How to water Jade Plant in winter? Can it be pruned in winter?

1. How to water in winter

Jade plant is an evergreen plant and can continue to grow as long as it is provided with a suitable environment in winter. However, the temperature is relatively low at this time and water loss is slow. And the growth rate will slow down, so you must reduce the frequency and amount of watering. If the soil is not dry, you don't need to water it. Try to keep it slightly dry, which is beneficial for wintering.

If the soil is too dry, water it at noon when the temperature is high. Also pay attention to the temperature of the water, try to keep it close to the soil temperature to reduce damage to it. Water temperatures that are too low can irritate the roots. In addition, you must pay attention to the method and not pour it on the head. Let the water seep slowly along the outer wall of the flowerpot, and water thoroughly, not halfway.

2. Can I prune in winter?

Jade plant has strong growth ability and is also resistant to pruning. It can be pruned even in winter, but it should not be pruned heavily, as this will affect germination next year. When pruning, you should cut off dead branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, duplicate branches, and overly dense branches. Also, shorten the branches that are too long, and just cut lightly. Not only will it not affect the growth, it can also save a lot of nutrients, which is beneficial for wintering and growth next year.

3. Precautions for winter maintenance

It prefers sunlight, and the light in winter is very soft, so it should be placed on a windowsill with good lighting, preferably in full sunlight. This will not only increase its own temperature, but also encourage it to accumulate more nutrients. In addition, attention should be paid to stopping fertilizer treatment. At this time, the growth is slow and the nutrients in the soil can meet the needs. Fertilizers are difficult to absorb and can easily cause fertilizer damage.
