P L A N T C A R E
Light
Young plants should be kept in bright, indirect light; well-established plants can handle more direct light
Household and office spaces with divisions of just enough light are typically optimal
Jade plants kept in low light can become top-heavy, leaving them susceptible to damage if they fall over or become unable to support their branches
Water
Careful not to overwater, as Jade plants are succulents that hold a lot of water in their leaves
Will require watering more often in the spring and summer when the plant is actively growing. Water plant more significantly and wait until most of the soil has dried out before doing so again
Will not need much water during the fall and winter; may go dormant, causing it to slow or pause growth entirely
Soil
Plant does not mind being root bound to pot, which will keep it manageable
Commercially available potting mixes designated for cactus/succulent plants are fine
Infuse soil with a heavier organic matter, such as decomposed granite to allow water to drain thoroughly
Toxicity
Advised to keep pets away from the leaves, flowers, stems, and roots of the plant
Avoid contact with sap or thorns
Symptoms of skin irritation include itching or burning sensation
