Yes I sell locally here in Edmonton, Alberta

You’re welcome 😊 Yes you can push it further down in the soil, it will grow more roots. But if your plant is so small and has no leaves I wouldn’t risk repotting it as it can die or get a root rot if you accidentally overwater it. If you want to keep it short then you can prune the top every year. Then it will stay short and compacted.

When the cut start drying it will for a brown layer on top of the cut. It’s looks like hard lid. It falls off after sometime or can be removed by hand. Then stem will start sprouting in two places some times three or four stems. I have shown in one of my long form videos in few plants how they grew back after pruning. Make sure it’s getting a lot of sunlight.

@@PlantingwithTej perfect, I'll take a look at it tonight and see if I can nudge the brown bit off. I'm cautious to do any more trimming before I see any results from that one since I'm so new to plants 😂

Thank you! Please checkout my other videos.

Thank you . Yes you can definitely get better if you donut more often and experiment either it. Just keto few things in my mind than always talk about in my videos.

You’re welcome!

@@PlantingwithTej I have a new ZZ. The leaves are shiny and green without discoloration. However, at their base (where they meet the stem) there is a thick brown crusty deposit. Is this an infestation? How should I treat it?

Please don’t schedule watering. Make sure yo check the soil if it’s fully dry or not befits you water it. When leaves are dropping it’s mostly over watering issue unless they get really dry and crispy here falling off then it’s not getting enough water or not getting it on time.

You’re welcome !

No it’s not.

I wouldn’t suggest using the soil from the back yard. It needs a lighter soil. I use regular potting mix and I add 20-30% perlite in it. Soil needs to dry faster to prevent root rot.

You’re welcome!

Yes you can!

Thank You! 🙂

Thanks 😊

I use regular potting soil mixed with 20-30% perlite and only water it when it’s dry.

It depends on few things. Please check out this detailed video on how to water it properly thanks. ua-cam.com/video/GP04ZBb6bL8/v-deo.htmlsi=Z3c_sBZECJJvkIKH

Hahaha exactly !!

I use miracle grow fertilizer if I ever do. They don’t really need a fertilizing to grow. Also pot mine in organic soil instead of succulent mix. You can also my crushed egg shells in the soil. Make sure to wash them if it not from a boiled egg. I use egg shells, coffee/tea grounds as well.

@@PlantingwithTej Thank you so much.

Ok there are few very things to keep in mind when comes to jade pruning. 1) You can prune all you want, it doesn’t harm the plant but you need to make sure if it’s in a bigger pot and your watering like you used to all that water has nowhere to go. It’s gonna go into the stem and it’s gonna rot the stem so if there’s less leaves, you need to water it less or keep it in a smaller pot so you don’t run the chance of overwatering. 2) Regarded of the season when you prune jade plants, the newer growth is always smaller, but it does grow overtime and get bigger. The other reason for tiny growth and leggy growth is that the plants not getting direct sunlight for 4 to 6 hours if you want it to be really full and have bigger leaves try to give it as much sunlight as you can if you live in a really hot climate, make sure that you close the curtains during mid afternoon so the leaves doesn’t get burn( turning little pinkish or reddish is normal) and you need to water it more if it’s too hot and the soil is drying very quickly. 3) Never do too many changes at once. For example, if you prune the print, don’t report it at the same time if you re-bought the plan do not prune it at the same time just do one thing at a time and these can be pruned all around and they do grow back but during spring and summer, they grow a lot faster, but there’s no hard. I prune mine all year never had any problems. I hope it was helpful. If you have any other questions you can comment. I’ll try to get back to you. Thank you!

@@PlantingwithTej thanks for your reply. Now that it has less leaves, I will be watering it less often. It looks pretty bare. However, I understand not to do many things all at once, but because of mealybugs, I had no choice but to prune it back hard now in its growing season and hope it will re grow leaves. Thanks again.

​@@PlantingwithTej the large jade plant was uppotted because of mealybugs and little growth after pruning it and repotting done in April of this year. Yesterday, I checked the roots. one stem was rotted and I cut the rot up the stems and once calloused I will repot it. No leaves at all. once repotted do I wait for growth to water slightly? The other 3 stems have some roots but not extensive. I will repot these together and place outdoors...do I give some water? thx for your help.

Thank you for your comment and appreciation for my efforts. Jade plans are very forgiving when it comes to pruning reporting other things as long as you prevent the overwatering which can cause root rot and fungus issues. That’s the only tricky thing with jade plants. I have few other videos on full care , pruning, propagating , watering techniques etc. I hope you watch them. I’m sure you would find them helpful.

I’m so sorry l, I missed your comment and couldn’t reply with timely manner. When did plants start dropping their leaves, It’s most likely overwatering issue unless leaves are really dried up that means it didn’t get enough water or the soil is too compacted and Plant didn’t get a chance to absorb the water. I hope you were still able to save some of it. Maybe just the leaves to propagate you can get a small plant. Give it a lot of sunlight, all the videos on my channel to prevent riding it should grow quite well for you. Make sure to keep them smaller if you have a habit of overwatering and slowly move up the pot size over the years as Plant gets big. Please don’t give up on this plant. Just get another small and try it one more time. Trust me they’re pretty easy to care for.

Yes they are pretty cool. They like a lot of moisture for sure.

I’m sorry for the late reply. Thank you for your lovely comment 🥰I love this plant so much. They are so easy to grow and you can keep making new plants!

I’m sorry I have to double the work to make videos in both languages. I’m not very tech savvy. I’m not sure if there is a way for you to switch in to Hindi translation or Hindi subtitles. Please comment your questions I can reply them in Hindi.

I don’t really fertilize mine as I grow them in organic boarding soil, and I repot them every year to two. Miracle grow fertilizer for my other plants. Normally, I’m not big fertilizer. I use crushed egg shells, coffee/tea grounds.

@@PlantingwithTej thank you very much

You’re welcome !

Thank you !

Thank you !

Make sure to change pot only one size bigger just to prevent overwatering and root rot.

Hi, I have never planted them outside here as after summer it gets too cold here. I know they have tuberous roots and can be damaged easily. Try to dig around it few inches away from the main stem so that you don’t damage the roots and dig straight instead of an angle. This should help avoid hitting the roots.

@@PlantingwithTej Thanks so much for the tips I’m gonna give it another try

@@mygardeninghaven you’re welcome!

Thank you !

Once in a while I gently wipe them down with a wet microfibre cloth. You can also rinse them with a spray bottle then wipe them down with a dry cloth. Also give it 4-6 hours of sunlight if you can.

You have to prune it at least once a year. If it grows a lot you can prune it twice a year. So it can focus more on expanding and growing the roots which can help grow the trunk. Also give it 4-6 hours of direct sunlight if possible.
