I really appreciate that you push the limits and do these experiments for us so we can learn from you without taking the risks ourselves! You give us new information rather than just regurgitating what we see in every other channel.
Thanks! I always enjoy videos that give just a bit more information other than just place it in 'bright indirect light'....so I try and make my videos as informative as I can. Thank you so much for watching
These Jade plants are SO amazing. I live in a subtropical climate and we have them in the gardens around our house. I love how they get the pinkish edge when in full sun and also how you showed the leaf growing a new plant just by laying on top of the soil. I have a few in pots indoors now (since watching your earlier videos) and will try to shape them when they size up a bit. Thanks for an interesting video on your Jade plants Jeff. Cheers.
I have a jade that went crazy! There were, what looked like, 5 separate trees coming out of the soil. It had been in an east-facing window for 7 years (in Alaska), so was tall, but leggy. Back in the spring sometime, I stumbled on one of your videos and decided to take care of that jade. I now have over 30 jade plants (couldn't tell ya which was the original one 🤔) and all are doing superbly! Yeah, my hubby thinks I'm a Crazy Jade Lady, but I love my jungle! Thank you MUCHLY for inspiring me!
I always love it when you do a Jade video, I love mine. I have way too many from doing too many propagations! Mine are outside right now enjoying their summer vacation and thriving!
Last year I purchased a variegated Jade plant online. It arrived as an 8” tall plant. It obviously had been started as a cutting as the leaves were quite mature looking. What bothered me was it was in a 21/2” pot and was completely root bound. One solid block of roots that were impossible to loosen up. I am amazed that the plant looked so good. It has since grown quite a bit and I am beginning to prune for the first time. It is difficult to decide what to trim since it had already been pruned before I got it. Those places that have grown in are still immature. Maybe I will wait until next growing season.
12:12. I used the paste for the first time a few months ago. I used it on my Jade, pothos, scindapsis, and Adansonii. They all were successful except for the scindapsis. I used a small tack to make a tiny hole at each node and then put the paste over where I made the hole. If yours doesn’t work definitely try to make a little hole or scratch the node open a little. It 100% worked for me.
That is awesome! I'll have to check on mine and see if there are any signs of new growth. If not, I'll poke a hole as you suggested. How long did it take to see the new growth points?
@@EverythingPlants only a few weeks! The Jade and pothos were the quickest and the Adansonii took a little longer. Oh, and I forgot that I tried it on my Monstera Peru. I kept getting long runners so I tried on every open node. I didn’t get any new growth at all. I was so bummed.
I would like to see the follow up on that paste that you use to induce branching, very interesting. Thank you for sharing all this info. very helpful. 👌
Hi Jeff! Perfect timing for me with this video! I have a 12" bowl of Jade that has the Mother and props and is about 6 years old or so.. I don't want to upsize the bowl because it fits perfectly on the plant shelf. I'm going to root prune it so I can keep it in the same bowl. Thanks!
This is super useful, I’ve only really pruned my succulents and pothos so far and it’s definitely given me a bit more confidence seeing how they both responded so well. Haven’t tried root pruning yet but if the situation requires it, I’ll be ready.
This video was very helpful I always enjoy your jade plants content. Definitely will try to experiment with mine. I take it same methods with other types of varieties. My favourite one is the Crassula ovata minor and the Crassula ovata hobbit. Both very hard to come by. Especially ones that has already a thick tree trunk and thick branches. I do want to make it a bonsai look see more of the wooden stems and bark. But always nervous in cutting off plants. I usually let nature do its thing don’t do any propagations unless i have a friend want a piece of it and grow it themselves.
