How to grow jade plant into an old tree

An old jade plant is a succulent plant that is older and larger in size. The leaves on the bottom consume more nutrients, and the branches become woody. If the leaves at the bottom of the jade plant are removed, causing it to grow too tall, the plant will slowly form an old stump over a long period of time.

The best time to dig up old stumps of the succulent plant Jade is once a year in spring or autumn. The value of an old stump of Jade ranges from a few yuan to dozens of yuan.

When caring for old jade plant stumps, the soil is very important. Generally, the pot and soil should be changed every 1-2 years to allow the roots more space to absorb nutrients and grow rapidly.

The old Jade Plant is a sun-loving plant. In spring, autumn and winter, it must be placed on a well-lit windowsill or terrace. This will allow it to grow quickly, convert more nutrients into the plant, and accelerate the lignification of the trunk. Every time the soil in the pot is half dry, water it thoroughly.

Pruning of old jade tree

The old stump of Jade Plant can be pruned when the weather is clear, and the overgrown parts should be pruned down, and the overcrowded branches, overgrown branches, weak branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, dead branches, old branches and cross branches, as well as diseased and old leaves should be cut off. After each repotting, the diseased roots, dead roots, and rotten roots should be cut off one by one to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients. Some overgrown branches can be topped.

Use pots for old jade plant

It is best to use a deep pot for old Jade Plants. Shallow pots are not conducive to old growth and the plants will not be strong enough. In addition, shallow pots are matched with granular soil. As long as the ventilation is good, the succulent pot will dry out quickly, which can easily cause water shortage.
