Water your jade plant only when the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil is dry. Avoid letting it sit in a saucer of water.

Watering

For jade plants, use a potting soil blend of organic materials like peat moss or coir, combined with heavier components such as sand or grit.

Soil

Jade plants prefer average temperatures ranging from 65-75°F (18-24°C), pick a spot that has relatively consistent temperatures.

Temperature

Use a balanced water-soluble fertilizer. Never fertilize your jade plant when the soil is dry, as this will damage the roots.

Fertilizer

Repotting

Watch for mealybugs, aphids, or scale. If you spot pests, gently wipe the leaves with a cotton ball or tissue soaked with rubbing alcohol
