That jade looks fantastic. I love the big chunky trunk.
Thanks Kyra!
Your jades are magnificent! Thanks for the watering tips - your videos on jades have helped me care for mine.
I am so glad that they have helped you! That was my goal for making videos like these.
I am always in awe of your beautiful jade plants.
Thanks Maureen
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing jade plant beautiful collection lovely
Thanks again Jillian
Just got a small jade plant as a gift and found this video so helpful and informative! Thank you!
Awesome! Jades are such great plants. I have many more videos with these plants
Dude, Nice hoodie! 🎉 I’ve never been able to keep Jades alive until I found your channel. I’m no longer afraid to pick one up when I see a good deal on one. The plant shower invention is brilliant!
Thanks Becky. Do you have a jade right now and if so, how is it doing?
@@EverythingPlants I do, just a small one that I got after discovering your channel.
@@beckypackqualls2745 yay! Thats so awesome!
I always love to see your jade plants.
Thanks Norma!
Thanks for the info.. Really love the plant shower idea. A lot easier to take the shower to the plants, especially since I have them on three levels of my house. 😂😂
Thanks Jana. The plant shower has been such a time saver.
Great idea for the portable shower. I hate having to love my bigger plants to the shower. I already have a sprayer so I'm definitely stealing this idea! Great info! Love your channel! Thanks 😊
Thank Deana!
Another great jade video, thanks!
Thanks Sandy!
Thank you my jade plant started dropping leaves even though the only time I water it is when its bone dry I didn't know about testing the leaves so I'm gonna try this and see of ot stops dropping leaves
Good luck!!!
Just want to say thanks sir...
My jade plant is very special to me.. that technique where you just squeeze a segment and test how firm... BLEW MY MIND lol.... I have a ton of plants moved indoors... and it's been a battle trying to figure out the watering schedule..
Hey man. No problem..... That's why I make these videos. I just did the leaf test on one of mine today and it got a good soaking
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I enjoy your videos! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
My baby jade is looking good you would be proud 😊 I’m going to prune next year
I wish I could see it.
I suspect your plastic shield will eventually start to grow mold from moisture with bio film that's wicked up behind the covering. A solution to this would be to use a corrugated plastic sheet, as it would be easier to dry.
Ya, I'll have to make a more permanent solution. This is only version 1 haha
Thank you for your video's! Short and to the point and very informative.
Thanks Bob!
I really wish I had watched UA-cam before I overwatered my jade (Crassula ovata) about a year ago. I overwatered it by actually dunking the plant in the pot into a reservoir of water! I then let it slowly dry out, but it just never recovered, succuming eventually to stem rot. The plant was so bad off that the canopy just fell off the trunk! I used this unfortunated event to propogate the remaining stems and leaves. It's only been about 2 weeks ago, but some of them are already starting to take off! Thanks for all the info. I'm also a "liker" and subscriber from Lake Charles, LA, BTW and enjoy all your tips. 🪴
Hey Dale. I'm glad you were able to salvage some of the plant. It's so sad when you see a gorgeous plant like a jade succumb to rot. Thanks for following and hello from. Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada
What a beautiful Gollum Jade
Thanks Arse Basterd!
I love your Jade videos ❤🪴
Thanks!!! Do you have one K C?
Love your portable shower idea! You don't have to worry about causing sun or light burn on plants with smooth leaves like jade, though. It turns out that was a gardening myth, partially. Plants with leaves that have hair or fuzz which can hold water droplets suspended above the leaf surface, though, can get burn damage if the angle of the sun hits just right for long enough before the water evaporates. But I think you would have to be using some really intense grow lights, or lights very close to your plants, to have any problems indoors 🙂.
Thanks Virginia....so your saying that damage is most likely from pests? Hahahaa
@@EverythingPlants I didn't see any damage on your jades, either ovatas or 'Gollum'! They look pretty flawless 🙂. I grow mine outside, where they live rougher but have the company of hundreds of fellow succulents.
