Yellow leaves can be a sign of over-watering. Make sure your jade plant isn’t sitting in water. Let the soil dry out before watering again to prevent root rot and restore the plant’s health.
If your jade plant is getting leggy, it might not be getting enough sunlight. Move it to a brighter location with indirect light to encourage healthy, compact growth and a fuller appearance.
Use a well-draining pot with drainage holes. Jade plants don’t like sitting in water, so good drainage helps prevent root rot and keeps the plant healthy for longer.
Jade plants prefer temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Avoid placing them in areas with drafts or sudden temperature changes, as they are sensitive to extreme cold or heat.
Fertilize your jade plant during the growing season (spring and summer) using a balanced, diluted fertilizer. This helps promote healthy growth without overwhelming the plant with nutrients.
To keep your jade plant bushy and compact, prune it regularly. Cut back leggy stems to encourage new growth, which will help maintain its attractive shape and overall health.
Calatheas are non-toxic to pets, making them a great choice for households with curious animals. You can enjoy their beauty without worrying about the safety of your furry friends.