That's why I say in my videos you don't have to prune... Whenever I do the plant responds very well. Good luck with your plants and thanks for watching my videos
Loving this! I chopped the roots on my mother in law plants because she didn't wanted an upsize and even on the peace lilly it worked well.😅 I wish you showed us your other jades too, like the hobnit/ogre one since the leaves are so different,n
I really appreciate this video (well, all of your videos actually. lol) The more I watched in this video. The more I find myself loving the jade plant. It truly is a magnificent plant! I have a jade a Crassula Ovata, sorry for the missed spelling. I have pruned it in May of this year. It is growing new shoots and they look very cute. However, I didn't prune back as far as you showed in this video. (I had watched another person on RUclips, show me how to prune before I discovered your channel.) I have little stubs that are about half the length of the original growth of the plant stem. So, many of the new shoots are growing on either side of were I cut. I'm not sure whether it is safe to prune back more or, just leave the stems be.
That is so exciting that you got new growth after pruning.... Good job! If you ever want me to have a look at your plant you can send me a picture to my Instagram account and maybe I can help you out some more
Loved this video. I’m not afraid to prune my jade plants. I’m looking forward to a beautiful big jade like yours someday. Thanks for the encouragement and great tips.
Thanks for a great video! My jade is sitting on the kitchen table waiting for me to come back and finish pruning. I must check out more of your videos. I also put you in my favorites. Thanks again for sharing valuable information ❤
I live in a condo complex my building has 52 units, when i trim my jade i plant then in smal pots, 4 inch diameter and give them to neighbors for good luck . We're in florida so outside works too. I always tell them how easy they are to raise. Lots of sunlite and minimal water. Also that these are cuttings and i'm too cheap to through them away 😂
Hello, I had my suspicions about this theory and I started to put it to the test. Since when we transplant to a larger pot we still prune the roots. Succulents in general resist transplants very well, it is recommended to transplant every one or two years, and root pruning is also important. So we shouldn't have any problems 🌱
Thanks for this exceptional tutorial! Is that a Hoya Carnosa on your shelf behind you? I love this plant....when it blossoms it it so fragrant! They are soooo slow growing tho! Years ago, I bought on with my hubby - it was HUGE, and had 75 clusters of blooms on it. When it finished blooming, a called a respected florist store and they told me to prune it back to the last set of leaves! Well, it died. And they didn't know that the blossoms come back every year on the nodes they told me to cut off. I currently have 5 small plants and they are growing well. (no blooms yet). Would you consider (please!) doing a tutorial on these beautiful plants? I for one, would really appreciate it! Fan from SW Ontario, Canada!
You have helped me me greatly. Thankyou for your information. Also please do a video on the trees that you put the paste on. Im very interested to see what happens. 🙂
Hi Jeff. Your jades are gorgeous. You talked about feeding the jades even in Winter as long as they are putting out new growth. How do you feed them. I am always afraid to give them too much.
Hey! I got my first jade plant about a month ago, and I've been obsessed with them. Thank you so much for posting all these videos, it's quite entertaining! As of right now my jades are thin and tall, with a single stem. Would they be able to grow thicker trunks without cutting off the main stem? All I did was cut off some leaves at the bottom.
Congrats on your new jade! They will get thicker and woody over time but if they get too tall they can start to sag and bend. Pruning helps control weight, promote branching and growth lower including thickening up the main trunk
Hi Jeff! Watched 2 of your videos and started following you immediately 🙌🏽 You make it so easy to understand…🙏🏽 I bought my first plant 2 months ago and have 6 plants now including a jade (80 cm) with a few problems 😊 I am thinking of repotting to correct some of the leaning and maybe prune it at the same time? I am living in Turkey at the moment. It’s still 25 C° and up. Should I wait till spring? Repot now prune later? Could you please give me an advice or two🙏🏽❤️
I have a very small jade but here's my question: does it naturally lose the lower leaves as it grows? Try tiny one has lots of top growth but it's coming really tiny. Should I take off lower leaves to encourage the upper storey to grow larger? This is the first time I haven't killed one thanks to you!
