I didn’t own a jade plant, but I learned a lot about them watching your videos. In one you said something like “everyone should try a jade plant” so next time I saw one, I bought it (little tiny thing for $4). I must say I really enjoy watching it grow, especially because it doesn’t require a lot.
I appreciate the answer in advance… if you had an old tree that needed a hard prune, would you want to do it when the leaves were full and stiff or dry and wrinkly? How will the cutting respond to callous and new root growth? What does that cutting and mother plant want for water? I ask because I picked up a 20-30 year old Gollum today and it needs a serious hard prune. The cuttings will be beautiful new plants someday. Great videos btw.
The woody stems come naturally as the plant grows and ages. Pruning itself doesn't necessarily give you the woody stem....it hardens up the older it gets!
I purchased a jade and right about the same time my friend gave me a couple small cuttings. I watched a previous video you did on pruning and now I have another cute little jade🪴. Next I decided to try leaf prop in a tiny pot and now I have the two tiny pots of jade 😀…it’s addicting and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing and for your good advice.💚
I honestly don't pay attention to the leaves. If they remain wet they may not root and may actually rot. That's why it's a good idea to place them on a seperate pot or tray....but you don't have to.
Hi Jeff you were my mind as i have been attempting and planning on prune my jade To hopefully look like yours - thick branch and no droopy branches. Thanks for this video. I hope you’re having a great summer. Greetings from Oakbrook, Illinois 😊
@@EverythingPlants I honestly can't say - it's gone between me and my mother for several years when we've been moving! It's probably at least 5 years old but it is tiny cus we didn't give it great care...
I always thought Jade was a boring succulent until I found your channel. Now I live the Jade updates and they always make me want one, but I don't have the lighting I don't think. They're too beautiful and small to be swallowed up by a grow light.
I have my old main large Jade plant under a grow light. It is doing absolutely amazing! You should definitely get one and give it a try. I know you wouldn't regret it!
@@EverythingPlants so what you're saying is I need a beautiful Jade bonsai with bright lighting to fill my home with light and peace? Possibly a meditation corner? 🤔 Have you tried those halo looking grow lights? I think they get poked into the substrate and then look like an angel halo above the plant. I've seen them on Amazon and thought it was interesting but not for my tall plants, but it may actually be perfect for something like a Jade 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for the update, Jeff! I followed your advice re: your last video and have tiny new growth on mother plant, my three chopped propagations in soil have tiny roots (tugged on them and they came out, oops) and the leaf props have tiny roots too! Not as much growth as you have, but for a first attempt I think I’m on the right track. Great tip about the higher nitrogen content fertiliser. I’ll try it.
i love your video! I will be putting this information to use on my giant jade immediately. I've been afraid to do anything to it! what size pots do they need for bigger plants? Are they ok in smaller pots?
How deep should I stuck the jade cuttings below the soil 13:00 to get them rooted after the cut is healed ? Is jiffy pot any better or worse to grow the cuttings?
Welp, here I am, helps to of looked through your rolodex of videos and alas of course you've made a video on how to care for your jade plant, silly me.
I'm ready to prune my one and only jade plant and want to make sure I give the cutting the best possible chance of rooting. When you put the cutting in soil do you need to bury a node or does it simply root regardless of where you cut?
Hey Dionne. When potting a stem cutting just make a hole and depending on the size of the cutting, make sure there is enough stem so that it remains upright. That's pretty much all I do. Usually there will be at least a node or two covered and that is fine. Does this help?
I used to have a variegated one, but I had to thin out the collection as I had way too many. There are the 4 (mother plant, my cutting and my two kids cuttings) that I couldn't part with. I also have another pot with multiple stem cuttings that I wanted to keep...oh and plus I have the gollum jade. Hahaha
If your care hasn't changed then you could definitely leave it if you wanted. Jades make wonderful bonsai plants because of their small root systems and can tolerate small pots. If you are noticing leaf drop or having to watering more frequently then normal....consider repotting. If everything is okay then you can just leave it alone to grow! Is it one stem or multiple in one pot?
My oldest one is in a terracotta pot. I don't water it until it's completely dry. I use a chopstick. It has dropped a couple of leaves and they're showing growth. I've just left them in the pot. The other one is still in its plastic pot and it's just packed so much that I can't even see the soil. I'm interested in bonsai. Also, I've got an elephant bush succulent. I've moved to Michigan from Ohio to live with my mom. She's 91 years old, legally deaf, and has had two aorta valve replacements. All my potting supplies are in Ohio. We're planning on making a trip down there. My husband's been taking care of my plants, but he's not a good plant person. Hopefully, they're still alive. I even left him with care instructions.
I could never grows Jade till I watched your channel. Very good information.
That is so awesome to hear Norma!!! This is why I love making these videos.

