how to grow a LARGE jade plant

[@anniepette9795]

I got a leaf from my friend nextdoor 50 years ago. I was 5 years old. I'm 55 years old now. My plant is 1,5 meter high and fits with big problems through the door. In the winter she stays cool and dry and in the spring she goes outside till the first cold

[@EverythingPlants]

Omg....that is incredible. Do you have Instagram? I'd love to see a picture of this plant if you want to share it

[@jessicagalyon5840]

This is amazing

[@rungeon83]

I would LOVE to see this, my tree must be 10years, but I'm in love and now have two plants from it I'm hoping to give ti love ones

[@greasylimpet3323]

What a fantastic story! It's great that you never lost your interest in growing it. I've got one I grew from a leaf too, but it's only 5 years old! 🪴

[@volundrfrey896]

Wow, I really hope the cuttings I got from my mom 5 years ago or so will last another 45years.

[@auricolour7862]

Always got jealous about people's giant gorgeous beautiful jade plants and wondering what I was doing wrong... turns out my 10-year jade is a dwarf variety!

FINALLY! Someone who doesn't repeat themselves 5 times and talks so slow that I have to put the playback speed to 1.50!!! I have been winning with jade plants for about 4 years now, but wanted to learn to bulk up the stalk and VOILA! This taught me how. Thank you and I am looking forward to watching more of your videos! ~ Ruthie

My very old jade plant rewarded me once with beautiful small white flowers, it was amazing. :)

[@nabojsa]

I heard they do that if you keep them in cold conditions during winter (for example unheated closed balcony). Unfortunately I don't have these conditions so mine are at a room temperature all year long (obviously warmer in the summer, but definitely not cold enough in winter to encourage blooming).

[@LifeOnceLived]

I’ve seen them flower and my aloes almost every year I keep in full sun

I have a jade plant in a pot i grew from a cutting 30 years ago. I prune regularly and its only about 40cm tall, but its got a stump so thick it would take both my hands to wrap around it. One of my most treasured plants

My cuttings came from a plant started back in the 1800s its been handed down through the generations. All of the female cousins have a plant started from cuttings from the old girl.

[@lilli77]

In the same boat of trying to make my inherited plants as happy as before 😬 idk how old mine is, but its double sized from the at least 10yo ones. I was gonna prune it and give the cuttings away but it has those gross round bug thingies. I thought it was just some dripping from the flowers 😐 welp

Hi, I live in sunny (!) Scotland and had a beautiful old jade I had brought over from Ireland (I moved around a lot). I put the plant out in the garden in the summer and one day I was out all day and it turned out to be really hot, when I got home the plant had collapsed from the heat. I brought her back inside and after a few days it seemed that she was going to be ok. Funny thing is, the branches had all drooped down but then started to turn up at the ends again as she recovered and she looked like a big candelabra! I had lots of comments about that shape, everyone wondered how I got a jade to grow that way. I eventually had to give her to a friend as I couldn't tote her around any more. She's still going strong at 37 years, living happily in a conservatory, looking like a large candelabra tree. Never give up on your jade!

[@EverythingPlants]

Jade plants are such wonderful plants. I really wish we could share pictures in the comment section here because I would love to see that. Jade.

[@SuperManning11]

Tip #6: If you live in a warm climate like L.A. and you have a giant, gorgeous jade plant with a trunk that has about as big as a medium-sized tree that has always grown outside because the pot is way too big to be inside, then you move to an even warmer climate like Palm Springs that’s only a couple of hours drive from LA and you just assume that the plant will be fine in the heat, you assume wrong, and in late August your plant will look a little droopy and within a matter of days will basically melt and you will be left with a mushy stump that is definitely dead. The secret to growing jade plants in the desert: bring them inside during the months of July through September when temps regularly reach 120ºF, and they wil thrive! Yes, that was weirdly specific…. Great video!

[@EverythingPlants]

Okay... This is now one of my new favorite comments. I love how it's just one entire sentence with a hint of sarcasm hahaha. But sorry to hear about your Jade plant. I sure hope you have bought another one

I found a single leaf on the ground in a plantshop and the lady said i could have it. That was 6 years ago and since then it turned into a 25cm tall bonsai looking tree. It branches out continually I never had to cut it and has a beautiful red rim on the leaf's edges. I love that little plant! Interesting vid!

[@EverythingPlants]

That is awesome! They do branch out naturally but sometimes the branches get a bit leggy.....so I prune mine back to keep the branches shorter and more condensed

in Maryland mine is in direct sun all day, I can water it everyday, the leaves get thick and the tips turn purple (good) i bring it in by OCT, and today was the first day I watered it all winter.

theres a large jade plant in my school that i watered because it had clearly been neglected and the leaves were shrivelled and then the lab technician came and not only gave me one of her huge succulents because shes retiring soon, but also a stem cutting from her jade plant. i put it in some soil a few days ago and im so excited to watch it grow!

