will someday get bigger. Thanks for another great video!!!
Thank you so much, Jena, I'm really happy that you once again enjoyed the video and also liked my grande old blooming Jade plant! Many thanks for watching and for your wonderful feedback! Wishing you lot's of success and hopefully also lot's of beautiful blooms for you one day on your own Jade plant soon! Wishing you a Happy New Year and all the very best to you and your loved ones for 2024!
Amazing information as always. I have a very old jade tree that was recently pruned a bit this year because it was very top heavy and branches bending. Did not wish to shock it when it was done in October....more pruning is required in the Spring.
It has started to bud new leaves but now dealing with mealybugs on its new growth. It has never bloomed for us... perhaps next year.
Best wishes for a blessed Christmas.
Thank you so much, Annette, for watching and also for your awesome feedback as always! Your very old Jade Plant also sounds fantastic and I am formly keeping my fingers crossed that it flowers for you in the upcoming winter flowering season! Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! 😊👍🙌🙏🪴🌿🎄🎅🤶💚😎☀️
Hi joe thanks and bless 2024 it's so nice to see the jade in blooms but here in the Caribbean where we have hot summers all year round they dont flower. Also the Christmas cactus dont usually flower either.
Many thanks, Marlene, wishing you all the very best for 2024 too! I'm so sorry to read that your climate unfortunately hardly ever allows these plants to flower for you. Indeed, makes sense, and I had never realised and thought of that before as here of course, we have such strong contrasts between the summer vs winter seasons. At least you get to grow your plants year round, while mine are dormant, sleeping and snoring for 4-5 months of the year, haha! 😉😴 Sending you very best regards, thanks for watching and for your awesome comments, happy growing!!🙌🙏👍😉🪴🌿🌵🌸🌺🌼💚😎☀️
Awesomeness ..I have several varieties of crassula jade here....none of them have ever bloomed...I suspect that it's because I prune them regularly to keep the branches compact..🤔🤔
Thanks so much, Dave!! Awesome that you are growing various varieties of the Jade Plant! I do prune a little too, usually I alternate between three sides of this large plant, as many of the buds indeed appear on the stems not recently pruned. Season's Greetings! 🙏🙌👍😊🪴🌵🎄💚😎☀️
With the millions of jade
Plants in millions of homes
You think you would hear
Of them budding more often
Haha, yes indeed, so true! Thanks for watching and commenting Dave, much appreciated! 🙌👍😊🪴💚😎☀️
Thank you for the video, really useful! Compliments for the beautiful Jade Plant. Happy Holidays!
Thanks a lot, Vera, really appreciate your lovely feedback! So happy you enjoyed my Jade Plant and also found the video useful! Wishing you Happy Holidays too! 🙌👍🙏😊🎄🌵🪴🌺🌼💚😎☀️
Wonderful video... you have explained various aspects of growing the Jade plant clearly. I live in North India and despite all my effort even the biggest Jades die in our 40+ C summers, even when kept indoors, so now I buy a small plant every fall and keep it till April after which they suddenly collapse. Any suggestions to keep them alive in our hot summers would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi, thanks for your wonderful feedback, I'm very happy that you enjoyed the video! Wow, that does sound like quite a challenge that you have there. At the same time, these plants are succulents and, as in their natural habitats, should be able to cope with 40+ C . I have a few of these plants in my greenhouse, where these temperatures are frequent during the summers. I cultivate them quite hard, i.e. only quite rare watering when it starts to gets hot, and I stop watering them, but have them out of the sun in a shady location, and some even throw off and lose most of their leaves. In the late summer and fall, when temps start to drop i water a bit more again and they grow new leaves. Perhaps this might help? Wishing you better luck next time! Thanks again and best regards to you in Northern India !🙏🙌👍😊🪴🌿🪴😎☀️👍
@@cactusjoe Thanks a lot I think you have given me the right approach for summer care for Jade.. I was increasing watering when it was hot...apparently, they are dormant in our summers and should be protected from direct sun and given only need base watering. Will try this in the coming summers. Really appreciate you taking the time to answer my question in detail 😃👏🙏 I do think you have a great understanding of plants I can't believe you have a fern and a jade growing together in the same pot 👍👍
@@desiTravelerOfficial thank you very much, for your kind words! Best of luck with your Jade plants 🙏🙏👍🪴🌿🪴😊☀️😎
My ruffle jade is growing well..its been 2yrs mow..its in a terra cotta pot. The ovarata jade always die
..idk why i cant keep it alive
Hi Michelle, very sorry to hear that! If the reason for their dying is root rot (... the most common issue for Crassula ovata) then perhaps next time repot your plant after buying (or rooting a cutting from a friend's plant) into a very gritty, sandy and well-draining cactus soil mix. Also, these plants can and should go for long stretches without any water. They hate regular watering and constantly wet soil. Better luck the next time and have a great day! 👍🙌🙏😊🌿🪴🌿
you can grow new plants from a single leaf
Yes indeed, that is correct! It is such an amazing and wonderful plant! Thanks for watching and for commenting, much appreciated! 👍🙌😊🪴🌿💚😎☀️
thy are a succlent ?
Haha, yes indeed they are! They store loads of water and nutrients in their stems and leaves and in that way can survive quite prolonged periods without rain and water in their natural environments, which is very typical for succulent plants! 🙏👍🙌😊🪴🌵🌺🌼💚😎☀️