After watching your videos on your beautiful jade plant makes me want to try growing one I've tried a few years ago thanks for sharing
You can do it Diann!
THAT IS SO COOL i am gonna take a leaf off and try to propogate it right now!
I'll be making another video soon
Your videos are excellent! Thank you.
Thanks so much, Bob!
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing jades plants lovely collection
Thanks again Jillian! Do you watch every video of mine???
Great advice on Jade plants I keep my jade plant in the east window and it does really well and great advice on the watering and pruning
How long have you had your plant for?
This is the information I've been looking for. I've two Jade plants and I want to prune them to get the wood stems.
The woody stems come naturally as the plant grows and ages. Pruning itself doesn't necessarily give you the woody stem....it hardens up the older it gets!
I purchased a jade and right about the same time my friend gave me a couple small cuttings. I watched a previous video you did on pruning and now I have another cute little jade🪴. Next I decided to try leaf prop in a tiny pot and now I have the two tiny pots of jade 😀…it’s addicting and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing and for your good advice.💚
It is very addicting once you have a first successful prop! I have given away a ton of cuttings over the years 🤣 Congrats on your success.
Thanks for putting up this video. I had the impression that I can’t wet jade leaves.
I honestly don't pay attention to the leaves. If they remain wet they may not root and may actually rot. That's why it's a good idea to place them on a seperate pot or tray....but you don't have to.
Hi Jeff you were my mind as i have been attempting and planning on prune my jade
To hopefully look like yours - thick branch and no droopy branches. Thanks for this video.
I hope you’re having a great summer. Greetings from Oakbrook, Illinois 😊
Thanks Millette and yes, great summer so far. It is going way too fast though. Thanks for asking. What about you?
Hi Jeff!
Your Jade plant looks amazing !!!🌱🌱🌱🌱
Thanks Mariana! Do you have one?
@@EverythingPlants Yes l have a big family of them!!!
I love them !!!
🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
I love your love for this jade plant! I've got a jade gollum and I definitely need to apply your advice to help it grow big and beautiful
Thanks Hope! These are special plants. How long have you had yours?

That is so awesome L Leo!!! Thanks so much for sharing this....these are my favorite type of comments!
i love your video! I will be putting this information to use on my giant jade immediately. I've been afraid to do anything to it! what size pots do they need for bigger plants? Are they ok in smaller pots?
I wouldn't go too large for jades as they typically don't need large pots. I'm not sure the size of your Jade so I can't recommend a pot size.
Is there a way to get a limb to grow on the truck? Where you want one.
How deep should I stuck the jade cuttings below the soil 13:00 to get them rooted after the cut is healed ? Is jiffy pot any better or worse to grow the cuttings?
As long as there are a couple nodes underneath the soil and it remains upright then you're good to go
Hi I have a variegated jade plant and she has roots coming from the branches!! What should I do,? Thank you
Nothing....it could be from higher humidity is your environment or it may be needing some water. If the leaves are nice and plump then it is fine
Do you used Foliage Pro fertilizer on Jade plants?
Yes, I did in the video!
I have about 3 different kinds of Jade plants, Shrecks Ears etc. is pruning the same for all type of Jade?
Yup! The gollum jade has different leaf orientation, but the process is the same for all of them.
Welp, here I am, helps to of looked through your rolodex of videos and alas of course you've made a video on how to care for your jade plant, silly me.
I have another one coming out next week too!
@@EverythingPlants sweet! Can't wait 😜 Hey, do you have any videos coming out for specific Alocasia's?
@@TheRaychalRay nothing planned, but what would you like to see in one?
@@TheRaychalRay I actually changed the video release to tomorrow (Friday)
I'm ready to prune my one and only jade plant and want to make sure I give the cutting the best possible chance of rooting.
When you put the cutting in soil do you need to bury a node or does it simply root regardless of where you cut?
Bury a node

Beautiful do you have any variegated Jade they are pretty too , I have one Jade plant and it water and ignore lol
I used to have a variegated one, but I had to thin out the collection as I had way too many. There are the 4 (mother plant, my cutting and my two kids cuttings) that I couldn't part with. I also have another pot with multiple stem cuttings that I wanted to keep...oh and plus I have the gollum jade. Hahaha
@@EverythingPlants ♥️🌱
My Jade plants are filling up their pots. Do you recommend repotting them to thin them out?
If your care hasn't changed then you could definitely leave it if you wanted. Jades make wonderful bonsai plants because of their small root systems and can tolerate small pots. If you are noticing leaf drop or having to watering more frequently then normal....consider repotting. If everything is okay then you can just leave it alone to grow!
