Pruning & Care for My Large Jade Plant (Crassula 'Crosby's Compact')

One of the largest and most favorite bonsais that I have, my "Crosby's Compact" Jade is truly spectacular! These trees/shrubs can get to 3ft tall and wide so they are very manageable for any grower in any size living quarters. They don't take much water at all, moderate amounts of sunlight (and they turn a gorgeous shade of light yellow, jade green and a beautiful shade of red all at once in the right light) and a little bit of air circulation and these guys are happy as can be. Jades can live over a hundred years so if you know how to care for these beauties you'll have a wonderful long lived companion that you may have to pass on down the road. If you have one, or plan on getting one in the near future make sure you watch this entire video so you'll know how to keep yours looking its best and ready to start a healthy new growing season! Plant Prudently!

That means a lot! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Let me know if you have any particular plant you'd love to see a video on, eh?

[@user-te5wo3gj8c]

@@TheGreenAlchemist I’ve always loved the Venus fly trap, but I seem to kill it. You can help me with this little plant. ❤️👍

When I put house plants outdoors, should it be in the indirect sun or in shade?
