Saving My Jade Plant 2020 Update With Time Lapse
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 січ 2020
- It's been six months since my last update on my Jade plant where I planted up the two largest surviving branches as cuttings. The Cuttings have now rooted well and the original stump of the Jade plant has lots of healthy new shoots. The timelapse took over five months to film and is probably the longest continuous time lapse I've ever filmed. Also there appears to be no signs of rot as both the cuttings and the stump are healthy and putting on growth.

time lapse is amazing and just shows how well wrinkled leaves can totally recover.
Hi, thank you so much for this "Saving my jades" series. I am experiencing the same thing with my late mother's jade.. This plant means a lot to us and even more so now that my mum's gone. Somewhere between hospital visits and messed up daily schedules, I had failed to realise that the trunk of her jade had rot.. Today I finally decided to uproot it and have a look and to my horror, practically the whole trunk had rot (squishy white stuff inside). So I cut back to healthy stems and was about to cut it into even smaller cuttings as I read online that larger stems are harder to root.. And then I found this video series. Thanks to you I didn't cut them up really small.. And now I have 3 semi-tree like sections which I can try to root. Once again thank you!! I have some hope for my tree(s) now!
Sorry to hear about your loss, I hope your able to save your mums Jade plant. They root very easily, so your three branches should become three new plants, just make sure to keep the soil fairly dry until the roots have started to form. Even if the branches shrivel up a lot they can still come back to life. I will have another update on my Jade plants in a few months time.
How's it going, did you save it? x
@@DreamClean Hi! Yes, I have 3 beautiful mini jade trees now! Lots of plump new leaves :) It's just heading into Spring in Australia so I'll be looking to repot them soon.
I know your comment is years old but it's never easy to lose a parent. I hope you and your family (and the jade lol) are doing well! I recently purchased my first jade, a tricolor, which is what has brought me to these videos. My middle daughter who is 12 listens to me talk plants and when I showed her different jades she laughed that her and her two sisters would be inheriting the tree one day. Lol. Hopefully I can get it growing beautifully!
They’re making a nice comeback! That’s a really fascinating time lapse. Thanks for the update!
Yes, they are recovering nicely. I'll hopefully film a time lapse of the trunk growing for the next update video.
So nice to see the update and that time lapse was very cool. I'm amazed at how resilient jade cuttings are.
They are such tough plants, even when they seem almost dead they can come back with healthy new growth.
I'm impressed in how all the cuttings recovered and grew...especially the main stem, that had the rot. It has quite a lot of new growth...shows that there's hope. Thank you..
The timelapse is the most mesmerising thing in the world 😍
Thank you! Today I started exactly what you’ve shown, without you I never would have known how to help my jade, I appreciate these videos ☺️🙏🏻
I'm glad my videos have helped you, good luck with your jade plant.
Watching videos of you saving plants and growing more plants from cuttings is really calming, and it did get me started to plant greens at home :) Thanks and keep it going!
I love time lapses!!!
Fascinating I’m glad you were able to save that beautiful plant and now it’s giving you back more life
Love the timelaps!! Also very happy about this little series about you saving this plant. Made me realise that I need to prune my big plants. Never knew I sould!
Brilliant recovery and excellent time lapse. Best regards. Mags 🌼🌻🌺🌸
The life of your jade plants are Beautiful. Great job !
Great news! Thanks. They have been saved!
Such a nice recovery of the jade!
That is so cool! Thank you for doing that time lapse. That takes some kind of patience!
Thanks, I'm hoping to get a better set up soon so I can film more than one time lapse at a time.
Jades are really awesome plants. Timelapse turned out great. You can really see how the plant is taking up water.
Thanks, I'm hoping to further improve my time lapses this year. I'm also going to increase my Jade collection.
About 10 years ago I was at a Chinese takeaway with my Dad, he pinched part of a Jade plant there. In 2014, he gave me a cutting of it, and since he's no longer here, Ive been looking after mine royally. Gave it a buzzcut and hoping to start thicken mine out a little bit, as its all just really long and tall
It should re-sprout well after a prune, if it keeps growing long tall stems it means that it need more light. Most of my local Chinese restaurants and takeaways also seem to have huge Jade plants in the window.
