With careful care, it can survive and does not require daily watering, as excessive watering can cause root rot and even death.
【One, How to grow Jade Tree】
Jade Tree is native to southern Africa, so it prefers dry and sunny places, and it is not suitable to grow in dark and damp environments. Therefore, the method of growing Jade Tree is actually simple, but it still requires careful attention from the grower, and the cultivation should follow the proper methods.
For this, the editor has also specially planned the cultivation methods for Jade Tree. First of all, to grow it well, you must choose well-draining soil, and when growing in a pot, it needs to be loose and breathable. Absolutely avoid excessive watering, as it can cause waterlogging in the pot, leading to root rot, so attention must be paid during the cultivation process.
【Two, Cultivation methods of Jade Tree】
<1. Soil selection>
Jade Tree does not have high requirements for soil, as long as it is loose and well-draining sandy soil. Do not choose coarse sandy soil as potting soil, as growing Jade Tree in this type of soil can easily lead to its death.
<2. Watering skills>
When watering Jade Tree, pay attention to the soil in the pot. If it is dry, you can water it; if the soil is wet, it is better not to water, as excessive watering can cause root rot due to waterlogging. However, in summer, you can water a bit more, while also paying attention to indoor ventilation and cooling to promote growth; generally, watering once every 7-10 days is sufficient.
<3. Fertilization management>
Jade Tree does not require much fertilizer, only needing more during the growing period. After it matures, you should control the amount of fertilizer, especially in summer and winter. You can choose not to fertilize during these periods because Jade Tree is in a dormant state and cannot absorb fertilizer. To control its height, you can use decomposed bean cake fertilizer, soybean residue, and other organic fertilizers as base fertilizer.
<4. Temperature control>
Jade Tree is shade-tolerant and can be kept indoors without direct sunlight or in a bright area with scattered light all year round. Maintain the room temperature at 6-10°C. High temperatures can cause leggy growth, leaf drop, or diseases and pests, while low temperatures in winter can promote bud differentiation. The plant enters a dormant state below 5°C.