Very informative, thank you. My Mom passed away and she could grown anything. I have some of her plants and of course they are very sentimental to me. I don’t want to kill them. I’ve always grow a lot of things outside during the Summer, and I only started growing house plants a couple years ago. I lost a few plants in the beginning to root rot, and I’ve learned how to avoid that now, I hope. I’m extremely careful with watering. My Mom’s Jade plant is beautiful. However, on one side the branches have grown a little taller, probably the side facing the window. I will wait until Spring to cut them back a little and even it up. Great information about the type and size of the pot also. I was about to repot this one, but now thinking, maybe better to wait a bit. Thanks for your help.

[@EverythingPlants]

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. That is one of the reasons my jades are special to me is because it reminds me of my grandfather, who passed away many years ago. Most people that I talk to have some close connection with these plants whether it holds memories or was given to them by a close family member.

Never underestimate a jade plant, mine is 15 - 20 years old and has gone three months without sun or plant light every winter, it currently lives in a large self watering pot as it is so big and top heavy, it is pruned every spring to make it more compact . It lives outdoors during the summer and is now so big that I can't lift it myself, the trunk is bigger than my wrist and I'm a big woman.

Thank you for your helpful videos. I learned how to properly prune mine from another video of yours, but I have a question if you have time: We have 2 healthy jade plants (we're in Southern California, btw) that were planted in a front flower bed outside when we bought our house. We had a plumbing issue that required us to dig them up and pot them so they weren't destroyed by the work. The soil that they were planted in is sort of sandy/clay packed dirt. We just used that dirt in the two clay pots that we put them in, and I've watered them when they were dry and it seems to dry out fine on the surface - the plants seem to be thriving. They have grown a LOT in the time they've been in the pots and are very happy looking. Should I repot them with the cactus soil anyway?

[@Tjescoo]

I can confirm that jade plants will do just fine when you propagate them through LECA and let them live in there afterwards. My tests from last year are all showing new growth and do not seem to mind their prolongated wet roots :D

[@EverythingPlants]

Most houseplants can remain in water long term. It's when you place them in soil that stays wet for too long and deprives the roots of oxygen/airflow

[@eljay_h]

Instead of trimming mine down, I shape and cut it back minimally- I ise twine to hold the branches up where they need to be so they don't sag. They build enough strength in time. Now my tree is 3ft tall and very lush 🤩🤩😍😍

They also love coco soil when I potted one into a high ratio of coco soil to sand soil mix and it brached like crazy, personally idk if it was the Coco or other soil mix or the ratio i used or whatnot but my other jades didnt branch so vigorously all other methods ect used are the same as the rest of my jades this was the only change, would love if anyone with good knowledge and understanding can explain why so i can hopefully apply it to other eligible plants ect thank you

[@EverythingPlants]

My guess would be it has something to do with the pH of the soil. Coco coir is acidic around the five to six range which is perfect for most house plants. Overtime and depending what type of water you use, soil can become more alkaline. Plants need a slightly acidic soil for nutrient uptake.

[@sleeplessinthecarolinas8118]

Everything about your jade plant is karger than life. I will definitely be pruning mine soon.

[@Stationwagonguy]

Question- if I have a cactus soil, should I add perlite to it in addition or is the cactus/succulent potting soil good enough on it's own?

There's different brands that have cactus soil, so I guess it depends on the quality of the soil. You wouldn't be wrong to add more perlite so I would say go ahead lol

Do you have any tips on what to look for when buying one? Do you recommend a cutting or an established plant? Any preferred retailers to purchase from? I'm just starting and want one for sentimental reasons so any recommendations that give me a strong start are appreciated!

[@EverythingPlants]

Try and find a plant that has thick firm green leaves. Check the top and the underside of the leaves as well as the stems, soil and the bottom of the pot for pests. If there is little white cotton like fuzz anywhere on the plant then that is mealybugs and I would avoid. If you have any other questions feel free to message on my Instagram account

Hi there! I have a 2 jades from my grandpa that are more than 12 years old. Ever since I moved they have been struggling. I know it’s due to light and the fact that I have never trimmed them back. After watching your video I will be trimming! I have a few questions. 1. Can I trim now in winter or should I wait for spring? The plants are getting so leggy. 2. I did get a grow light and I ended up burning the leaves! Is there a way to introduce the light to the plant? And it has 5 levels do I do the lowest one? 3. The burnt leaves do I remove them? Id love to show you pictures if that’s do-able I really want these plants to make it they are my babies.

As long as your plant is receiving enough light then you can trim it anytime of the year. I'm actually quite surprised that it burned with a grow light.

I need advice on the ideal setup to water an old and very large jade plant. Mine is too heavy to bring to a sink and it's even too heavy to water in a deep saucer because the plant still needs lifting to dump out excess water in the saucer. In desperation, I'm taking big old bath towels to absorb the water. Any suggestions?

