Jade Plant are a very common house plant, yet they’re also sort of mysterious.

Jade plants, also known as money trees or friendship trees, are a very common house plant. They can also be somewhat mysterious. Although they’re quite common, people aren’t always sure how to take care of them and what soil to use for a jade plant.

There are many different types of succulent plants (which is what jade plants are). Succulents come from all over the world: North America, South America, Africa and Australia all have their own varieties! The succulent family is so large that there are thousands of different kinds—so it’s no surprise that some might be hard to tell apart at first glance.

Here are some tips on how to care for your jade plant.

Jade plants are easy to care for and will reward you with beautiful foliage and blooms.

Jade plants are known for their beautiful leaves, but you may also be surprised by their showy flowers. Jade plants offer a wide range of hues, from white to yellow to orange to red and even pink! If you’re looking for an indoor plant that won’t take over the room, this one is perfect: jade plant has trailing stems that make it ideal for hanging baskets or other containers where the plant can spill over the edge. That said, it’s not as fussy about soil type as many other houseplants—so don’t worry too much about getting them exactly right.

When you start to see some new growth, it’s time to repot the plant.

As your jade plant continues to grow, it will eventually outgrow its container. When this happens, it’s time to repot the plant. Repotting is a good way to keep your plant healthy and prevent root rot by providing more space for roots to grow, as well as adding new nutrients into the soil. The process also promotes new growth.

If you’re unsure when’s the right time to repot your jade plant, look for signs of new growth on the branches or leaves first. This can be difficult if you don’t know what kind of soil your plant is in (more on that below). You may even see new shoots popping up around where they were previously tucked behind other leaves and branches! Once you’ve seen any signs of new growth, give your jade plant some room by moving it into a larger container with fresh potting soil (you can use our guide here).

When you’re getting ready to repot the next spring, be sure to use a well-draining soil mixture and a pot that allows enough room for the roots to spread out.

If you’re planting your jade plant in its permanent home, choose a container that’s at least 10 inches across with holes at the bottom for drainage. Jade plants are not fussy about their soil conditions but they do like lots of water and don’t like being too dry. Soil should be porous enough so that it drains but still retains some moisture so that it doesn’t get too dry while also having enough nutrients for growing healthy plants.

The best way I’ve found is by using a clay pot from Ikea with drainage holes on the bottom of each side; this keeps excess watering from getting into areas where it shouldn’t go (like under your floorboards). Using regular plastic pots may cause problems later on down the road when you decide whether or not moving them around will work with their setup since there aren’t any holes for draining liquids off!

If your plant starts shedding leaves and looks unhealthy, check the soil before watering.

If you notice that your jade plant is shedding leaves, it could be a sign that the soil is too dry. If this happens, first check to see if the potting mix is dry. If so, water it with warm water and let it drain before placing the plant back on its pedestal or table.

If your jade plant has been in the same location for an extended period of time (more than a few weeks), it may need more light than what’s coming through your windows right now. Jade plants thrive when given ample indirect sunlight, so consider moving yours near or under window coverings that let in natural light but block direct sun rays.

It usually means the roots are sitting in water and have rotted due to overwatering.

It usually means the roots are sitting in water and have rotted due to overwatering. If you notice your jade plant has a black spot or two, it’s probably gone too long without water. It could also be a sign of root rot if your jade is sitting in water.

If you’re seeing this on your jade plant, take it out of its container and give it some air! Drain any excess water from its container, put some potting soil in there instead and repot the plant into that new substrate. You may need to trim back some of the dead leaves at this point since they won’t grow back anymore after being exposed to light for a while–don’t worry though! As long as everything else looks healthy (no brown spots), then it should be ok after being re-potted with fresh soil!

If this happens, remove the plant from its container and gently wash away the old soil from the roots.

If this happens, remove the plant from its container and gently wash away the old soil from the roots. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe away any dirt that remains on the surface of your jade plant’s root system. Be sure to remove all of the old soil from around your plant’s roots! Do not use any harsh chemicals or soaps when cleaning your jade plant’s roots; they may damage their delicate tissues. You also should not use any sharp utensils when cleaning out your jade plant’s container because this could hurt them as well.

Everyone can grow their own healthy and happy jade plants!
