Jade Plant Care Routine:

Water: Jade being a succulent, its leaves act as water reservoirs. As a thumb rule, use the finger dip test to ensure proper watering. Insert your finger about an inch into the soil; if it feels dry, it’s time to water.

Soil: Use well-draining soil to prevent water logging, as they are susceptible to root rot.

Temperature: Keep it in a warm environment, ideally between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C).

Fertilizer: For 4 or 5 inch size pot, 1 tsp. of given specially prepared home made organic manure per month after 2 months of receiving the plant. If you are using any other fertilizer then please follow the dosage instructions carefully.

Immediate Instructions Upon Receiving Your Jade Plant:

Take the following care of the plant for the first two to three weeks after getting it to your location:

• Moisten the upper potting mix if dry.
• Keep the plant in bright, indirect light. (2 – 3 hrs)
• Insert a finger or small stick into the soil to check wetness.
• Water when 1-2 inches of top soil feels dry.
• Don’t re-pot it for at least two weeks after receiving the plant.
