how to prune and water jade plant + 3 week pruning update 

That is so awesome to hear Norma!!! This is why I love making these videos.

Yay! That is so awesome to hear.

Thanks so much, Bob!

You can do it Diann!

I'll be making another video soon

Thanks again Jillian! Do you watch every video of mine???

How long have you had your plant for?

The woody stems come naturally as the plant grows and ages. Pruning itself doesn't necessarily give you the woody stem....it hardens up the older it gets!

Thanks Millette and yes, great summer so far. It is going way too fast though. Thanks for asking. What about you?

Thanks Mariana! Do you have one?

@@EverythingPlants Yes l have a big family of them!!! I love them !!! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

It is very addicting once you have a first successful prop! I have given away a ton of cuttings over the years 🤣 Congrats on your success.

I honestly don't pay attention to the leaves. If they remain wet they may not root and may actually rot. That's why it's a good idea to place them on a seperate pot or tray....but you don't have to.

Thanks Hope! These are special plants. How long have you had yours?

@@EverythingPlants I honestly can't say - it's gone between me and my mother for several years when we've been moving! It's probably at least 5 years old but it is tiny cus we didn't give it great care...

That is so awesome L Leo!!! Thanks so much for sharing this....these are my favorite type of comments!

I have my old main large Jade plant under a grow light. It is doing absolutely amazing! You should definitely get one and give it a try. I know you wouldn't regret it!

@@EverythingPlants so what you're saying is I need a beautiful Jade bonsai with bright lighting to fill my home with light and peace? Possibly a meditation corner? 🤔 Have you tried those halo looking grow lights? I think they get poked into the substrate and then look like an angel halo above the plant. I've seen them on Amazon and thought it was interesting but not for my tall plants, but it may actually be perfect for something like a Jade 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have another one coming out next week too!

@@EverythingPlants sweet! Can't wait 😜 Hey, do you have any videos coming out for specific Alocasia's?

@@TheRaychalRay nothing planned, but what would you like to see in one?

@@TheRaychalRay I actually changed the video release to tomorrow (Friday)

I wouldn't go too large for jades as they typically don't need large pots. I'm not sure the size of your Jade so I can't recommend a pot size.

thanks

As long as there are a couple nodes underneath the soil and it remains upright then you're good to go

Nothing....it could be from higher humidity is your environment or it may be needing some water. If the leaves are nice and plump then it is fine

Bury a node

Hey Dionne. When potting a stem cutting just make a hole and depending on the size of the cutting, make sure there is enough stem so that it remains upright. That's pretty much all I do. Usually there will be at least a node or two covered and that is fine. Does this help?

Yup! The gollum jade has different leaf orientation, but the process is the same for all of them.

Yes, I did in the video!

If your care hasn't changed then you could definitely leave it if you wanted. Jades make wonderful bonsai plants because of their small root systems and can tolerate small pots. If you are noticing leaf drop or having to watering more frequently then normal....consider repotting. If everything is okay then you can just leave it alone to grow! Is it one stem or multiple in one pot?

My oldest one is in a terracotta pot. I don't water it until it's completely dry. I use a chopstick. It has dropped a couple of leaves and they're showing growth. I've just left them in the pot. The other one is still in its plastic pot and it's just packed so much that I can't even see the soil. I'm interested in bonsai. Also, I've got an elephant bush succulent. I've moved to Michigan from Ohio to live with my mom. She's 91 years old, legally deaf, and has had two aorta valve replacements. All my potting supplies are in Ohio. We're planning on making a trip down there. My husband's been taking care of my plants, but he's not a good plant person. Hopefully, they're still alive. I even left him with care instructions.

I used to have a variegated one, but I had to thin out the collection as I had way too many. There are the 4 (mother plant, my cutting and my two kids cuttings) that I couldn't part with. I also have another pot with multiple stem cuttings that I wanted to keep...oh and plus I have the gollum jade. Hahaha

@@EverythingPlants ♥️🌱

Thanks?!?! 🤣 It's really and it's spectacular
