Nurserymen’s secrets to keep succulents more resistant and easy to propagate
Succulents are known for their beauty and ease of care, but choosing the right one can be a challenge! Among the options, the Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) stands out for its hardiness and ease of growth.
1. Watering and hydration: The Jade Tree requires little water, especially in winter when watering should be limited. In summer, keep the soil slightly moist, avoiding any excess that could damage the roots. It is essential not to wet the leaves to prevent them from rotting.
2. Regular transplanting: This fast-growing plant appreciates being repotted every year, preferably in spring. This promotes root development and ensures healthy growth of the plant.
3. Light adaptation: Although it loves bright light, avoid placing the Jade Tree directly under the burning sun to avoid burning its leaves. Gradually accustom it to direct light to avoid any damage.
4. Optimal Temperature: The jade tree thrives in warm temperatures. In summer it can be placed indoors or outdoors, but protect it from extremely high temperatures. In winter keep it indoors where the temperature does not drop below 13 ° C.
5. Leaf Care: To ensure good photosynthesis and efficient respiration, regularly remove dust from the leaves with a soft cloth or brush. This prevents the accumulation of dirt that could compromise the long-term health of the plant.
By following these simple tips, your jade tree will thrive and decorate your space with its graceful silhouette and lucky round leaves. For more information on succulent care, explore our other gardening tips!
