💚The Jade Plant Whisperer💚

I really appreciate that you push the limits and do these experiments for us so we can learn from you without taking the risks ourselves! You give us new information rather than just regurgitating what we see in every other channel.

Jeff the Jade plant whisperer ! Greetings from hot and rain soaked NE Florida.🐊

Can never see enough tiny Jade leaves!!🥰🥰🥰🥰! They are sooo cuuuute! Every well branched tree needs a swing🤩😍🤩😍!!! Great video 💖

These Jade plants are SO amazing. I live in a subtropical climate and we have them in the gardens around our house. I love how they get the pinkish edge when in full sun and also how you showed the leaf growing a new plant just by laying on top of the soil. I have a few in pots indoors now (since watching your earlier videos) and will try to shape them when they size up a bit. Thanks for an interesting video on your Jade plants Jeff. Cheers.

I always love it when you do a Jade video, I love mine. I have way too many from doing too many propagations! Mine are outside right now enjoying their summer vacation and thriving!

Great video, Jeff. Those jade are so shiny and beautiful.

Enjoying your content especially the Jade videos - keep up the good work! I do love a Jade !!

Your plants are beautiful. Thank you for the instructions.

I'm always amazed on your jade plant videos .I want to give it a try growing one, but so nervous.

This is super useful, I’ve only really pruned my succulents and pothos so far and it’s definitely given me a bit more confidence seeing how they both responded so well. Haven’t tried root pruning yet but if the situation requires it, I’ll be ready.

Last year I purchased a variegated Jade plant online. It arrived as an 8” tall plant. It obviously had been started as a cutting as the leaves were quite mature looking. What bothered me was it was in a 21/2” pot and was completely root bound. One solid block of roots that were impossible to loosen up. I am amazed that the plant looked so good. It has since grown quite a bit and I am beginning to prune for the first time. It is difficult to decide what to trim since it had already been pruned before I got it. Those places that have grown in are still immature. Maybe I will wait until next growing season.

Thank you for this! I have about 15 jades and I’m running out of room for big pots!!! 🥰

Your jades look great!

Thanks for a great video! My jade is sitting on the kitchen table waiting for me to come back and finish pruning. I must check out more of your videos. I also put you in my favorites. Thanks again for sharing valuable information ❤

I would like to see the follow up on that paste that you use to induce branching, very interesting. Thank you for sharing all this info. very helpful. 👌

Loved this video. I’m not afraid to prune my jade plants. I’m looking forward to a beautiful big jade like yours someday. Thanks for the encouragement and great tips.

Hi Jeff 👋, good to see the lovely jade plant thriving. It looks great. Same pot. Who would have quessed. 😊

I finally did leaf propagation successfully 🎉🎉 I was so excited.

Hi Jeff! Perfect timing for me with this video! I have a 12" bowl of Jade that has the Mother and props and is about 6 years old or so.. I don't want to upsize the bowl because it fits perfectly on the plant shelf. I'm going to root prune it so I can keep it in the same bowl. Thanks!

Love it! I usually do 1/3 of a root prune and have only had positive results. Same thing - small place, many plants 😂

If you grow an extra finger, you will win the planty internet 🤣 you will obviously have to fully document that growth then show us if you can use it instead of a pencil or if you can propogate! Always nice to have a spare hand ✋

Great information. Looking forward to seeing how well that paste works

Thank you for your video on jade plants. All mine have a brown rash. Yours look beautiful.

Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful

12:12. I used the paste for the first time a few months ago. I used it on my Jade, pothos, scindapsis, and Adansonii. They all were successful except for the scindapsis. I used a small tack to make a tiny hole at each node and then put the paste over where I made the hole. If yours doesn’t work definitely try to make a little hole or scratch the node open a little. It 100% worked for me.

I love the new end screen photo 👍👍👍

I started pruning my jade so I have one main stem. It’s still pretty small so it will grow up being pruned and shaped. Thank you for the video.

نبات الجيد جميل جدا وطاقة إيجابية شكرا

Great update and pretty pot.

Yes,it actually did. And it's doing great!

This video was very helpful I always enjoy your jade plants content. Definitely will try to experiment with mine. I take it same methods with other types of varieties. My favourite one is the Crassula ovata minor and the Crassula ovata hobbit. Both very hard to come by. Especially ones that has already a thick tree trunk and thick branches. I do want to make it a bonsai look see more of the wooden stems and bark. But always nervous in cutting off plants. I usually let nature do its thing don’t do any propagations unless i have a friend want a piece of it and grow it themselves.

They work great in trays!

Loving this! I chopped the roots on my mother in law plants because she didn't wanted an upsize and even on the peace lilly it worked well.😅 I wish you showed us your other jades too, like the hobnit/ogre one since the leaves are so different,n

I never thought of putting keiki on my jade! Im gonna do it. It has worked on my hoyas, philodendron, and pothos!

