Ripple Jade Plant Care

Jade plants retain plenty of moisture in their leaves, so there's no need to water them too often. Allow the soil to dry in between the waterings.

Hygienic trimming may occasionally be necessary to benefit the plant's health. Remember to use sharp, sterilized tools.

Use a slow-release fertilizer for container plants. Avoid using too much fertilizer, and stop feeding the plant during colder months.

A semi-shade location will do best for a Ripple Jade plant. Too little sunlight will make them unnecessarily stretchy. Coordinate the amount of light the plant is getting with the amount of water to avoid overwatering.

Opt for a rich, well-draining type. Consider adding some perlite to a peat-based potting mix.

The success rate of the propagation of this plant is very high both with cutting and with stray leaves. You can plant them directly into the potting mix and start caring as you would for a mature plant, but restrain from feeding for a few months
