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