I used to worry about water drop "laser" damage, and any plants I couldn't get watered by about 10 a.m. here in Southern California, I'd have to keep going the next morning, in case a plant got "splashed and burned". Or so I thought 😄! It saved me so much time when I found out that was a debunked myth! If you don't mind some water droplets on your floors, I figure you'll save lots of time too.
Glad I found your videos! I'm looking forward to watching more, so I subscribed.
@@virginiaschabacker5712 oops. I thought this comment was on my plank video. I thought there was laser damage on my larger golden pothos. If you watch that video then let me know! Lol
Ur Jade's are amazing!
Mine are struggling......struggling hard haha. I'm gonna try to up the light, and increase the watering. I was going way too dry out of fear of overdoing it 😂 (story of my plant life lol)
That's how it is for most people....either too much or not enough. I think this video provides the right balance
It took me several weeks to get brave enough to take cuttings off my Jade after watching you're videos. I finally did and regret that I waited so long! My small plant was basically in the shape of a Y. I took the two top cuts off and they are growing rather fast with really short internodes. The mother plant took a while to develop new growth points but eventually did. I'm so happy I learned from you how to manipulate which way I want it to branch out to make a more well rounded plant.
Only thing that concerned me was the two cuttings developed the white pores but I guess that's not harmful just a bit unsightly. I'm going to take a small makeup brush and gently wash them off. The mother plant never developed the white dots.
ETA: I just ordered my Tshirt!!
Wow, wow and WOW! Great job getting the courage to prune your Jade. Happy to hear the mother plant got new growth points as well. And I hope you enjoy your shirt!
@@EverythingPlants
Thanks Jeff! Appreciate ya!!
Learned the squeeze leaf method! So easy! Thanks!
It's so easy! Thanks Janie
Thank you for teaching us ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Thanks! This is what I'm looking for! I am worried my jade plant's leaves are wilting especially after when I brought it out to have a full sun because I tought it will make it more sturdy, but when I look at it after a day it's wilted, so I just sprayed the leaves & soil with water but I guess it's not enough plus I just leave it under the sun again, so I guess i'll gonna bring it inside & hopefully it will survive after hydrating it... so thanks for this info!!! Lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey! You have to be careful if you've had the plant inside and then bring it out into full sun. You need to slowly acclimate it to that location are it will scortch the leaves.
@@EverythingPlants thanks for the advice... is it ok to leave it outside under the shady part, in the garage, where enough sunlight may reach for atleast 2-3 hrs everyday?
Thanks Jeff, great info 🎉
Thanks for watching!
Good Morning Jeff and Happy snowy day.
Yes another video on Jades. Thank you
I envy you for your Gollum. Mines are healthier (Now that I have moved them all in terra cotta)but much more smaller.
I am keeping an eye for the trailing jade. They are gorgeous! If healthy🙂
This invention of yours is pretty handy.
Edit: what is the best season to prune? Or does it matter?
Thank u
You can prune anytime, but if you want it to branch out then I would recommend that when it's actively growing.....typically spring and summer.
Your jade plant is beautiful. Mine has gotten tall but the leaves in the center have all fallen off and all the growth is on the ends of the branches. Is there any way to encourage new growth in the center or is this plant a lost cause?
Hello, I would really use some help with my jade plant, hope you can help please 🙏🏼. I bought a 5 yr old, huge huge jade plant a few years ago, everything was fine until we moved to a new flat. The leaves were getting smaller and smaller, all wrinkly and a lot of the leaves even get totally dry and fall off. I understood it needs watering and so I was watering more often. However, it didn’t help, and even one day few big branches fell off the tree. The leaves are still the same - small, thin, wrinkled and a lot of them still dry off. I’m afraid to overwater it since it’s a huge tree and a pot that does not have drainage holes. Hope I can get your help! Thank you!
نبات جيد روعة شكرا على المعلومات ❤
Thanks so much for watching
I was just gifted a jade bonsai
A lot of the leaves are falling off, quite a few each day.
it still felt heavy from water, but I’ll have to try feeling the leaves.
