I know exactly what you mean 🤣

Do you water in winter. I was told not to if I wanted it to bloom; it never has flowered. But the plant is big and strong with dark glossy leaves.

@@lgparker4726 Depending on where you live, Jade plants do much better outdoors.. It's so difficult (I have never yet seen it) to get them to bloom indoors as they need a good 8+ hours of sunshine and bright light, followed by a cool, dry period.. they don't exactly go into dormancy but definitely need those conditions.. Usually a house will be heated in winter and that definitely means no blooms! I used to bring my mother plant inside when it was smaller, into a bright *unheated* room, no water from end Oct/early Nov until early March. Now it's so enormous it's stayed outside for the past 5 years and I simply cover the pot and around the trunk to stop it from getting wet! It started blooming mid December and has just finished.. 💚 Jade plants often won't flower until they're very mature, even in the wild.. 4 or 5 years old and at least 20" tall. I don't know if it's a fact, but I find plants with the red edging on their leaves indicate they're getting just the right amount of light to bloom.. never had a perfectly green plant make even a bud! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Fascinating stuff though!

There’s a lady that consigns plants at my local thrift store. This is an idea for some of your extra jades.

@@latoyaarceneaux6023 We don't have "thrift stores" here in Italy, Latoya.. but I have given many away to friends and neighbours.. 👍

Thanks!

Great stuff 👍

Thank you 😊

Great stuff 👍

My grandmother gave me a 2” cutting probably two/ three… maybe four years ago now, her plant has died off (it was a gift), but mine now stands at about 12in /30cm and I have at least three babies from that one 😅 I hope to keep it alive for a long long time!

I basically made the same mistake with my trailing jade! Once I realized my grave error, she’s getting way more sun and care than I thought she needed!

I was having exactly the same issue with my variegated jade. I kept thinking I was overwatering it but apparently it likes water almost daily! It gets water every 2nd day. I’m in Perth and our summers are very hot. 🇦🇺

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊. I agree community is great!

@@gailtalley8037 I'm in Zagreb, a capital of Croatia, so we have a standard continental climate conditions. But I must say that it is very important to keep a jade plant in the winter by the window and not on a temperature that exceeds 12 degrees of Celsius. I'm keepeing mine on the stairs by the small north Windows at 10 degrees only. It's always a problem for growers that they can't brag about the beauty of such plants in front of their friends and relatives, but that's why we have cameras. Love for the well-being of our plants should always surpass our vanity! It's the same with the Christmas cactus, it will go crazy with flowers in a cold place! If we move it to a warm room, all its flowers will fall within a few days. That cactus didn't give itself the name Christmas, we invented that ourselves, it's not his fault.

Very nice. Never got mine to bloom

@@ekscentar1 Wow, thanks. I had a Christmas cactus that bloomed twice for me, then I moved it into a warmer room because I adopted a cat and no more blooms it lasted a couple of years withering away slowly 🥺until it finally bit the dust so to speak, thanks again for sharing your knowledge Blessings 💜💚

@@gailtalley8037 To be honest, everything I learned about growing plants I learned from excellent specialist books long before the internet. I notice that there is a lot of misinformation on the Internet that only confuses people and leads them astray. It seems like we live in a time where everyone is just trying to disprove everything that has been scientifically proven before internet exist. Read professional books, they will really teach you and give you much more enthusiasm than any modern bloggers. Out of 10 things on the Internet, I use only one, and 9 are suspicious or obviously incorrect.

My pleasure 😊

It’s great

Glad you enjoy it!

Thanks!

Thank you kindly!

You bet!

Thanks

Good luck!!

Thank you!!

Thanks for the tip 😁👍

I have a tri color jade too. It was also only white and green when I bought it. I've had it about a year now under bright grow lights and it has the old set of leaves, which are white and green, as well as two new sets that are white, red, and green. I suspect you have a Tricolor jade that didn't get enough light to bring out the third color, but is the correct species.

@@blackburned Thank you! I've never had nor seen a tricolor in real life so I appreciate your comment. I've seen some that the colors are very defined, almost as stripes (almost) but mine has a much more swirly, marbled appearance. As I said, I love it regardless. Lol. Maybe I'll try a stronger light for it.

@lindsey4178 interesting that you mostly have swirls rather than stripes on your leaves! It's cool how each plant is a little different. Mine has some swirls and some stripes. I noticed the underside and edge of new leaves are the first to start turning red if they get enough light. Good luck to you and your plant. Agreed they are beautiful with or without the red 😊

Interesting. Not seen it myself yet

A blessing in disguise maybe

Great stuff 👍

Sounds great! You too

✝️👍

🤣

That’ll work 👍

I love propping these.

Haha Thanks!

Richard now has this American referring to trash cans as ‘bins’ and my children look at me like I have 4 heads every time. 😅

@@amberscott7831 haha it’s bin all the way here

😂

Thanks! I generally bottom water but show both in the vids

You’ve got this ✊

Ooo great idea. 2 is always better than 1

One is for the upstairs plants and the other for the downstairs plants. Use it more often than expected, great tool.

🤣

You bet!

Thanks! They sure are

Never seen one flower before 🤯

That's great! Glad you're enjoying the SANSI lights. I keep adding more and more 😅

I know right 😂

Great stuff 👍

In China, where feng shui originated, jade plants are believed to bring good luck and fortune to the home or business it is in. You probably encounter Chinese homes/businesses primarily when you get Chinese take out which is why you associate them with that

@@blackburned that’s interesting thank you. I like to think it’s a unique talent handed down through the generations. I hadn’t considered the feng shui aspect of plant placement except that Ive been avoiding spiky cactus plants. One of my favourite KZfaqrs is Cliff Tan of DearModern, clearly I need to study more. Sheff, any chance of a video on Feng Shui for our plant collections?

Most def 👍

Love that plant 👌

Yes begonia red flame

I try 😂

Every week and every plant

How are the roots?

Thanks!

I should do at some point

No I’ve had mine flowering. I’ve not got enough sun

👌

Sounds good

Legend!

Get on it 😁

Great stuff 👍

Either will work really. They'll be nutrients in the soil though

If you fertilize regularly it shouldn't matter. The biggest advantage I know of growing Jade in rich soil is that it can extract nutrients from it, but if you're fertilizing a nutrient deficient soil it should be the same

thank you! @@blackburned

@@thevahandbook I would keep them in a mix rich in mineral components for sure. They naturally grow in rocky soil in South Africa.
