JADE PLANT CARE
Jade plants (Crassula ovata) are popular succulents known for their thick, fleshy leaves and resilience. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you care for your Jade plant:
Sunlight
- Bright Light: Jade plants prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can scorch the leaves.
- Adjusting Light: Gradually introduce your Jade plant to direct sunlight if it's not accustomed to it to prevent sunburn.
Watering
- Infrequent Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Jade plants are drought-tolerant and prefer to be underwatered rather than overwatered.
- Watering Frequency: Water sparingly, usually once every 2-3 weeks, depending on environmental conditions.
Humidity
- Low Humidity Tolerance: They can adapt to low humidity levels typical of indoor environments.
Temperature
- Temperature: Jade plants prefer temperatures between 18-24°C. They can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from frost.
