Like other succulents, Gollum Jade are sensitive to overwatering. Ensure that the soil completely dries out before watering again to prevent rot. You can do this by sticking your finger in the top 2.5 cm or inch of soil: if it feels dry, you can water. Otherwise, wait a few more days.

Water

Needs 12-18 hours of indirect sunlight.

Loam soil facilitates plant growth in three key ways. Aeration: The varied particle sizes in loam create a loosely-packed soil that allows oxygen to flow freely to plant roots. Nutrient retention: The presence of clay in loam ensures that nutrients cling to the soil, rather than being washed out by water.

Soil

Use slow-release fertilizer for container plants. Avoid using too much fertilizer.

Fertilizer