Thanks for the continuous update.
great video, this really shows how resilient these plants are. this is why they are my favourite type of plant they are so fascinating. that time lapse was amazing too, id love to do one of jades one day.
Agree and Thank you Gardening at 58 North!!
Absolutely amazing!!
the time lapse is very nice !
You should make a playlist of all your jade plant videos over the years, starting with the very first one!
I've done this with my biggest Jade plant here is a link to the playlist which has videos going back to 2014: ua-cam.com/play/PL8IPB0_oC8k44pr3ETAvZO5hEAusjs30h.html
@@Gardeningat58N thanks!
Nice recovery
That’s a beautiful jade plant.
Great time lapse!
This is so beautifu, and all very helpful. Thank you for a wealth of information💚
Thanks, I'm glad you found my video helpful.
Fantastic news. It’s great to see them bouncing back 👍
Awesome video!
Nice touch with the time lapse. Informative. ty
Thanks, it took several weeks to film it as the rooting was a slow process.
Epic! More time lapse please!😊
I've had the same problem with mine. I picked up a plant second hand from a couple who said it was too big and branches started falling off a couple of months ago. I'm a novice and ignored it but it's kept happening so decided to investigate. I've had to butcher it right back, although some branches seem ok, although I'm worried they might also have rot. I've not had a chance to look at the roots yet as waiting on some compost and perlite to arrive so I can repot straight after but I had a quick look and seems similar, dry, not rotten, although can't investigate properly.
I'm going to stop watering it and let it dry out, your video has shown me how well these plants can handle no water. Also going to apply iso alchohol on the exposed bits. Hopefully that well sort out any little bits of rot still in it and kill the infection. And investigate the roots soon. I really hope I can save it it's an amazing plant and the big trunks are perhaps even bigger than yours. I also have 2 chunky branches that I saved for cuttings.
Shame you can't put pics in youtube comments, would love to show you and get your opinion if you had a mo :)
@@alexoconnor1272 are we cousins? :-). I have the same issue. I haven't taken the plant out of the planter yet, I'll have the materials to replant tomorrow, so I don't know what the roots look like. Does the large part of your stalk at the bottom show rot too?
Like watching the resurrection❤❤
Amazing!
Glad to see some recovery. Just watched the vid of you having to cut it up. That time lapse is also 👌 how long did you record for the time lapse?
I'm surprised you had rot with jade's. They tend to be the most resilient of succulents! Was the soil not gritty enough do you think?
Thank you so much for all of this information! I just cut back rot from my own 6 year old jade which was in a very similar shape and size to yours. I now have 3 large separate trunks as like you I had to cut back the base which connected the 3. Question for you- the 3 trunks I have left, would I be able to root those in the same pot? Or is it better to root them separately and then potentially pot them together. Thanks for your help :)
That time lapse is amazing! Thank you for this series. Just had our 10 year Jade have the same bacterial rot. Embarking on the new cutting method as you did. Did you water those cuttings after putting into the soil?
Thanks, Yes, I watered the soil just a tiny bit so that it was slightly damp. But before I planted the cuttings I left them out for a few weeks to make sure the cuts were completely healed before transferring them to soil. After the first watering I only watered a very small amount and only once the soil had become very dry, without roots to absorb the water the soil stays damp for a long time and so you have to be really careful not to over water. Hope your able to save most of your Jade and stop the rot from spreading.
cool the biggest one came back! i just saved a crosby's mini and a regular from walmart.. the mini had 5 plants in the same 4inch pot the regular one had 3 plants in the same inch pot.. nice add to my collection i have a 10 year old gollum bonsai thats 2-3 foot tall/wide given to me as a house warming and i have a jade mesem(how ever its spelled lulz) and i have a 5 year old bonsai portulacria afria(that looks similar to the crosby mini's
Sounds like a nice collection of Jade plants. Most of mine are the normal Crassula ovata, but I also have a Crassula minor and a Crassula ovata 'Sunset'.