It’s also not in a terra cotta pot, maybe I need to switch it out
And I was afraid of getting the leaves wet, I read online they don’t like their leaves wet
At this point I’m willing to try whatever otherwise I’ll have No leaves left lol
Is the plant getting enough light....especially through winter months (shorter days). Put it in the brightest window you have, let it dry out and do the leaf test once it's dry.
@@EverythingPlants I’ve got it by the window but not on the window ledge as it’s so cold near it
I’ve got a grow light on as well, especially on the really gloomy days
The leaves that are falling off almost look a bit wrinkled
@@canadian_beauty_blogger grow light is good 👍 Some leaf drop is normal. Are all the leaves wrinkly? Any portion of the stem, mainly at the base near the soil, look rotten or squishy?
@@EverythingPlants just some of the leaves are wrinkly, and they usually fall off the next day or if I touch it lol
Other leaves look nice and green, a few days in a row I lost like 10 leaves in one day.
The branches and base look good, not squishy or look rotten
I gave it some water yesterday, as I did the leaf test and they were bendy, and I cleaned off the leaves. Only lost 4 leaves so far today lol
I have it in the typical bonsai rectangular pot that sits on a tray. Wondering if I should switch it out
I needed this video!
Glad it helped!
Soy huge Jade is very healthy and I never water them as much as I have seen you do. Some times I will see leaves that are dry and practically crystalized lol but ai water the Jade when completely dry and it is in afternoon full sun.
My Jade gets full sun as well. These plants like a good soaking but don't like to stay wet for extended periods.
Can you do a video on how to select a Jade plant in stores? Stores suck at watering etc and I think it's a big reason I never have good luck with any succulents
I 100% agree with you on that one. What would you like to see in a video like that? Just how to pick a healthy one?
@@EverythingPlants yes! Maybe also what the roots should look like? I often pluck a plant out to see if the roots are good but with succulents I'm like 🤔 obviously soggy is bad for any plant but otherwise succulents always just look happy in store! I watered one of my son's cacti all summer and he was like mom that one is dead and has been since before I left 🤣 I guess the sun drank the water 🤦🏼♀️☺️
After watering, how long does it take for the Jade leaves to plump up? The leaves of my Jade are still limp days after being watered.
Love the video..where did you get that spray nozzle or bottle you used .I like the must it gives..also how did you make your invention for showering the plants
I got it at Canadian Tire for like 20 bucks!
So, I have a really large Jade much like the one that you're holding this video I bought this many months ago although the lady had it in a believer not tiny like 5 in hanging basket with hardly any soil in my opinion and obviously bone dry and very dirty I'm not sure where she kept it but it was healthy otherwise I repeated it into a larger terracotta pot and I've had it probably since early fall late-summer something like that of last year 2022 call my love Jade because its one cycle and that's very easy to take care of and I have smaller Jade's that I had before I head to the really large one. So my question is is I have it right in front of an east facing window and I put it in my daughter's south-facing bedroom when the direct sun comes in there and I'll allow my Jada to sunbathe pretty regularly when the sun is out here in Michigan. I can't really tell you a watering schedule I have for my Jade I just water it when normally the soil is completely dry I usually use my water meter, I'm finding I have to water my jade more often because it is directly in front of the which is true for most plants they dry out in front of a not to mention I have them in terracotta. But recently my very full has had leaves drying up like way deep up in the branches kind of the ones that you can't see and falling off I inspect the leaves and the leaves all seem to look fine I squish him a little they're not super squishy I feel like I'm watering my Jaden off but I'm a little scared to water it more because this is a thing I paid $12 for this gigantic Jade that goes for way more than! So what is your suggestion? I noticed that you sprayers down with water and and drench it but I'm I'm too scared to do that I love to stick my jade in the shower and really give the leaves a good rinse because their pretty dusty! So again I have leaves kind of up in the middle of the tree in the thickness the ones that you really can't see some of those are drying up and falling off and occasionally I have to look up in there and knock them off, do you suggest I water it more? Also I do have and some of the leaves brown spots underneath the and some of the leafs. Do not see any bugs, don't believe it's suffer from root rot because I let it get bone dry before I water it again.