[@4x4simon4x4simon]

I just bought a Jade that looks pale. Should I try to deepen the green leaves? I'm not sure if I should put it into a bigger pot. It's pretty darn large. I can only just lift it

[@EverythingPlants]

I've never heard of jade leaves being pale. Usually leaves get pale yellow with too much light but jades tend to get colorful with lots of light. Feel free to send a picture to my instagram messenger

I've a question. My long gal, 10 years old, from a 100 year old mother in my families home town. It's getting air roots. Am I doing something wrong? I've never seen it have them before this year. 😳

[@EverythingPlants]

Nothing to worry about with aerial roots. My larger one has them right now and I know I've been letting it get a bit drier then normal....so it's most likely a minor underwatering issue. Now don't run over and start dowsing it, but maybe don't let it get dry for as long. Completely normal to have those roots! If you want, send a picture over to my IG account. Id love to see this plant.

How was it possible for me to keep my plant alive for so long? I did almost everything wrong. Thanks for the video, I'll take the right care of my Jade Plant now. I promise! :)

[@EverythingPlants]

Well you must have been doing something correct!!!

[@heatwave9589]

@@EverythingPlants Mh ... Lets say "At least she survived ..." But that could explain the size. She is ~10 years old and just 30 cm high. With a thumbthick stem ... I bet, with your tips, she will grow way better :)

[@EverythingPlants]

@@heatwave9589 I hope so....good luck friend

[@budilena3094]

Be grateful. You have a big beautiful jade plant ....

[@EverythingPlants]

I sure am because it took a long time to grow

[@MsPepper0421]

I have tried many many times to grow jade and they always die. So many people give me cuttings and shortly afterwards they die. I am going to buy new succulent soil to see if that changes my luck. I love the looks of this plant and I really wish I could grow it.

[@EverythingPlants]

Jade's need a very bright location and a lot of times the soil and even the pot makes a big difference with how these grow

[@77cuzigetatemore]

I bought a good-sized one and all the leaves fell off. I have started over with a smaller one and some cuttings that have regrown. Everybody's doing well but still small. How long before the stems get Woody?

[@VintageDoggoDude]

When should I first prune my jade plant? I managed to get an accidental sapling from the main plant in our house and I'm proud that I've managed to get it to grow (And at the same time, revive every other succulent in the house) . it's approaching just over 3 and a half inches in height and the stem has begun to turn into its more bark like appearance at the base. I know it needs pruning soon but is just over 3.5 inches when I should begin? (I should also add that I'm relatively new to growing a plant from a sapling/seedling. I DID have a cactus once when I was younger but I uh... over watered it ^^;)

[@pandalover3556]

I have one that is 36 years old, it’s huge. I have so many Jade plant cuttings from that mother plant and so I try to give away cuttings every time I prune them.

[@EverythingPlants]

Wow! Id love to see a picture of your jade plant.

[@j0yce226]

Hello, my plant is really bending maybe because of the weight, how can I fix this? Thank you.

[@johnjohn40100]

Hi Jeff, do you know if it's possible to just do peat moss+compost manure, pine bark+sand as a soil mix? Or peat moss + perlite? I'm trying to make ke my own soil.

[@summershine5466]

Thanks for your super useful video . My fairly large jade looks healthy leaf wise but the stems are really I'd say bouncy and bending over a lot, as you mentioned in the video may need to be pruned ,but could I do that with it being September?

[@browneyedlady7544]

Can anyone advise best way to help a mature 12 plus year old Jade to straighten back up? I stupidly moved her into the porch a month earlier than usual and the shock I think caused her branches to droop. After I noticed this (1 day after moving) I moved her back into her usual ‘winter’ spot. Thank you for any help?

[@EverythingPlants]

Feel free to send a picture to my Instagram account at everything_plants_ca

[@browneyedlady7544]

I’ll do that now 😊

[@fraz1142]

I was told not to water it often and keep away from sunlight 😢 the leafs are soft and burning out thanks for the video I'll try to care for it

[@teresaoneal5254]

Just beautiful. 💚💚💚

[@EverythingPlants]

Thank you! 😊

[@Mao1949]

I have a 3 year old jade growing under a 20w Sansi grow light for 8-12 hours a day. Is that about average? Also, are grow lights the equivalent of direct or indirect sunlight?

[@NitinDhiman]

i had big jade plant but it look like it is not absorbing any nutrition. I have changed growing media as well. I do not overwater the plant. I have tried putting anti-fungal chemical (bavistine) as well to plant but not much help. It looklike plant is growing roots! Can we encourage rooting in such condition?

[@EverythingPlants]

Hello. Is it losing leaves???

[@NitinDhiman]

@@EverythingPlants no. But all leaves are turning wrinkled. New sprouts are not coming and whatever coming are very small.
