Curly Jade 6"

🌞 Light

• Loves bright light! The more the better — aim for at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight a day.

• Indoors, a south- or west-facing window is perfect.

• Not enough light? It might get leggy and lose that pretty compact shape.

💧 Water

• Think "soak and dry." Let the soil dry out completely between waterings.

• In general: water every 2–3 weeks, a bit less in winter.

• Avoid getting water on the leaves — they don’t like wet feet or soggy crowns.

Tip: Wrinkly leaves = thirsty. Mushy or yellow leaves = too much water.

🌱 Soil

• Needs well-draining soil, like a cactus/succulent mix.

• You can also DIY it by mixing regular potting soil with coarse sand or perlite (about 2:1 ratio).

🪴 Potting

• Use a pot with drainage holes.

• Repot every 2–3 years or when it gets top-heavy or root-bound.

• Jade plants actually like being a little snug in their pots!

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Happy in room temps (60–75°F / 16–24°C).

• Not frost-tolerant — if you’re keeping it outdoors, bring it inside when temps drop below 50°F (10°C).

• Doesn’t need high humidity. Dry indoor air is totally fine.

✂️ Pruning & Shaping

• You can pinch back or trim leggy branches to encourage bushier growth.

• Jade plants also respond well to shaping — just snip above a node (leaf pair).

🌼 Fertilizer

• Feed with a balanced succulent fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.

• Skip fertilizing in fall and winter — that’s rest time for jades!

🐛 Common Pests

• Keep an eye out for mealybugs, scale, or spider mites.

• If you spot them, use a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol or spray with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
