this is why I'm cutting off the roots on jade plant

[@ClaireSiconolfi]

I seriously LOVE your Jade-hacking videos. There’s something so very satisfying about them. 😂

[@CindyC178]

😂

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks! I've been wanting to do this one for awhile now 🤣

[@donnarie101291]

My Jades get those black dots and corky patches also. I noticed that my Gollum jade is less prone to issues than my regular Jades. Also, just a quick tip i picked up.....I like to bottom water deeply a few days or so before i do my root surgeries. This way the plant is well hydrated and it allows me to let it sit in its new DRY soil for a few days/weeks before the next watering and that gives the roots a chance to heal.....Thanks for another great video!🌵

[@EverythingPlants]

Normally I try and remember to water at least the day before.....thanks so much for watching!!!

[@lynnshirley]

flexible is a good word to describe the leaves when they need to be watered. Enjoyed your video very much, as always. Thankyou.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks Lynn!

[@krisfarnsworth620]

Early morning post on a Saturday? Yes, please!

[@EverythingPlants]

You got it! Lol

[@kc7brj]

Thank you, great instructions HINT: Make a few new, "Root Rakes" from old dinner forks! Take plyers and bend the tines to a 90 degree angle and poof you have a rake. The other end can be use to probe soil too.

[@EverythingPlants]

Love it! Thanks for this comment

[@mn4169]

I have just fixed mine. They are old, and I tend to neglect them, or rather let them rest far to lobg, but I felt that my biggest needed some tlc. Great info, thanks❤

[@fusion4262]

I had no idea that you could reinvigorate a jade plant with such severe treatment. Thank you.

[@EverythingPlants]

I always say to do this with caution....I'm comfortable with this and understand my conditions. You definitely don't need to prune and chop the roots like it did

[@peacefulGHILLIE]

check out some of the people that bonsai jade's, such as jelle @growingbonsai They can handle quite alot, but you need to read the plant, and be patient if the conditions are not ideal for more invasive work.

[@helenstewart4050]

Thanks Jeff fantastic walk through of keeping it in same pot is possible!

[@EverythingPlants]

👍thanks for watching!

[@Nat-cj4ff]

I love your Jade videos. You inspired me to finally purchase a Jade (a very cute tiny one) yesterday.

[@rodadelossantos6194]

Thank you for the encouragement to prune my jade plants...it's really the best thing I've done for one of my oldest jade plant that was suffering from some sort of leaf fungus and was getting a bit leggy!!! Waiting for more leaf growth before I repot which I haven't done for at least 5 years, maybe 6!!!

[@EverythingPlants]

Im so glad to hear that it has been positive for your jade. Out of all the comments I get, I don't think I've ever had someone say it was terrible for their plant hahaha

[@Alexinrobots]

What I was looking for thanks ❤

[@EverythingPlants]

Glad I could help

[@katiewilliams9273]

Your spiritus in the background is beautiful. Great job

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks! It's been growing so well

[@susannewlove2115]

Learned something new; thanks!

[@EverythingPlants]

You're welcome! I hope you found it helpful.

[@katiewilliams9273]

Many, many years ago I had a big beautiful jade and it ended up getting black spot. I couldn't stop it and it killed it completely, so hopefully you have better luck than I did . Good luck

[@EverythingPlants]

Was it the tiny black dots like that?

[@katiewilliams9273]

@EverythingPlants ya, it just spread so fast. Hopefully it's not the same as yours or your able to get rid of it better then I did

[@Lilithliin]

Thank you!

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks for watching

[@HatchlingChibi]

I'm so glad I found your channel Jeff! I was gifted a large, beautiful silver dollar jade last month and have been learning from you since on how to care for him. I have discovered spider mites of it this week, do you have any advice or tips on how to get rid of them without hurting the jade?

[@EverythingPlants]

I posted a reply.....now its not showing

[@marialakshmi2330]

11:56 The leaves should have a little give, then you should water 🚿 Water 24 hours after repotting if your plant is dehydrated 🚿

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks for the comment! I water my plant only if they needed to be watered after repotting

[@MariaSanchez-ym8nr]

Hi can you suggest something to get rid of flying nets .

[@lisaanglim9588]

I think the scabby things are scale. That’s what I found on my ficus years ago

[@EverythingPlants]

No, this is not scale. It is physical leaf damage or "crusting"....I am guessing that it was caused by pest or fungus?!?!?

[@renatecormick7399]

Have you noticed any difference in the leaf size that the plant is producing after a serious root prune.

[@veronikayup]

Hi and ... have you checked the dishwasher/cutlery drawer for the root rake? I know I've forgotten it in the kitchen after washing it before! The plant looks great, and I'd like to tell you that after your advice, my hacked-off jade is growing well too, and the trunks are developing nicely, and getting thicker. I suppose it's time to repot it soon as well! Thank you for a helpful video as always!

