Jade plant is mainly succulent and they do not like to sit in moist and soggy soil. So, between watering please ensure the soil is dry 1 to 2 inches on top. If the plant is indoor, you can water the plant once in 2 weeks as well depending on the soil.

Quick Tip- If you see blisters and leaves becomes soft and mushy it’s a sign of overwatering. So, stop watering completely till the soil is absolutely try.

Nutrition for Jade plant

You can add water-soluble fertilizer to the plant once every six months for steady growth. Also, as much as you prune the plant it grows that much. Never fertilize your jade plant when the soil is dry, as this will damage the roots.

The Jade plant is of utmost ease to multiply. Just break off a piece and let the bottom sit inside the mud. You can also dip it in honey and then apply cinnamon powder for quick rooting.  Or you can use rooting hormones specifically for propagating plants. In fact, the jade plant can also grow just by putting the broken leaf inside the mud and wait for the base to grow.