@@Gardeningat58N yeah i been looking for the sunset. what i really want is a veriegated either the portulacaria or the ovata... i found them in the south west US huge sizes (5 gallon pots) for landsacpes.. im going to wait for spring to have one shipped. they make awesome bonsai if you can find (or grow) them..
How did you keep the camera still for the time lapse? The jade plants looks amazing from rehydrating in the time lapse.
That timelapse is really cool! Had to watch it several times. The thumbnails are unfortunate, tho.
I watched a video from 2017 where you re-potted a jade plant. You used peat and perlite, can you use coco coir and pumice in place of that?
after a while you will not even see the cut marks of that big one.. it was so nice before you had to cut the bad parts out..
Wow, how cool! So I have this old jade plant from my grandparents, but I recently found out that the roots were completely dead and they had been for a long time, so it turned really, really dry. Now I just cut it up into two "trees", into the healthy part, and re-potted them the exact same way as you did. Now I am just wondering, how often do you water them? And how long does it take for it to make roots? Thank you so much, I really hope this works out! :)
with jades the best thing to do is make sure they are planted in well draining succulent and cactus soil and then water them really well and soak the soil and then allow the soil to dry out completely before you next water again, this is the best way to water jades because if the soil stays too wet they will rot, that's why you need a well draining soil that wont hold on to water :) i hope this reply isn't too late
Hi. I have a 40+ year old plant, roughly 4ft tall, indoor. I recently noticed the edges of some leaves turning black and hard, I've never seen this before. Any thoughts? Root rot? Fungus?
I have watched all 3 of your videos to learn about overwatering and root rot. I think my largest (at least 15 year old) jade may have this going on. Long story short, a friend took care for 6 months, watered several times and then told me that it was dropping shriveled dried leaves constantly. Made mention of when and how to water. Since I have had it, a couple of limbs and lots of leaves have just dropped. Sprayed with Neem due to seeing some signs of webs, but could have been from being on a porch. Plant actually perked up tho when I moved it to the screened in porch to spray but still lost leaves. The largest truck is not as smooth as the other 2, it almost looks like alligator skin. Is this a sign of root rot? Thanks for any input.
Love the time lapse. How often did you water the branches as they grew their roots?
Whenever the soil dried out I watered them, I can't say how many days was in between waterings as it varied depending on the temperature and light levels which varied a lot. But before they rooted I was very careful with watering because without roots the compost took a long time to dry out in between waterings.
@@Gardeningat58N Thanks!
Hi, I love all your videos and thanks for doing them! I have an older Gollum Jade that needs a large branch pruned off to make it stable. I have pruned branches off in the past but have never gotten new growth, just dried nubs. So, I am afraid to cut off this bigger branch in case I get no new growth! Any suggestions would be appreciated! I have it in a West window and I water about once a month. It is a healthy plant from what I can tell just no new growth on pruned areas. Thank You!!
Lack of regrowth is usually due to the branch being low down on the plant, incorrect pruning, the wrong time of year or weak plant health. Make sure you prune the plant in late spring or summer, if pruned in winter or autumn it is less likely to sprout. When you cut the branch leave two to three nodes on the branch (ring on bark where leaves used to be) if you cut too close to the trunk and remove the whole branch there will be nowhere to regrow from. If you cut a low down stem it is less likely to sprout because the growing stem tips produce a hormone that travels down the stem and stops lower buds from growing. To overcome this remove all growing tips on the plant, by cutting off the top two pairs of leaves, this will stop the hormone production and allow the lower stems to regrow, however it can also cause new stems to grow from many other places and make the plant busier so you may need to prune a few weeks afterwards if some of the new stems are not growing from areas that you want branches to form. If the plant is not getting enough light or is weak it often won't resprout, feeding with a high nitrogen feed or moving to a sunnier position/grow light, will help resprouting.

Thank you very much!! We're just heading into Winter so I'll wait and try pruning next Spring!!