@EverythingPlants I don't do insta unfortunately. Perhaps tomorrow I can try posting here?? I'm not terribly tech savvy, but I've got a green thumb :-)
I always say once you begin pruning just do one branch and make it a small section just so you can see how the plant responds. This will help you feel more comfortable the next time you decide to chop it up.
@@EverythingPlants good advice, Jeff. I’m really wanting to see if I can get a leaf to sprout something, too. Good video, you really do make it look easy! 💚🪴
Always love your Jade videos! Took me about a year to work up the nerve to prune a significant portion of my plant and the two props i took off of it are growing faster than the mother plant. I do have k-paste so I'll be staying tuned to see how your jade responds to it. It would be great to see a video series on how multiple plants respond to it. ALSO... It has been a while since I've seen your APT plant (ag pictum tricolor). Is it doing okay?!
Hi Jeff - I have a golem jade tree that I purchased and I'm slowly killing it; a majority of the leaves are shriveled and limp. I'm thinking I should prune all those off and possibly chop the very substantial root system somewhat. I further believe the problem has been that the watering hasn't been penetratraing this whole time, because the top of the soil is hard like a drum, sorta like you were saying this one was. Any thoughts? Thank you for the awesome videos all around, I have learned so much from you & really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me and the greater world. You're the best!
I just bought a Jade that has 5 stems in a 4”pot. They stand about 3” above the pot. I like the look of multiple plants in one pot. I love the look of your mother plant. How long should I wait till I start pruning to get the full look. I love your videos!!! Thanks
I have the mother plant and then a separate pot of multiple stems. Those stems were all taken from the mother plant as well and I am not pruning that specific plant. I do have a video in the reels section on Instagram. It is the multiple stem hanging pot if you want to have a look at it. Should fill out as it grows and you don't necessarily have to prune. The only time I really prune a multiple stem. Jade is for propagations and if the stems start to droop.
I appreciate learning all about my jade plant, thank you. If I want to propagate the ones that I trim off, would I be able to put all of the trimmings in one pot to make a fuller plant?
What are your thoughts on root pruning a large (5’ on wood pole) single stem , highly fenestrated monstera . It is nicely shaped gets morning sun for half of the day. I am sure it is root bound as I have been directing Ariel roots into soil for stabilizing for about 2 years. I have a wee bit of browning on older leaf tips. I am thinking this may be from being root bound. Thoughts? Thanks.
I think you are right in your assessment of possibly being root bound. Now I don't want to give any advice for your large plant but i would try it with mine hahaha
Any succulent or Cactus soil is good. That lately I've been using very plants gritty mixture. The link is down in the description of this video for a discount
You’re a master at the jade plant. Every time you do a video with jade I say I’m going to get one, but this time I really will🙂. It’s an awesome plant. Thanks for sharing Jeff!
Thanks for this video. Ive dabbled in Bonsai for years and find our growing season in the Pacific North West difficult to manage plants. Please comment on my plan to grow Jade Bonsai's. Im always so busy in the summer months that nurturing 1 or a dozen trees outdoors in our typical summer heat is difficult on a daily basis. I think im going to get into Indoor plants instead. Im currently sitting on about 40 Jades of different sizes. Many are small cuttings and a few are mature trees. It appears to do this successfully; I need to keep them in small pots when infants and then progress up to a gallon pot as they become 18" or so. Then as they mature, I could reduce the root ball and put them into smaller pots as they age. It appears from this video, they need the growing cycle of an outdoor planted jade with lots of soil so their roots can develop? Then as they age, they can become bonsai? Thanks so much for your work on youtube. Your videos are great! PS, How's that branch propagating going on those long branches you show here?
Thanks for all the education on jade plants! I adopted some small jade plants of different varieties last year, and now one or two are large enough for me to consider pruning. When you cut off a stem and let it root in soil, you said to leave it for 2 weeks and do nothing. Is it best to use completely dry soil? Or new soil that has some moisture content? My plant is already in completely dry soil so I'm worried it might be near the time when leaves could get a bit wrinkly without watering, especially with no roots and no other moisture.
