[@CoffeeCakeCrumble]

I bought a jade somewhere around 1998. It grew into a monster, my dad wanted his own jade so I gave him a branch. Eventually the original plant died off (lack of light, bad parenting.) My dad's branch generated several more plants, a couple he gave to my brother. The plants my dad had died, but the ones he gave my brother thrived and turned into monsters like their parent plant. When my brother moved he had us come over and dig up plants we wanted before he sold the house, and he asked if I wanted the jades in the livin groom. Not turning that down, and now in 2023 I have a forest of jades that came from the original plant I bought 25 years ago!😊😊😊

My Jades are my favorite plants. I have one that is 3-4ft tall A friend gave me clippings 10yrs ago from her grandma's 30yr old plant. She calls it her friendship plant 💖 they're ment to be snipped and shared.

[@pimpozza]

My only problem with jade plants is.. I've got too many of them! 🤭 I can never bring myself to throw out broken branches and tend to stick them in other pots or in the ground.. and they grow everywhere and in any soil!! The mother plant is enormous now.. about 5 feet tall with a trunk I can't even get both hands around.. it flowers every December without fail.. a sight to behold.. just wish I could toughen up a bit when it comes to broken stems!! 😆💚 Great vid! Thanks, Mr Sheffield..

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

I know exactly what you mean 🤣

[@lgparker4726]

Do you water in winter. I was told not to if I wanted it to bloom; it never has flowered. But the plant is big and strong with dark glossy leaves.

[@pimpozza]

@@lgparker4726 Depending on where you live, Jade plants do much better outdoors.. It's so difficult (I have never yet seen it) to get them to bloom indoors as they need a good 8+ hours of sunshine and bright light, followed by a cool, dry period.. they don't exactly go into dormancy but definitely need those conditions.. Usually a house will be heated in winter and that definitely means no blooms! I used to bring my mother plant inside when it was smaller, into a bright *unheated* room, no water from end Oct/early Nov until early March. Now it's so enormous it's stayed outside for the past 5 years and I simply cover the pot and around the trunk to stop it from getting wet! It started blooming mid December and has just finished.. 💚 Jade plants often won't flower until they're very mature, even in the wild.. 4 or 5 years old and at least 20" tall. I don't know if it's a fact, but I find plants with the red edging on their leaves indicate they're getting just the right amount of light to bloom.. never had a perfectly green plant make even a bud! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Fascinating stuff though!

[@latoyaarceneaux6023]

There’s a lady that consigns plants at my local thrift store. This is an idea for some of your extra jades.

[@MissBlueLou]

Yay! You DID do a video about jades! I became foster plant mom to many of my daughter's plants. In addition to my already existing plants, I now have over 200 plants, and all of these I have cuttings waiting to grow roots and be their own plants and so forth. She had 4 jades and I have been driving myself nuts with the watering! I thought succulent... don't water! They store water in their leaves, so I would only mist when it seemed extremely dry, but then I'd think "well, a little water can't hurt it" and then it'd get soggy leaves, and I would panic thinking I over watered and I would go back and forth not knowing what to do! These jades are only part of her succulent collection, plus I had a few of my own too. It's good to know I can water anything with treated water, but only when the soil is dry, and from watching some of your other videos in addition to this one, I have an idea of how to propegate the Jade now too. Although I'll be re- watching those again before I try that myself. That's kinda scary to make that first cut. 😬 Anyway, the one thing I still need to learn well is how to fertilize what... and when... and who and who not and what...oh my. Thank you for your videos! They are helping tremendously and I love all your jokes.... it's a fun way to learn about plants. 😂

[@kxc77]

I have made the exact same mistake of underwatering my jade plant and the leaves started to become soft and mooshy. Which made me think that I overwatered and I waited even longer. Then some of the stems started to fall off. I dug out the roots and didn’t spot any rot so that’s when I realised I have been depriving my plant of water. So now I always water when the soil has completely dried out, and it’s never been happier!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great stuff 👍

[@bravobby8773]

My grandmother gave me a 2” cutting probably two/ three… maybe four years ago now, her plant has died off (it was a gift), but mine now stands at about 12in /30cm and I have at least three babies from that one 😅 I hope to keep it alive for a long long time!

[@oranjjetofu4054]

I basically made the same mistake with my trailing jade! Once I realized my grave error, she’s getting way more sun and care than I thought she needed!