[@EverythingPlants]

I will check it out! Haha

[@minglee4121]

Is this like making a bonsai tree ? Would this work for a money tree , pachira aquatica? Just curious 👀. Great video as usual. Have a great night.

[@ritaglica8317]

Had my jade for 6 years, it’s large and the branches are very long and spidery, is that normal? Love your video!

[@lynnshirley]

you need to watch ALL Jeff's Jade videos. They are so helpful.

[@EverythingPlants]

Could be from just leaf loss of the years or from not receiving enough light. Feel free to send me a picture to my Instagram account so I can have a look

[@GreenWitch1]

Brutal! 😂

[@EverythingPlants]

Brutal as in a good brutal? LOL

[@GreenWitch1]

@ It’s a Jade so it can handle it.

[@EverythingPlants]

@@GreenWitch1 Oh yeah no problems at all LOL

[@joyb3714]

Thanks for the video! I learned a lot. One question - the succulent mix you used looks like it’s comprised just of rocks and gravel. Does it contain any “dirt soil”?

[@EverythingPlants]

No soil. It's just a mixture of different gritty rocks. This is from the website 'The mix includes Akadama, orchid bark (fir), lava rock, Hyuga, pumice stone, mycorrhizae and beneficial bacteria (Rhizobacteria).'

[@joyb3714]

@ Thanks. That blows my mind 🤯!

[@nataliewilliams9741]

I've had bad experiences with replacing soil. I almost always end up losing the plant anyway.

[@EverythingPlants]

With any plant or are you talking about Jade plants?

[@nataliewilliams9741]

@EverythingPlants With any plant.

[@fbacher5418]

You have given me the courage to chop my infected jade plant in October but it does not look like yours. Some of them have become shriveled at the top where I chopped it. Should I leave it or cut it down some more? Enjoy your videos!

[@peacefulGHILLIE]

I'd let it shrivel back down the stem. The plant will seal off at a node and then in a few months the dried dead bit will break off. Only cut back more if the living tissue becomes infected and keeps spreading. Warmth will help the plant to heal the wound. good luck!

[@oneimaginarygirl5]

Hi Jeff! One of my jades has oedema. I have let it dry out completely now. Is it okay to prune all the damaged leaves and stems? Thank you!

[@GreenWitch1]

Well, he just did so it must be ok

[@oneimaginarygirl5]

@ sure, but his didn’t have oedema!

[@MariaSanchez-ym8nr]

Hi Jeff, I’ve been having some problems withmy poths plant is getting yellow leaves a lot which has never happened before. Do you have any recommendation? What to do?

[@EverythingPlants]

Hello. I know most people say over or under watering, but I find when a plant starts to lose lots of leaves it could be root bound. Take it out of the pot and have a look!

[@ribanshukeshri8711]

Brave root prune! Hows your gollum doing?

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks and they are all doing great!

[@torquess454]

Those really tight root balls I’ve tried soaking in warm ish water for a while to try to loosen it, sometimes it works, sometimes I have to shave the sides as well as the bottom How many pencils do you go through say, in 6 months? Lol

[@milankatz9628]

Use a hack saw or serrated bread knife. Works for me. I always cut my root balls in half.

[@mollys1584]

How about watering the plant when the leaves are very pliable (instead of soft or mushy). Maybe better descriptor?

[@EverythingPlants]

@@mollys1584 that's the word I'm looking for LOL

[@mollys1584]

@EverythingPlants Great! We all knew what you meant...but figured I'd throw that out. Great video. BTW I've accidently cut off 1/2 the root ball instead of a third and never had a problem with the plant.

[@JozefBajorek]

Daj język polski.

[@catl4969]

kzbin.infoSkRFmuB7Hac?si=GBh80SAeYCho96Cg i sent you a comment today about if you could only see my jade because mine needs help. I've sent you a shorty video of my jade. Any advice I'm sure will help on trimming it. Thanks (cat L)

[@EverythingPlants]

@@catl4969 it's got a lot of character! That is what I was going for with this plant before it got bug damage lol I was going to see how crazy it could get What are you wanting yours to look like?

[@catl4969]

@EverythingPlants I'm not sure, if it looks ok the way it is to you I'm good. But i have been taking clipping from it for years now and at my office there must be 15 jade plants. LOL The only thing is will the plant die because the way the branches are hanging. Thanks

[@EverythingPlants]

@catl4969 nope. You can still trim them back if you want... They will branch out further but it won't die from long branches. Sometimes you might get a branch that breaks due to weight but I've never had that happen with any of mine.

[@MariaSanchez-ym8nr]

Hi Jeff, I’ve been having some problems withmy poths plant is getting yellow leaves a lot which has never happened before. Do you have any recommendation? What to do?

[@EverythingPlants]

Check the roots! People will always say it's either under or over watering, but a lot to forget to check the roots.... You start losing leaves if it's root bound.