If you grow an extra finger, you will win the planty internet 🤣 you will obviously have to fully document that growth then show us if you can use it instead of a pencil or if you can propogate! Always nice to have a spare hand ✋
Have you done a video on plant tools? I notice your snips (or whatever you call them) seem to be very sharp. What brand are they? Thanks for all the videos filled with info for this newbie to plants!
Thank you for the great video, I have a huge overgrown jade plant & trimmed it with your help, let’s hope it will be ok, now I need to repot it, the soil is rock hard & away from the sides of the pot, any more tips on that? Thank you!
Great video! I have had my jade plant for about a year and a half now. I bought it as a small cutting and it is now several inches tall with some natural splits/branching. I have never pruned it, so when would you suggest starting that process? It has grown a lot in the time I have had it and I definitely want to get it into a big tree like yours!
I love Jade plants, have quite a few but lately they became infected with mealybugs. Could you tell me how to get rid of those pests. Some of my Jade plants are 5ft. Tall
@EverythingPlants thank you. The issue is that my plants are like trees they are tall and have tons of leaves. It would take me a century to get done, and the bugs would probably move to one side of the plant till I get done, then move back when I get to the other side.
I have a large healthy jade plant which I have never pruned, however, 1 large woody stem has now started to lean over. It is not soft and squishy and the leaves at the top are plump and green. My question is should I /can I cut that whole large stem off the plant and leave the other 2.
once a month or longer. Once the soil is dried out, wait for many of the leaves to get soft. top leaves will feel different than bottom leaves at first. Soft is noticed by them being foldable, bendable and also have a weak structure to them. Then give it a good soak, wait 30 minutes and soak it again. clay pots are best, drain holes underneath and a cactus soil is preferred.
Depends on many factors like light, pot size and etc.... Here is a short showing you how to tell if a jade needs water! ruclips.net/user/shortsNHgFLnHTNv8?feature=share3
I use dyna grow foliage pro for all my plants. I have switched to fertilizing with a diluted amount for every watering instead of once a month. The reason for this is because I have way too many plants to keep track of when they get fertilized. All of my plants seem to love the small, consistent nutrient watering
HI'itsCHEF. 😂 I have bought 2 cheep dish generic led for 2 od my Philodendron shevles. They are 18w and to close to the leaves (few insches) Normally i would have then on for 12-14 hours, but they are must to powerfull. Hende they are now on for 6 hours. Would i be adviseret to give the plants 30 min rest, with light off, for every 2 hours. So as not to burn the leaves, or will my 30 min resttime not have any bebefits, in the fear of burning. Thank you for the 2nd best plant channel here. Simon from Denmark.
Would you recomemd me to try then 30 min off cycles, as a way of prevent burning? I only follown 10ish plant channels, but Techplant, who is so niche, curious, caotich and eksperimental is amazing. He also led me the way to yours amazing channel. I love that you are contekst driven, no unnessesary 2014's demo sound intro logo. Straight to the point. I hate all these cheap Fiverr intros and outtroes 🫡
@@SimonDambro okay, I'll give it to tech plant.... Definitely one of my favorite channels to watch as well. I wouldn't cycle the grow light on and off... LEDs for the most part emit low heat, so you're really shouldn't have to worry much about leaf burn unless it is extremely close to the actual leaves. I have mine on for 14 hours a day and I have never had any issues with LED lights.
I've never been able to get a jade plant to grow big. The only one I have now is a Gollum jade that I've had probably 5yrs and it's still so small. Not sure why!? 🤷♀️
if its an older jade you will struggle. You might need to cut them off and propagate them. If they are young and flexible, you could wire them as you would a bonsai
Pickles is the obvious reason it was missing some branches... Obviously, he had fairies over to play on the swing and they broke the top... I don't know how you didn't know this 😬🙄

Nope, can't find a way to do it here. Any ideas?
