Jade plant pruning and propagating

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Jade plants are great for propagating and take to rooting in soil very easily. I’m using a combo of cactus/succulent soil and half bonsai jack gravel for my soil mix. Light 💡: If it’s growing too long and leggy, that tells you it’s not getting enough light. She can sit right underneath a grow light or your brightest window (at least 750 foot candles if measuring with a light meter) for at least four to six hours of direct sunlight a day. When growing Outdoors, she lives a space that gets direct sunlight for 2 hours a day but shade the rest of the time. It may also turn into a beautiful green/burgundy shade when sun stressed. If you found this helpful, consider following along for more plant care and plant projects. Leave any questions down below!

Some of my Jade plants top got torn off and I saved what I could and then the other day I look over and those top I didn’t save are still very much alive on the concrete 💀 it’s been three months lol

[@jade.legaulttrudeau]

That's ironically a description that fits me well

[@Kysery894]

@PlantswithKrystal the small cutting over there you squash it me sad poor cutting 🥺

[@YTnatethegreat]

You can put copper wire in the plants it helps them out a lot it's called electro farming.

[@cameronvanatti6629]

I didn't even realize that was my comment in the bottom corner when I first watched this one when it was posted 😂

[@erinstenback475]

I’m so proud of you for not laughing when you said “trimming your bush is very important” 😂😂

[@PlantswithKrystal]

I held it in! That’s growth on my part 😂

[@yanleoshay]

Omg, I came here to find a comment like this. I wondered if she did it in one take 😂

[@gabimontoya-eyerman596]

That's all right, we all giggled for you.

[@wisconsinaquatics]

It's very important to trim your bush

[@katykorby]

😂

[@metsl1870]

😂😂😂🤪😜🤭

[@JessicaSugarTankLarson]

Of course I find my other like minded person is another Wisco kid 😂 *cheers in old fashioned *

[@What_the_son_of_a]

Men of culture, we meet again

[@sillyswan3677]

My MIL recently gave me a jade plant cutting from her plant, so now I have my own little baby jade plant 🥹

[@roohalji125]

Gotta trim those bushes 😜

[@AlexWyrickMusicnMore]

ATTENTION: This is Krystals spring reminder to trim your bush people, get with the program

[@Imayhavebeenhere]

This is so inexplicably helpful, you have no idea!! My elderly neighbor had gifted me with a propagation of her absolutely beautiful jade plant a few years ago. She’s not here anymore but with your help my little jade will hopefully be as wonderful as hers was!

[@margarethernandez6006]

Trimming your bush keeps it looking lush, full and nice...😂😂 Love that shirt! Looks great on you.

[@cathys949]

There's nothing like a nice lush bush.

[@aliwilson4130]

Thank you so much for showing what a callus looks like! I see so often people recommending to let aloe or whatever callus but they don’t really show what it looks like or explain what that means.

[@Alex-sq7dx]

Just means that the wound is dried up so that moisture can’t enter and rot the plant

[@Outof...Context]

I was wondering how you got that bush so thick. That’s a genius idea, sticking them cuttings back into the soil.

[@czurbandanaz]

Haha irather shave but u right too hahah

[@juliat6407]

I have a cutting from my great grandmothers jade plant and I’ve been trying different ways of propagating. Right now the cutting is in water with a ton of roots and I also have some leaves propagating in soil :)

[@wendymoules7668]

Info on Christmas cactus would be helpful as mine is not in good condition 😢 x

[@veronicav2478]

I was recently given a very large Jade plant, I appreciate you showing how to trim and propagate it, gonna try it out this weekend, thanks! ❤

[@givepeasachance_]

This is helpful thank you. I was given a small propagation of a jade plant from a neighbor a few years ago and it’s finally to the point where it’s needing a trim.

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Happy I could help!

[@alexgaede359]

I got a cutting from my aunts jade. Now I hope to have my own bush. I still haven't gotten rid of the 'mother' cutting

[@laurenstofel9837]

My headphones weren’t all the way connected and my phone announced “trimming your bush is very important..” to my entire office 😅

[@KrayZky]

Girlfriend, I just trimmed my bush yesterday

[@liev_x]

Oh wow, it's not very often that I see such a full and bushy pot of jade!

[@Autumnstorm79]

She said “trimming your bush…” 🤭 (yup, I went there 😉)

[@katehenderson3708]

Thank you for your knowledge 😊

[@emiliehappyjack486]

Cutting your bush is important!! Love it!!! You are amazingly wonderfully funny!!

[@pp20173]

After you said " trimming your bush is very important"....i looked around like " nobody heard that but me?? Ok..😂"

[@MsTashaMae]

I managed to travel from Cali to Georgia with some succulents from my aunts yard. The jade I brought back is doing great.

[@bla9803]

And lush ....

