Jade Plant is a long-lived succulent known for glossy green leaves and sturdy, tree-like growth. Starting in a 4-inch pot, it develops thicker stems and a branching shape over time, making it a charming windowsill plant now and a sculptural houseplant as it matures.

What you receive

Care guide

  • Light: Provide very bright light with several hours of gentle direct sun when possible. Introduce stronger sunlight gradually to avoid scorching.
  • Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. Water less often during winter or low-light periods, and never leave the pot standing in water.
  • Soil: Use a fast-draining succulent mix in a pot with drainage holes. Shop our Succulent & Cactus Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately; amend with pumice or perlite as needed for drainage.
  • Humidity: Average to low household humidity is suitable. Avoid constantly damp conditions and provide good airflow.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and protect from frost, freezing temperatures, and cold drafts.
  • Feeding: Feed sparingly during active growth according to fertilizer label directions. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Avoid overfeeding; reduce or pause during winter or inactivity and extreme heat or cold. Avoid feeding stressed or newly repotted plants.
  • Pruning and shaping: Prune leggy or crowded branches with clean tools to encourage a fuller shape. Careful shaping can create a bonsai-like form over time.
  • Repotting: When roots crowd the pot or the mix breaks down, move up one pot size into fresh fast-draining mix during active growth. Preserve the original planting depth and avoid a much larger volume of wet soil.
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings and healthy leaves can be propagated. Allow cut surfaces to callus before placing them in dry, well-draining succulent mix, then water sparingly after roots begin to form.

Pet safety

Jade Plants are toxic if ingested by cats and dogs and can cause vomiting, lethargy, or loss of coordination. Keep away from pets and children.