You’re a master at the jade plant. Every time you do a video with jade I say I’m going to get one, but this time I really will🙂. It’s an awesome plant. Thanks for sharing Jeff!

Awesome with great instructions 👍👍👍👍❤️🇺🇸

Thanks for the upload I have some Jade Plants.

Love videos about jades 😊

I really appreciate this video (well, all of your videos actually. lol) The more I watched in this video. The more I find myself loving the jade plant. It truly is a magnificent plant! I have a jade a Crassula Ovata, sorry for the missed spelling. I have pruned it in May of this year. It is growing new shoots and they look very cute. However, I didn't prune back as far as you showed in this video. (I had watched another person on KZfaq, show me how to prune before I discovered your channel.) I have little stubs that are about half the length of the original growth of the plant stem. So, many of the new shoots are growing on either side of were I cut. I'm not sure whether it is safe to prune back more or, just leave the stems be.

Thank you for the great video, I have a huge overgrown jade plant & trimmed it with your help, let’s hope it will be ok, now I need to repot it, the soil is rock hard & away from the sides of the pot, any more tips on that? Thank you!

Great video. Thank you

Thank you

What you need to do is have a cement guy come in and drill out a few dozen ten inch holes in the basement, plant directly in soil, go potless Jeff! 😂

Thanks for all the education on jade plants! I adopted some small jade plants of different varieties last year, and now one or two are large enough for me to consider pruning. When you cut off a stem and let it root in soil, you said to leave it for 2 weeks and do nothing. Is it best to use completely dry soil? Or new soil that has some moisture content? My plant is already in completely dry soil so I'm worried it might be near the time when leaves could get a bit wrinkly without watering, especially with no roots and no other moisture.

Great video! I have had my jade plant for about a year and a half now. I bought it as a small cutting and it is now several inches tall with some natural splits/branching. I have never pruned it, so when would you suggest starting that process? It has grown a lot in the time I have had it and I definitely want to get it into a big tree like yours!

Hi Jeff! Watched 2 of your videos and started following you immediately 🙌🏽 You make it so easy to understand…🙏🏽 I bought my first plant 2 months ago and have 6 plants now including a jade (80 cm) with a few problems 😊 I am thinking of repotting to correct some of the leaning and maybe prune it at the same time? I am living in Turkey at the moment. It’s still 25 C° and up. Should I wait till spring? Repot now prune later? Could you please give me an advice or two🙏🏽❤️

Hello, I had my suspicions about this theory and I started to put it to the test. Since when we transplant to a larger pot we still prune the roots. Succulents in general resist transplants very well, it is recommended to transplant every one or two years, and root pruning is also important. So we shouldn't have any problems 🌱

I live in a condo complex my building has 52 units, when i trim my jade i plant then in smal pots, 4 inch diameter and give them to neighbors for good luck . We're in florida so outside works too. I always tell them how easy they are to raise. Lots of sunlite and minimal water. Also that these are cuttings and i'm too cheap to through them away 😂

Green thumb❤like the swing lol

Much appreciation from this novice Jade grower for all the insightful information! What is the name of the lovely piano piece at the end of the video?

just spectacular

I’m going to have to get a jade plant. It’ll probably be years until I have nerve to prune 😉 Also, the tire swing is perfect for that jade!

You have helped me me greatly. Thankyou for your information. Also please do a video on the trees that you put the paste on. Im very interested to see what happens. 🙂

Thanks for this exceptional tutorial! Is that a Hoya Carnosa on your shelf behind you? I love this plant....when it blossoms it it so fragrant! They are soooo slow growing tho! Years ago, I bought on with my hubby - it was HUGE, and had 75 clusters of blooms on it. When it finished blooming, a called a respected florist store and they told me to prune it back to the last set of leaves! Well, it died. And they didn't know that the blossoms come back every year on the nodes they told me to cut off. I currently have 5 small plants and they are growing well. (no blooms yet). Would you consider (please!) doing a tutorial on these beautiful plants? I for one, would really appreciate it! Fan from SW Ontario, Canada!

Where did you get the pot with the flowers on it

Great video

good job!

How do you thicken the trunk of the jade crassula. They sell them more like a bunch in a pot. Can they be separated to grow tree like?

I have a large healthy jade plant which I have never pruned, however, 1 large woody stem has now started to lean over. It is not soft and squishy and the leaves at the top are plump and green. My question is should I /can I cut that whole large stem off the plant and leave the other 2.

I have a jade plant that’s quite full and I like it that way. One side is higher than the other. I want the whole plant to be the same height.

Thanks for this video. Ive dabbled in Bonsai for years and find our growing season in the Pacific North West difficult to manage plants. Please comment on my plan to grow Jade Bonsai's. Im always so busy in the summer months that nurturing 1 or a dozen trees outdoors in our typical summer heat is difficult on a daily basis. I think im going to get into Indoor plants instead. Im currently sitting on about 40 Jades of different sizes. Many are small cuttings and a few are mature trees. It appears to do this successfully; I need to keep them in small pots when infants and then progress up to a gallon pot as they become 18" or so. Then as they mature, I could reduce the root ball and put them into smaller pots as they age. It appears from this video, they need the growing cycle of an outdoor planted jade with lots of soil so their roots can develop? Then as they age, they can become bonsai? Thanks so much for your work on youtube. Your videos are great! PS, How's that branch propagating going on those long branches you show here?