[@susanlisson7066]

I was having exactly the same issue with my variegated jade. I kept thinking I was overwatering it but apparently it likes water almost daily! It gets water every 2nd day. I’m in Perth and our summers are very hot. 🇦🇺

[@viclarock5321]

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks!

[@damamae950]

me too. and it wasn't pretty. wondering also about drainage

[@kathleenkaufmann1265]

I have a monster jade that my dad planted many years ago. The house is now mine and the jade is still a monster. It gets plenty of water from the air conditioner drain in the summer. It is on the east side of the house. I have recently started a stem cutting for a house plant. After watching your video, I got a monster meter like you suggested. It has stopped me from over watering all my plants. Love watching your videos and your sense of humor has made learning fun. Keep it up!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great stuff 👍

[@susanlisson7066]

Yep, they definitely seem to do well with frequent watering. My Gollum was looking stressed & dehydrated with its once a week watering so I started watering it every 2-3 days during our summers here in a Perth. 🇦🇺I also noticed during heavy rain stretches in winter time it wouldn’t look soggy and ready to burst like many of my other more sensitive succulents did. I never had to coddle it and put it out of the rain. I should also mention I have always grown it & repotted it up in terracotta pots so it never gets drowned because of how the water evaporates away better in terracotta.

[@janine8933]

I have a jade plant that is outside, next to my front door. She is over 3 feet tall and loves being watered every week. She gets regular trims and a few months ago I trimmed about 4 inches off of her roots and gave her all fresh soil. I do wrap her in a blanket when frost is possible. I live in California, so most of the year she is just fine. 😎

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great stuff 👍

[@rachaelstar44]

I just got into larger Jades and was so happy to see you did one on them. Your commentary always cracks me up.

[@susanwilman182]

I agree, the water meter IS the best thing since sliced bread. I have enjoyed growing houseplants since the 70’s …and YOU my plant friend put me on to it, THANK YOU!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great stuff 👍

[@CatFish107]

Great tips. It actually is even simpler than using a gadget. Just give a jade leaf a gentle squeeze. Firm? Plenty of water in there. Starting to soften, AND the soil doesn't look moist, it's getting thirsty, give a good drink, and then check firmness a couple of hours later to see the change. Check the firmness of the leaves next day to get a sense of what it feels like when full of water.

[@MaineGirl97]

Just bought my first Jade. Here's to hoping I can keep her alive and kicking over the winter. Thank you for the helpful tips and tricks (that moisture meter is a life saver!)

[@Katiee0592]

Also, am I the only weirdo that apologizes to my plants when I cut them? I talk to them too 😂 tell them how beautiful they are and how much I love them. I do this because of the studies I’ve read that prove plants flourish under positive energy- which comes from their atmospheres, and yes taking nice to them is very beneficial to their growth. So if you’re in a toxic relationship, your plants feel that pain too and that’s why they’re not growing so well and vice versa 😂 no joke. I’m deadass about all of this, check it out for yourself!

[@tinkrtailr]

We had a monster jade plant for years, my grandmother had grown it and given it to my mom. Recently, against my wishes, my mom gave our jade away to a family friend. I was devestated! Or I was... until we found the tiniest little jade sprout next to where we had the original jade! I guess the jade didn't want to leave after all!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Score!

[@ekunina5410]

Awh. How kwel was that!!? How is the Baby Jade doing today? 🌱

[@cherie7100]

I went on holiday for 2 weeks...forgot to turn on the grow lights...upon returning back home all the larger lower leaves fell off. There is a lot of new growth though, so perhaps it was a good thing as it may start to branch out now... I have propagated by leaf and one has a pup this was from June time to now. I have them in perlite on my windowsill.

I just found a mini jade plant that must’ve flown into my yard during the hurricane. I love plants but idk much about this one so I’m on the internet learning. It still has its roofs attached, which is great. I want to keep it indoor. I read it needs bright light and lots of it, so perhaps it won’t flourish inside. But I’m gonna give it a spot in front of a big window and hope it grows well. Cute video, loved the Em rap part 😂 I’ve subscribed too 😅

I must be pretty good at growing Jade plants. 😊I have sold 2 that were over 3 feet high. When I pot up my Jade, I buy a clay pot and make a tag with date and price of pot.