Hi my jade plant is 5 years old and it's dropping a lot of leaves its looking very leggy .have you any tips
Thanks for the video, I notice you have small white dots on your plants as I do as well. I've heard it's from salt in the water. Will it hurt the plant?
Yes that is common and as far as I know harmless. Just wipe it off and all is good!
Jades have stomata, or pores, which open and close to regulate transpiration. Those are the dots. They can be visible anyway, but hard water can make them more visible. EverythingPlants is quite right. Also, watering with distilled water every once in a while will also rinse away any hard water residue on the leaves as well as the soil and roots.
I love my current jade plant! Have lost a few with too much “love” 💦
We all have unfortunately 😔
hope your right
For watering? Don't know what you mean
@@EverythingPlants waiting to water till the leaves bend . i will try it
How come some leaves feel flimsy and others feel firm?
What is the jade has just been repotted should I wait or still water it as a few leaves are squishy?
Awesome thank you for the info! What type of light should the jade plant be in?
I always say put it in your brightest area/window. If you don't have good lighting...they do great under a grow light/bulb
Thank you. Is miracle grow potting soil good to use?
Love all your jades. This is one of my favorite plants. You obviously do not have aerial roots on yours, I recently moved and my plants were farmed out to friends for about 6 months and I recently got them back. Unfortunately, between that and my new place not having much light coming into the house, my one jade grew TONS of aerial roots. I recently got a plant lights. I did transplant this particular jade due to it topping over and I wet the soil down when potting. The leaves didn't need water but got tons of aerial roots. I just watered for the first time in 2 1/2 months (since repotting) as the leaves just started to get soft. A bunch of the roots are turning brown, should I leave them alone or should/can I take the aerial roots off? Thanks.
My larger old Jade has some aerial roots right now and that's because I have definitely under watered it. I'd just leave them alone and go from there. I'm not going to be doing anything with mine at all.
@@EverythingPlants Thanks for responding. I was thinking that I should leave them alone and let them do whatever they are going to do. I've never had any of my jades have so many aerial roots. It's really crazy! I guess if they are turning brown and between the light and actual deep watering the plant is getting what it needed. Time will tell. Thanks again.
Thanks! Is the leaf test true with any succulent/succulent type plants? I really struggle with watering of Haworthia, some of the peperomias like Hope/raindrop, and orchid cactus.
Pretty much yes. Any thicker plant leaf can be assessed for watering. I don't have much experience with haworthia, but definitely you can dobthis with pep hope
is this the same for the small ones? I just received my first 4 inch pot of jade its dry all the way to the bottom according to my moisture meter I can bend the leaves but not "taco"them
Smaller plants will dry out faster than large pots. If it's dry and you can slightly bend the leaves then it should be good for water
@@EverythingPlants thanks! I'll pour it a double
@@markmullinsii7026 🍻 drink up! Haha
My jade has mealies! I keep treating but can't seem to eradicate. Any tips?
Here is Ashley's video on mealys. Isolate and keep treating with alochol

💚
how often do you spray the leaves of your plants?
Not often...maybe once every couple months when they look a bit dusty. I probably should do it more often, like once a month
I don't agree my leaves never get to the point of squishing them like yours does!
That's fine. This one was a bit more extreme simply for demonstration purposes, but I do wait until they start to get a little flexibility to them. Many people have a difficult time knowing when to water a jade and ultimately water it too often. So this is why I make videos just to help people care for them a bit better....
But you never answer your comments people make comments on here and never see you answer anything you've never answered me anyway.
I read ALL my comments and I try and answer as many as I can. As my channel continues to grow I simply can't keep up as much as I'd like. I've answered MOST comments in this video. Plus this is a hobby for me and work full time.