[@made1Nbritian]

You can propegate the leaves aswell, I have an ungodly amount of jade plants training for bonsai since everything that gets pruned also gets propagated. You can also do the same with Portulacaria afra (dwarf jade)

[@RezqNinja]

Not me LMAO when you said “trimming your bush”-- 😂😳 Um, ma’am! 😂

[@ablueflower6003]

Which bush 😏

[@scotty2t28]

something i’ve found you can also do is propagating the cuttings by putting them in a small cup of water. You don’t have to wait for them to callus over either.

[@gina6432]

❤❤❤

[@barcaisbest10]

🌱🙌🏻

[@patriciabynumbaillargeon5040]

I love it I wish my jade plant looked as good

[@rickfromhell]

You've inspired me, I'm gonna water my biggest jade soon, and she's got some bald spots, so I'm gonna take some cuttings now to put back into the main pot when I water her in about a week or so.

[@ckarenpadilla5740]

I would love to be your friend & so I can get a baby plant to propagate!😅 It looks so beautiful😍, & you truly have given all your plants 🌱 major 𝓣𝓛𝓒! And I have found some major peace when I spend time in my garden!🪴 I enjoy your videos!🥰

[@camillarepsdorphbaadnielse364]

Can you do long videoes? Its so carming and teacherble to listen to you❤

[@andrewcatlin3590]

As you increase the pot size over time I would highly recommend a clay pot for something like jade. It’s not 100% necessary but it’ll help it dry faster. The larger the pot size the longer it takes to dry and the higher the chance of accidentally overwatering. Looks amazing though.

[@kathrenno]

I was really waiting for this to be a #manscaped ad after hearing, "trimming your bush is very important."

[@inia5529]

Trim those bushes!

[@Lillian2167]

Mine dropped some leaves which grew new tiny little Jade plants! It was a amazing to see. :3

[@cindyannefontenot]

“Trimming your bush is very important.” 😂😅😊😂

[@MrsQueenC]

You should try making a bonsai jade tree! They are sooo cool!! I want to do it when my props from my mom are big enough! 🥰

[@Rhondas_Flippin_Life]

How you didn't giggle or crack any jokes at all baffles me 😂 are you feeling ok? 🤣 I know I laughed and no jokes were said... Yes I'm immature 🤷‍♀️

[@jenmurakami6269]

My inner 12 year old came out when you said bush 😂

[@chloeellis1246]

Recently rescued a little baby twig of a jade plant who’s roots were entirely rotted, happy to say it’s been doing amazingly. Hopefully one day it’ll look like this! It’s currently about 3 inches tall

[@onism8906]

I LOVE jade plants but they take forever to grow that big lol idk how nurseries sell them for so cheap even though they took probably like a few years to grow. id never sell it.

[@marsbar2067]

I have a baby jade plant that I found growing in a small trees pot. I don’t know how it managed to grow there as none of the other plants in the office were jades but I love her and can’t wait till she grows this big😊

[@Hollywiththeflowers]

It’s true, trimming your bush is very important.

[@CGS21]

Any suggestions for a volunteer string of pearls? I found one in my yard today and was so excited!!!!😊

[@sandyhumissouri5131]

😳

[@katrinaapgar8620]

Have you tried air plants. I love them.

[@katiewilliams9273]

How long did it take to get this video done without laughing ?

[@user-bd5oz1ti5l]

That’s the most beautiful and crowed dickblatt plant I’ve ever seen and I’m so into her

[@PrisGuzman4]

My favorite thing about jades is that the leaves u remove to make a stem for a cutting can also be propagated and make teeny babies 😭😭😭💚💚💚🥹🥹🥹🥹🤌🤌🤌🤌

[@allysonbeaulieu7351]

okay you didn’t have to come for me with that first sentence 😅

[@jmanny1281]

Trimming the bush... That's a t-shirt for sure 😅😅😅

[@mysixsation]

"Trimming your bush"😅😂 immature I know. Nevertheless I now want to add a Jade plant to my collection. Thank you!❤

[@yuli7458]

Dear Krystal… I am your long lost bestie on Long Island NY!!! Encantada de conocerte!!! With this short demo you have unlocked a best friend feature to share your clipping with. Please let me know if you are interested in an emotional support plant group!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@PlantswithKrystal]

🫶🏽 thank you love!!!!! That’s so kind!!!

[@torquess454]

Also, if you trim the bush around your deck, it makes the deck look bigger! 😂

[@maaike25S]

"Trimming your bush" HA.... I swear I'm 29... Not 13

[@grahammayne587]

I could not have said that without laughing

[@005Amergin]

I love jade but am having a very difficult time with trying to start leaves to root.

[@JessicaSugarTankLarson]

As you get older, trimming your bush gets to be less of an issue or a priority 😅

[@PlantswithKrystal]

I can see how that can be strenuous 🫣😂

[@phenixwars1]

So you need to cut between the nodes right? Not right on the node?