I’m going to have to get a jade plant. It’ll probably be years until I have nerve to prune 😉 Also, the tire swing is perfect for that jade!
I always say once you begin pruning just do one branch and make it a small section just so you can see how the plant responds. This will help you feel more comfortable the next time you decide to chop it up.
@@EverythingPlants good advice, Jeff. I’m really wanting to see if I can get a leaf to sprout something, too. Good video, you really do make it look easy! 💚🪴
Always love your Jade videos! Took me about a year to work up the nerve to prune a significant portion of my plant and the two props i took off of it are growing faster than the mother plant. I do have k-paste so I'll be staying tuned to see how your jade responds to it. It would be great to see a video series on how multiple plants respond to it.
ALSO...
It has been a while since I've seen your APT plant (ag pictum tricolor). Is it doing okay?!
It's not doing much of anything lol.
Hi Jeff - I have a golem jade tree that I purchased and I'm slowly killing it; a majority of the leaves are shriveled and limp. I'm thinking I should prune all those off and possibly chop the very substantial root system somewhat. I further believe the problem has been that the watering hasn't been penetratraing this whole time, because the top of the soil is hard like a drum, sorta like you were saying this one was. Any thoughts?
Thank you for the awesome videos all around, I have learned so much from you & really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me and the greater world. You're the best!
Hey Matthew.
If you want me to have a look at it then feel free to send a picture to my Instagram account.
@@EverythingPlants will do. Thanks!
I just bought a Jade that has 5 stems in a 4”pot. They stand about 3” above the pot. I like the look of multiple plants in one pot. I love the look of your mother plant. How long should I wait till I start pruning to get the full look. I love your videos!!! Thanks
I have the mother plant and then a separate pot of multiple stems. Those stems were all taken from the mother plant as well and I am not pruning that specific plant. I do have a video in the reels section on Instagram. It is the multiple stem hanging pot if you want to have a look at it. Should fill out as it grows and you don't necessarily have to prune. The only time I really prune a multiple stem. Jade is for propagations and if the stems start to droop.
@@EverythingPlants thank you
I appreciate learning all about my jade plant, thank you. If I want to propagate the ones that I trim off, would I be able to put all of the trimmings in one pot to make a fuller plant?
Yes! Jam them all in one pot
@@EverythingPlants thanks 🙏🏻❤️
What are your thoughts on root pruning a large (5’ on wood pole) single stem , highly fenestrated monstera . It is nicely shaped gets morning sun for half of the day. I am sure it is root bound as I have been directing Ariel roots into soil for stabilizing for about 2 years. I have a wee bit of browning on older leaf tips. I am thinking this may be from being root bound. Thoughts? Thanks.
I think you are right in your assessment of possibly being root bound. Now I don't want to give any advice for your large plant but i would try it with mine hahaha
I realized that my Jade has been in the same dirt for 9 years. It started as a single leaf and I just never thought to change the dirt. 🤔
What you need to do is have a cement guy come in and drill out a few dozen ten inch holes in the basement, plant directly in soil, go potless Jeff! 😂
😂 I would be in trouble
Green thumb❤like the swing lol
Thanks!
What kind of soil do you use for the Jade? What do I do first when I get my plant in the mail, besides unwrap it.
Any succulent or Cactus soil is good. That lately I've been using very plants gritty mixture. The link is down in the description of this video for a discount
You’re a master at the jade plant. Every time you do a video with jade I say I’m going to get one, but this time I really will🙂. It’s an awesome plant. Thanks for sharing Jeff!