Hi there, thank you for sharing this has helped me as I have been struggling with my Jade plant. How often would you water your jade once you replanted it and had it sitting over the time lapse period? Was watering done very sparsely?
I made sure the soil was slightly damp when I planted them and then watering was extremely minimal until I knew the roots had established. I only watered when the compost became bone dry. They are at high risk of overwatering and rotting until they establish their roots. You will know they have grown roots when the leaves start to swell up and new leaves and stems start to grow. Checking the compost for roots is dangerous as the roots are so small and delicate when young they are easily broken.
@@Gardeningat58N okay perfect, I did what you showed in your videos (cut below the damaged/rotting area, let it dry out and just repotted today). Hoping the roots take!!
How is this one doing now :)?
Hi, I have found your crassula videos so useful. My plant has developed roots from the stems?? I think i was over watering so left it longer than I normally do and now looks so much better but now have these roots. I am going to try and take cuttings after watching your videos. Should I avoid the stems with the roots or does it not matter? Thanks again 👍🏻😁
Jade plants grow roots from the stem when their roots are damaged incase their original roots rot and the plant falls over the new roots can take over. When taking cuttings the best stems are the ones with roots as these will establish much quicker.
@@Gardeningat58N thats great, thank you. I'm going to give it a go, wish me luck 👍🏻
Hi, i wanted to ask how to grow a LOT of Mint, i have some mint but its pitiful small and it grows extremely slow... takes about 1 month for it to be able to get just a few leafs for a tea... no idea what im doing wrong. What type of light are you using to grow the plant? does it works if i use my desk light?
Usually if Mint is grown outside it will grow huge and is often a problem because it grows too much. However if your growing mint indoors then things are different. Mint is usually dormant over winter and won't want to grow, its usually best in winter to keep it somewhere cold like, outside and let it die back to its roots. Mint won't grow well unless it has its rest period over winter. Come spring grow it on a cool sunny windowsill, Mint doesn't like hot temperatures so avoid midday sun. Also mint likes a lot of water so never allow the compost to dry out. Also feed the plant with a feed high in nitrogen as this will encourage lots of large leaves. The best lights are special grow lights, but any bright led or cfl light will also work.
love your vids , you mentiond grow lamps im using grow lamp on my jades what colour is best to set it on BLUE or BLUE and RED Thank you
Blue or both would be best, red light on its own tends to encourage flowering and causes plants to become leggy.
@@Gardeningat58N Thank you so much
I have a 40+ year old jade that has rot all the way down to the base. I've cut to about 3" above it and it doesn't look any better. Is there any way I can save it? Very sentimental plant.
Feeling the pain, Susan. I'm watching for the same reason. Mine would have been 41 this year. So sad.
The "stump" - did it have any leaves when you started?
No, I had to cut it back so hard that there was no leaves left on the stump. I have made a few videos about this plant so you can go back and see how it looked before I cut it back and before it regrew its leaves.
How can I save my rubber tree????
That depends on what wrong with it? If you have photos of it you can send them to my Facebook page and I can have a look.
They grow very slow just love it
2021 update?
I'll make one later this summer, its currently growing very well.
What was the longest non-continuous time-lapse you've filmed?
How about a video on heat lamps and what to buy?
you can find grow light bulbs that plug in to normal light sockets on amazon. any light will work but the daylight ones work best. 5000-6500k led or clf are the one that use the least power.. unless you really want a big grow light then 1000 hps or led full spectrum are the way to go.. (i grew my "tomatos" under hps and led) fair warning the 600-1000 watt hps cost 150-300$ a month in power.. luckily led tech has caught up and they are all about the same price to buy now.. led cost the least in power.. amazon has everything tho i always try not to go local if possible.. hope i helped a bit mike mcl
The longest non-continuous time lapse was about 7 months, it was supposed to be continuous, but there was a powercut and I lost a lot of footage. I might make a video about grow lamps later this year although I'll need to try out some of the new ones first because the technology advances each year.