[@lindsey4178]

I LOVE getting up to a new Sheffield video! This one was interesting. I ordered a tricolor jade a while back and when it arrived, it wasn't what I expected. I realized that it was NOT a tricolor jade. The only pink on it was at the very tip of some leaves (I'm assuming it was the anthocyanin). I'm happy with my verigated jade though, I do love the white and green swirl patterns. Thanks for another interesting video! Also, if anyone is trying to learn when their jade needs water and you don't have a moisture meter (you SHOULD get one though), pinch your leaves. There should be very little give. If the begin getting soft, even slightly, it's time to water.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for the tip 😁👍

[@blackburned]

I have a tri color jade too. It was also only white and green when I bought it. I've had it about a year now under bright grow lights and it has the old set of leaves, which are white and green, as well as two new sets that are white, red, and green. I suspect you have a Tricolor jade that didn't get enough light to bring out the third color, but is the correct species.

[@lindsey4178]

@@blackburned Thank you! I've never had nor seen a tricolor in real life so I appreciate your comment. I've seen some that the colors are very defined, almost as stripes (almost) but mine has a much more swirly, marbled appearance. As I said, I love it regardless. Lol. Maybe I'll try a stronger light for it.

[@blackburned]

@lindsey4178 interesting that you mostly have swirls rather than stripes on your leaves! It's cool how each plant is a little different. Mine has some swirls and some stripes. I noticed the underside and edge of new leaves are the first to start turning red if they get enough light. Good luck to you and your plant. Agreed they are beautiful with or without the red 😊

I would love to find a moisture meter that actually works properly. I did have one for years which worked perfectly but then finally stopped working. I purchased one which did not work at all, remained in the dry zone despite thoroughly watering. Returned it and purchased another one. Similar thing but not quite as bad, sometimes reads dry a lot so not sure now whether to really believe it. My parlour palm felt damp with my finger but bone dry with the meter. I will start looking for another one.

[@cecile436]

the video I needed. I was offered one of these, never wanted one, so I never bothered to look up the best way to take care of it. But even if I don't like it that much, I don't like to see it get black spots on its leaves and then dropping them.

Jade plant is the most easy plant to grow. If you make any mistake, it wouldn't take long to correct it. Mine blooms every winter with a lot of little, white flowers and I love it. In the summer it changes colours at sun and looks like a bonsai tree.

[@QueenGail]

[@ekscentar1]

@@QueenGail I'm in Zagreb, a capital of Croatia, so we have a standard continental climate conditions. But I must say that it is very important to keep a jade plant in the winter by the window and not on a temperature that exceeds 12 degrees of Celsius. I'm keepeing mine on the stairs by the small north Windows at 10 degrees only. It's always a problem for growers that they can't brag about the beauty of such plants in front of their friends and relatives, but that's why we have cameras. Love for the well-being of our plants should always surpass our vanity! It's the same with the Christmas cactus, it will go crazy with flowers in a cold place! If we move it to a warm room, all its flowers will fall within a few days. That cactus didn't give itself the name Christmas, we invented that ourselves, it's not his fault.

Read professional books, they will really teach you and give you much more enthusiasm than any modern bloggers. Out of 10 things on the Internet, I use only one, and 9 are suspicious or obviously incorrect.

Mr Shefffield I have recently watched a lot of your videos and learned so much thank you. You have inspired me to increase my small collection and also propagate some that I already have. Sometimes in the videos it shows you top watering and other times you bottom watering. Is there a reason why you do one rather than the other. Maybe I have missed the video explaining this. I love that you have taken the complicated part about when to water and made it easy to determine this. By the way my 6 year old granddaughter thinks you are so funny. 😀🇨🇦

[@rexaitken]

One reason to propagate from individual leaves is that there is an increased chance of multiple stems sprouting from one root system, a leaf I propagated after pruning early this year has grown into a baby plant with 5 stems! Maybe not always desirable but certainly unique.

Jade plants are very resilient. I moved from Southern California to Northern California which is wetter and has lower temperatures in winter. I brought my jade curly jade and gollum jades along and all are in large containers in cactus soil since the soil here is clay. They sit on a rock border under eaves of house 🏡 and surprisingly they have all adapted well to the climate change. They’re approximately 2 feet tall with trunks about 9 inches diameter and receive water during hot summer months and none during winter.

