Cultivation methods and precautions of Jade Leaf

Pot soil requirements

Jade plant likes fertile and loose soil with good drainage and strong air permeability. You can mix leaf mold with garden soil and add an appropriate amount of river sand.

As for flower pots, try not to use white porcelain pots. The editor has already experimented with it for everyone, especially the ones bought on the roadside for 5 yuan each. The air permeability is simply terrible. Plastic pots, clay pots, and purple clay pots are all good choices.

Temperature and light

Jade Plant likes an environment with plenty of sunlight, and its leaves will have a red glow in the sun. However, during the high temperatures of summer, it is necessary to provide shade in time to avoid strong sunlight, as the fleshy leaves are easily dehydrated and burned. In winter, ensure sufficient sunlight, place the plant in the sun, and keep the leaves green.

The most suitable temperature for the growth of Jade Plant is 15~25℃. It is not cold-resistant and the temperature should be controlled above 10℃ in winter. It is easy to get frostbite if it is below 5℃. The temperature should be controlled when leaving and entering the room to avoid damage to the plants caused by sudden changes in temperature.

Watering and fertilizing

The growing season of Jade Plant is from spring to autumn. You can water it more often to ensure that there is no water accumulation in the soil. During the hot summer season, you can sprinkle water around the plants to increase the air humidity. Control watering appropriately in winter and keep the soil in the pot slightly dry. It should be noted that when watering the Jade Plant, be careful not to water it unless the soil is dry, and it is better to keep it dry than to be waterlogged.

The method of fertilizing Jade Plant is very simple. Apply decomposed liquid fertilizer once half a month. If the growth is weak, increase the content of potassium fertilizer appropriately. Stop fertilizing in winter.

Repotting and pruning

The Jade Plant should be repotted every two years in the spring by cutting off the aging roots, replacing 1/2 of the original soil, and planting with new culture soil.

Jade Plant has strong germination ability and needs to be pruned regularly to ensure the beautiful shape of the plant. You can combine repotting with heavy pruning of the Jade Plant, cutting off all the weak branches and branches that affect the plant shape.

Precautions

Improve soil

When growing Jade Plants, you can add a few soybeans to the soil to improve the soil and release nitrogen fertilizer. In addition, when changing the soil, try not to mix sawdust, corrosive charcoal and other things into the soil, so as to avoid the indoor maintenance environment being stuffy and causing root rot.

Controlling temperature

In winter, move the Jade Plant indoors in time for maintenance, and control the temperature above 10℃. If it is not brought indoors in time, a large area of ​​leaves will fall, and a bare plant will not look very beautiful!