Always love your Jade videos! Took me about a year to work up the nerve to prune a significant portion of my plant and the two props i took off of it are growing faster than the mother plant. I do have k-paste so I'll be staying tuned to see how your jade responds to it. It would be great to see a video series on how multiple plants respond to it. ALSO... It has been a while since I've seen your APT plant (ag pictum tricolor). Is it doing okay?!

I have a very small jade but here's my question: does it naturally lose the lower leaves as it grows? Try tiny one has lots of top growth but it's coming really tiny. Should I take off lower leaves to encourage the upper storey to grow larger? This is the first time I haven't killed one thanks to you!

I appreciate learning all about my jade plant, thank you. If I want to propagate the ones that I trim off, would I be able to put all of the trimmings in one pot to make a fuller plant?

Hi, what size is the pot please?

Hi Jeff. Your jades are gorgeous. You talked about feeding the jades even in Winter as long as they are putting out new growth. How do you feed them. I am always afraid to give them too much.

Thank you, I learned something from this video. Hopefully I did not learn it too late! 11:56 13:19

Pickles is the obvious reason it was missing some branches... Obviously, he had fairies over to play on the swing and they broke the top... I don't know how you didn't know this 😬🙄

What are your thoughts on root pruning a large (5’ on wood pole) single stem , highly fenestrated monstera . It is nicely shaped gets morning sun for half of the day. I am sure it is root bound as I have been directing Ariel roots into soil for stabilizing for about 2 years. I have a wee bit of browning on older leaf tips. I am thinking this may be from being root bound. Thoughts? Thanks.

Whats a good fertilizer for jade/ succulents

I just bought a Jade that has 5 stems in a 4”pot. They stand about 3” above the pot. I like the look of multiple plants in one pot. I love the look of your mother plant. How long should I wait till I start pruning to get the full look. I love your videos!!! Thanks

When do you repot your Jade? Mine is in a short, squat terra cotta since I acquired it and is now quite large, should I repot?

Is there any thing around the house to clean the leaves to make them shine ?

Hey! I got my first jade plant about a month ago, and I've been obsessed with them. Thank you so much for posting all these videos, it's quite entertaining! As of right now my jades are thin and tall, with a single stem. Would they be able to grow thicker trunks without cutting off the main stem? All I did was cut off some leaves at the bottom.

How often do your water jade plant in the winter?

Hi Jeff - I have a golem jade tree that I purchased and I'm slowly killing it; a majority of the leaves are shriveled and limp. I'm thinking I should prune all those off and possibly chop the very substantial root system somewhat. I further believe the problem has been that the watering hasn't been penetratraing this whole time, because the top of the soil is hard like a drum, sorta like you were saying this one was. Any thoughts? Thank you for the awesome videos all around, I have learned so much from you & really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me and the greater world. You're the best!

Hello, how often can we do the pruning?is it ok to do it couple of times during the growing season?

What type of fertilizer do you use for your jades and how often?

When leaf laying on soil, do u dig it out to plant

Have you done a video on plant tools? I notice your snips (or whatever you call them) seem to be very sharp. What brand are they? Thanks for all the videos filled with info for this newbie to plants!

How often do you water a small jade plant?

The trunks of my jade plant are leaning all out of the pot. Can I get them to grow straight up?

💚

How do I get shiny leaves on my Jade plant⁉️

HI'itsCHEF. 😂 I have bought 2 cheep dish generic led for 2 od my Philodendron shevles. They are 18w and to close to the leaves (few insches) Normally i would have then on for 12-14 hours, but they are must to powerfull. Hende they are now on for 6 hours. Would i be adviseret to give the plants 30 min rest, with light off, for every 2 hours. So as not to burn the leaves, or will my 30 min resttime not have any bebefits, in the fear of burning. Thank you for the 2nd best plant channel here. Simon from Denmark.

I've never been able to get a jade plant to grow big. The only one I have now is a Gollum jade that I've had probably 5yrs and it's still so small. Not sure why!? 🤷‍♀️

Haworthia do not have shallow roots at all... Especially relative to their size.

I see you use clay pots. Do you recommend that for jade plants?

A magnet in your jade tree?😱

You need to obviously try the keiki paste on a fiddle node... Why you? You have a fiddle and the keiki paste sooooo... 😁🤷🏼‍♀️

Cab you proporgate a Jade successfully in water

Hi,I just bught a jade plant from homedepot,is about 5" tall in a small pot,but have already 5 branches sticking up from the ground with the leafs,and my question is,should I just keep it as ii is,or prune and cut the 4 and just leave the one in the middle of the pot?