Richard now has this American referring to trash cans as ‘bins’ and my children look at me like I have 4 heads every time. 😅

It’s great

@verneukteaap it was made for me by a joiner

Hellooo amazing video! Just bought my first jade yesterday🥰 I have a question for the soil regarding propergation with the stems, should i use soil made for succulents? Or normal houseplant soil?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Soil made for succulents

[@überatzig]

@@SheffieldMadePlants thank youuu

[@thevahandbook]

I think I might put my Jades back into soil. I transferred them into succulent mix when I got them which is pretty much mostly gravel. Maybe I should repot them (they're small but healthy) and add more compost to the succulent mix....

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Either will work really. They'll be nutrients in the soil though

[@blackburned]

If you fertilize regularly it shouldn't matter. The biggest advantage I know of growing Jade in rich soil is that it can extract nutrients from it, but if you're fertilizing a nutrient deficient soil it should be the same

[@thevahandbook]

thank you! @@blackburned

[@Tony.795]

@@thevahandbook I would keep them in a mix rich in mineral components for sure. They naturally grow in rocky soil in South Africa.

Your video is amazing, thank you very much!

Glad you liked it!

I got one one of the new mini sansi clip on grow lights on my Jade. I also removed some 20 leaves since it's actively growing and was crowding itself. Ive only had these 3 wee tiny lights for about 9 days so all i can really say is my Maranta seems very pleased as does my string of bananas and tradescantia, the foot candles were around 1500 so i put one on my Jade. So far so good and despite having three very different leave types, paper thin, succulent and slightly thicker leaves I've got no burning on any of them. I also love that i can set them to be on for 12 hours and they come back on at the same time each day so I'm not having to turn them on. Sansi should sponsor me at this point since nearly every lightbulb in my house is Sansi 🤣 but for real, i get extremely bad migraines (the whole am i possessed types) and the Sansi bulbs and grow lights do not trigger them! That's a miracle in itself and makes the bulbs worth every penny (esp when i get a discount!)

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

That's great! Glad you're enjoying the SANSI lights. I keep adding more and more 😅

[@TJNKholyn]

I bought Jade plant last week ❤

[@eve-annetremblay1141]

Super helpful video, and entertaining! How often do you check your plants with the moisture meter? All plants or just jades? Thanks!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Every week and every plant

[@lawra89]

My jade plants' issues are that the leaves are curving down, growing into the stem, than breaking. My gollum jade is doing well though. I have them all in a west-facing window shelf.

[@pilagnes6356]

Great video. Can you advice on whats happening here? My jade plant dropped a lot of leaves and branches a drooping. It isnt too dry! I just checked soil and it is moist. Subtropical climate. No direct sun.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

How are the roots? Anything black?

[@LindaKieliszewski-jd5qu]

My jade keeps losing leaves, so I'm down to 2 weeks a good watering. The dumb meter type you showed wouldn't work, even in a watered plant, it never moved from dry setting.

[@Misses-Hippy]

Would a moisture detector, normally used on drywall and brickwork, also show humidity in soil?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Never tried that

[@realitycheck6]

I have and love my moisture meters!!

[@PaigeMustang]

Haha I love the yoga with Adrienne reference

When you started rapping Eminem, I lost it! 😂 Love your videos. Thanks for helping me take care of my plant babies. 😊

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@FHRider-o1m]

I have a bit more love for my jade now, it’s had the equivalent of a dad fringe hair cut ( he couldn’t be bothered with scissors, used his electric shaver and mowed my eyebrows off ) Is it just me or do all Chinese takeaways have gorgeous Jade plants in the window?

[@blackburned]

In China, where feng shui originated, jade plants are believed to bring good luck and fortune to the home or business it is in. You probably encounter Chinese homes/businesses primarily when you get Chinese take out which is why you associate them with that

[@FHRider-o1m]

@@blackburned that’s interesting thank you. I like to think it’s a unique talent handed down through the generations. I hadn’t considered the feng shui aspect of plant placement except that Ive been avoiding spiky cactus plants. One of my favourite KZbinrs is Cliff Tan of DearModern, clearly I need to study more. Sheff, any chance of a video on Feng Shui for our plant collections?

[@leokolev]

Love this plant! 🎉❤😊

[@toshabeans]

Question: My jade is really leggy. When i trim the branch and propagate it, will roots grow from nodes where some leaves used to be and have since fallen off? Or do i NEED to remove several of the few precious leaves? 😊

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

If the nodes are in contact with soil then yes roots will start to grow

[@QueenGail]

Good question thanks for asking Blessings 💜💚