[@benchmonster4863]

I heard that somewhere, but I'm sure they weren't referring to plants......

[@Bigreek100]

Allegedly, you can also make salves and such from the plant, so it can be consumed in a way

[@miriam4235]

But I don't want a full bush tho. 😭

[@Michelle-r5d]

“Aw yes the classic bush trimming💀”

[@sadiazulfiqar5090]

Which season is best for jade pruning?

[@annellepritchard-lee6647]

Gosh darn it, I didn't want my bush to grow all full and lush😮

[@Shuggies]

😅😅 I rarely ever trim my bush

[@fiashandmadesoaps3080]

I've had my Jade plant for a month now. It is too soon to trim? Should I wait for about a year? Help please.

[@femijnbas7208]

My jade plant just tried to end it all by jumping of the plank it stood on, I chucked it outside but apparently the spring sun here is still to extreme so now it’s back inside and burned 🙄 Can I not just cut most off and see if it recovers?

[@cortie23]

PLEASE HELP! I recently bought a monstera adansonii and all of its new growth looks burnt? The baby leaves are half black and dying. How do I fix it??

[@Brumoth]

What if my jade plant has roots forming around the leaves? It was a rescue from a local grocery store.

[@user-cn8ui2fx4k]

That sounds like it's thirsty😮

[@bla9803]

Does it really propagate alone ?

[@Hebrewhammer305]

I tell all my partners to watch this video to know the importance of keeping your bush trim

[@user-ub5rw5ps4o]

How to get rid of white stuff in soil

[@Mspuppylove212]

Ummm... phrasing!!! 😅😂😂😂😜

[@wearecreatorz5688]

What if I have 2 skinny branches? I see tiny growth coming in but she been skimpy for a while

[@sunnaakra3752]

Meanwhile i have one little jade leaf sprouting a babe , so small i just have it sitting in a lil soil in a clam shell😅

[@debbiethomas3687]

I'm so sorry, I couldn't help it, but your first sentence made me spit my coffee all over my desk! I'm not a schoolgirl, I'm 66 in everything but my mind!

[@LNico1203]

How long does it take to root? Im doing this same tbing for my elephant bush verigated plant but for the cuttings theyre all shrivley and each of the leaves look like fingerprints

[@user-cn8ui2fx4k]

Lay them on damp soil/coconut coir and warm window maybe not full sun. spray them like 1-2 times a week

[@JaytoVee]

Keep that bush tidy

[@Zo11228]

Hi, I am a new plant parent and my aloe vera is really mushy but the soil is really dry. Does that mean I should water it

[@moongoddess5858]

Unpot it and take a look at the roots. If they’re yellow and firm, they’re healthy; if they’re black and mushy they’re dead and cannot support the plant. If any of the leaves are healthy, you could try starting a new plant with them. Also, if the leaves are healthy, it’s possible that it’s not getting enough water.

[@ThatDurre]

My jade doesn’t have roots, just a stump. It doesn’t die but it hasn’t grown in over 2 years. Can someone explain what is happening?

[@kararosee47]

I’m so afraid to put mine outside because I don’t want to move it back in with bugs 🥴

[@heyna1185]

I used to have a Jade plant and sadly it died. 😔

[@amgadmedhat6211]

I thought its a manscaped ad

[@lindabarrow8]

I like mine to look like a tree, shows trunk!!

[@dorindastewart1375]

How did she say that with a straight face?! 🤭🫣🤣

[@BrainError]

Gotta look after that bush! 😏

[@amandamitchell7998]

We need to be friends I'm a crazy plant lady also

[@amyludington8478]

I need help with my Monstera...its the first one I've ever had and it is out of control it will not stop growing and on the verge of toppling over. It wont use the moss stick and the air roots are several feet long. Anyone with suggestions for me?

[@mrscurtis0801]

Did you attach it to the moss pole?

[@amyludington8478]

@mrscurtis0801 I tried but I'm not certain how to do it correctly tbh. I'm at a loss I actually didn't expect it to thrive so well! I'm thrilled of course...I was thinking of splitting a tomato cage open to clapse around it sorta and close again with ties...for support? Idk if that would work or harm it in any way tho

[@indiacoers2611]

18 hours later! Sorry I didn't see that!

[@mrscurtis0801]

Girl I cannot keep a jade alive 😢

[@rosannarichardson7951]

Gotta go trim that bush

[@Samantha-nx6sz]

New to plants and set aside two leaves of my succulent and they grew roots! I put them in the soil yesterday with other misc plants, but forgot and drowned those hoes this morning. Will they die?

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Only time will tell but they have roots so I would say, they’re good!

[@Samantha-nx6sz]

@@PlantswithKrystal Appreciate your content and help. Congrats 👏🎉
