How to Care for the Plant

Water
During the summer and spring, jade plants should be watered often so that their soil is moist but not wet, making sure drainage is immaculate. Reduce your watering to monthly in the winter. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, pour off any excess water after a few minutes—never let your jade plant sit in water.
Pruning
Occasionally
Fertilizer
Many people underfeed their succulents during their growing season. For the most successful jade plant, feed it with a controlled-release fertilizer at the beginning of the season or weekly with a weak liquid solution. Use a balanced 20-20-20 fertilizer at one-quarter strength on mature plants, and a fertilizer with less nitrogen on young plants.

Sunlight
Silver dollar jade grown indoors performs best with at least four hours of sunlight per day, which brings out the red tint in the leaves. During the winter, a window facing southwest or southeast is ideal. A window facing directly south may be too intense unless the light is filtered by a sheer curtain.
Soil
Soil pH: Acid, Alkaline, Neutral
Temperature
Jade plants do best with daytime temperatures between 65 and 75 ° F, and nighttime temperatures between 50 and 55 ° F. During the winter months, protect plants from drafts and do not let their foliage touch windowpanes. Jades prefer the full sun or bright filtered light of a south-facing window.