They truly are....thanks Carol
Thank you❤
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. Ive dabbled in Bonsai for years and find our growing season in the Pacific North West difficult to manage plants. Please comment on my plan to grow Jade Bonsai's. Im always so busy in the summer months that nurturing 1 or a dozen trees outdoors in our typical summer heat is difficult on a daily basis. I think im going to get into Indoor plants instead. Im currently sitting on about 40 Jades of different sizes. Many are small cuttings and a few are mature trees. It appears to do this successfully; I need to keep them in small pots when infants and then progress up to a gallon pot as they become 18" or so. Then as they mature, I could reduce the root ball and put them into smaller pots as they age. It appears from this video, they need the growing cycle of an outdoor planted jade with lots of soil so their roots can develop? Then as they age, they can become bonsai? Thanks so much for your work on youtube. Your videos are great! PS, How's that branch propagating going on those long branches you show here?
Your jades look great!
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks for all the education on jade plants! I adopted some small jade plants of different varieties last year, and now one or two are large enough for me to consider pruning. When you cut off a stem and let it root in soil, you said to leave it for 2 weeks and do nothing. Is it best to use completely dry soil? Or new soil that has some moisture content? My plant is already in completely dry soil so I'm worried it might be near the time when leaves could get a bit wrinkly without watering, especially with no roots and no other moisture.
If you grow an extra finger, you will win the planty internet 🤣 you will obviously have to fully document that growth then show us if you can use it instead of a pencil or if you can propogate! Always nice to have a spare hand ✋
Lol so far nothing to update
Just be careful when you prune it! 😂😂
When do you repot your Jade? Mine is in a short, squat terra cotta since I acquired it and is now quite large, should I repot?
Look for things like roots poking out the bottom of the drain hole, you are having to water it more frequently than normal.....
That pot is so beautiful! Where did you get it?
Have you done a video on plant tools? I notice your snips (or whatever you call them) seem to be very sharp. What brand are they? Thanks for all the videos filled with info for this newbie to plants!
I can't remember the brand, but they are mini shears from Canadian Tire store. But the most important plant tool is THE PENCIL ✏️ HAJA
@@EverythingPlants I think I can find a pencil here 😆 Thanks!
Thank you for the great video, I have a huge overgrown jade plant & trimmed it with your help, let’s hope it will be ok, now I need to repot it, the soil is rock hard & away from the sides of the pot, any more tips on that? Thank you!
Great video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Awesome with great instructions 👍👍👍👍❤️🇺🇸
Thank you, I learned something from this video. Hopefully I did not learn it too late! 11:56

Thanks for watching John
Great video! I have had my jade plant for about a year and a half now. I bought it as a small cutting and it is now several inches tall with some natural splits/branching. I have never pruned it, so when would you suggest starting that process? It has grown a lot in the time I have had it and I definitely want to get it into a big tree like yours!
Is there any thing around the house to clean the leaves to make them shine ?
I just hose them off with water when the plant needs water. Just make sure there is good air flow, so the water doesn't sit on the leaves.
I love Jade plants, have quite a few but lately they became infected with mealybugs. Could you tell me how to get rid of those pests. Some of my Jade plants are 5ft. Tall
I actually have a video coming out tomorrow about this.... But generally you just want to use like rubbing alcohol and a q-tip to wipe them away
@EverythingPlants thank you. The issue is that my plants are like trees they are tall and have tons of leaves. It would take me a century to get done, and the bugs would probably move to one side of the plant till I get done, then move back when I get to the other side.
I have a jade plant that’s quite full and I like it that way. One side is higher than the other. I want the whole plant to be the same height.
you can slowly trim it to achieve this. Turning the weak side toward the light will help too.
نبات الجيد جميل جدا وطاقة إيجابية شكرا
I have a large healthy jade plant which I have never pruned, however, 1 large woody stem has now started to lean over. It is not soft and squishy and the leaves at the top are plump and green. My question is should I /can I cut that whole large stem off the plant and leave the other 2.
just spectacular
Thanks
Hello, how often can we do the pruning?is it ok to do it couple of times during the growing season?
