I was give a single leaf when I was 16 yrs old. I propagated that plant many times over the years. My original plant is just a hair over 4 foot tall and spreads out 5 foot. The trunk is a foot and half around at it's largest point. Of course it took 40 years and a lot of fuss but she's a beautiful thing. I hope yours does just as well. 🥰

Hi. Enjoy your videos. I have a number of Jade plants that all started from one cutting 35 years ago. Based on that I have a number of plants obviously and three or four of them are rather large but I have not been very good about cutting them back so I have some pretty thick branches with very few leaves and then a lot of growth at the top how aggressive can I be in pruning those back so that I can have healthier plants from the thick root.

Hi.. Love your videos!! Question .. Why did you add a rock to the drainage hole?

So when I water soil doesn't just flow out the bottom. You can also use a coffee filter and plastic mesh just to prevent soil from escaping, but still allowing excess water to flow out of the bottom

Thanks for sharing this information. I didn’t think they needed to be repotted that often, but I suppose all plants need a soil refresh after awhile. I’m glad you added the watering info at the end because I seem to always water my plants in after a repot but what you said makes a lot of sense. I never knew they were so easy to propagate but I’ve been watching you and now I have 5 Jades…a couple are very small from one leaf. I love tiny pots and will more than likely be selling some at our annual plant sale.

Fox farm happy frog, my plants love it but has caused me issues with gnats. Have you ever used mosquito bits or dunks? Going to buy some next payday. Try that repot the worst with pro mix again.

@@EverythingPlants I prefer the pro mix.

@@SweetNobody I will still use promix orchid bark. Thanks though and we will see how this fox farm stuff does

[@kaylakitty3814]

Mosquito Dunks/Bits work very well for fungus gnats. I prefer the Dunks to soak in water overnight as I can let the chunk of the Dunk dry and then reuse for the next treatment. The important thing is to treat your plants multiple times even if you no longer see the gnats. I usually treat the plant with the Mosquito Dunk tea for each of the next 4-6 regular waterings.

Sweet. Thanks .I'm sure nigle is proud haha

[@kbm4409]

How did you keep it growing and getting it's nutrients if you haven't changed soil in 3years?

[@EverythingPlants]

I will fertilize once a month when it's actively growing. I use the dyna grow foliage pro for most of my house plants including my Jades. It's a liquid fertilizer. You dilute it in water and give it the water and fertilizer solution only when the plant needs water.

[@hansdrubal1]

I have a question about jade propagation by leaf. Hope a somewhat off topic question is alright. I started 14 new jades from leaves about a year ago, each in their own little container, and they look to be doing great. Most grew out two or even three little trunks from the parent leaf base. My question is this: are those trunks one plant or multiple? If multiple will they crowd each other and if so should I try to separate or cut/pinch some out? If I need to separate I'd like to do it now while they are small.

[@EverythingPlants]

Hey Kyle, I believe those are all multiple plants and once they get maybe an inch height then you could probably separate them. I've never tried this before so I can't save for certainty that that is the case , but definitely give it a try and see what happens. Most of mine that I've propagated from a single leaf has gotten a single stem. Hopefully this helps...

[@hansdrubal1]

@@EverythingPlants Thanks. I will give it a try and carefully attempt to separate and see what is going, see if there are multiple root systems or just one. If each mini trunk is its own plant then I will get 23 jades from those 14 parent leaves! If the same root system then I guess I have plants that want to throw out multiple trunks.

I used to watch Nigel but I found it very disappointing. He would start our carefully snipping away as he pruned a tree but then ended up completely defoliating the tree. I would want to see trimming or pruning methods but he usually ends up defoliating. I mean if defoliating is what he wants to do instead pruning, fine, but I was looking for help in pruning and shaping. Defoliating is a very extreme thing to do and it does not need to be done that often. He certainly seems to do it quite a bit. Kinda strange.