Ya! If it's a fast grower then you can definitely prune again. I pruned in early spring and then some light pruning in this video
Thanks for this very informative video
How often do your water jade plant in the winter?
once a month or longer. Once the soil is dried out, wait for many of the leaves to get soft. top leaves will feel different than bottom leaves at first. Soft is noticed by them being foldable, bendable and also have a weak structure to them. Then give it a good soak, wait 30 minutes and soak it again. clay pots are best, drain holes underneath and a cactus soil is preferred.
How often do you water a small jade plant?
Depends on many factors like light, pot size and etc....
Here is a short showing you how to tell if a jade needs water!

Whats a good fertilizer for jade/ succulents
I use dyna grow foliage pro for all my plants...even succulents
What type of fertilizer do you use for your jades and how often?
I use dyna grow foliage pro for all my plants. I have switched to fertilizing with a diluted amount for every watering instead of once a month. The reason for this is because I have way too many plants to keep track of when they get fertilized. All of my plants seem to love the small, consistent nutrient watering
HI'itsCHEF. 😂
I have bought 2 cheep dish generic led for 2 od my Philodendron shevles.
They are 18w and to close to the leaves (few insches)
Normally i would have then on for 12-14 hours, but they are must to powerfull. Hende they are now on for 6 hours.
Would i be adviseret to give the plants 30 min rest, with light off, for every 2 hours. So as not to burn the leaves, or will my 30 min resttime not have any bebefits, in the fear of burning.
Thank you for the 2nd best plant channel here.
Simon from Denmark.
Hahaha....thanks for the information about the lights that you have. Dare I ask who takes the #1 🥇plant channel throne???
Would you recomemd me to try then 30 min off cycles, as a way of prevent burning?
I only follown 10ish plant channels, but Techplant, who is so niche, curious, caotich and eksperimental is amazing. He also led me the way to yours amazing channel.
I love that you are contekst driven, no unnessesary 2014's demo sound intro logo. Straight to the point. I hate all these cheap Fiverr intros and outtroes 🫡
@@SimonDambro okay, I'll give it to tech plant.... Definitely one of my favorite channels to watch as well. I wouldn't cycle the grow light on and off... LEDs for the most part emit low heat, so you're really shouldn't have to worry much about leaf burn unless it is extremely close to the actual leaves. I have mine on for 14 hours a day and I have never had any issues with LED lights.
Great video
Thanks!
How do you thicken the trunk of the jade crassula. They sell them more like a bunch in a pot. Can they be separated to grow tree like?
good job!
Thanks!
When leaf laying on soil, do u dig it out to plant
Depends on what you want....I just let them grow
How do I get shiny leaves on my Jade plant⁉️
I just spray them off with water, but just make sure the water doesn't stay on the leaves. You can place a fan nearby to provide airflow
I see you use clay pots. Do you recommend that for jade plants?
I use them because it helps with getting rid of soil moisture
Where did you get the pot with the flowers on it
I've never been able to get a jade plant to grow big. The only one I have now is a Gollum jade that I've had probably 5yrs and it's still so small. Not sure why!? 🤷♀️
I'll be making a video about this soon, but sometimes it's not actually anything you do or not do... Might actually be the pH of your water
Haworthia do not have shallow roots at all... Especially relative to their size.
Depends on the age of the plant as well. I've never grown a haworthia so thanks for the information
The trunks of my jade plant are leaning all out of the pot. Can I get them to grow straight up?
if its an older jade you will struggle. You might need to cut them off and propagate them. If they are young and flexible, you could wire them as you would a bonsai
Hi, what size is the pot please?
Pickles is the obvious reason it was missing some branches... Obviously, he had fairies over to play on the swing and they broke the top... I don't know how you didn't know this 😬🙄
Thanks for bringing this to my attention lol
You need to obviously try the keiki paste on a fiddle node... Why you? You have a fiddle and the keiki paste sooooo... 😁🤷🏼♀️
I plan on trialing this with a number of plants so stay tuned!
