      - They like being more snug in their pots, and even get a little root-bound. Don’t repot it in any pot more than 1-2 inches in diameter to the width of the plant’s root ball. They need to either be in a terra cotta pot with at least one large drainage hole, or a plastic pot with multiple drainage holes. Avoid glazed ceramic pots for these as they will hold too much moisture that this plant cannot handle. * Allow the soil to completely dry out between waterings. I wait at least 15-18 days before watering in the spring/summer and at least 20-22 days in the fall/winter before watering. This plant enjoys being bone dry before watering * Try to keep the leaves dry during waterings. Placing the plant in a bowl/container with water for 10-20 minutes, then resting it to dry is a great way to water it without getting the leaves wet. - Jades enjoy full-sun, or at least 6-8 hours of sunlight every day, so place it somewhere bright with consistent sun and it should be happy. - Never mist. Keep leaves dry and bottom-water. - Common problems are root rot (overwatering), spindly growth/stretching (needs more light), yellow (overwatered/underwatered)/shriveled leaves (underwatered), and white growth (powdery mildew/mealybugs). * Treat mealybugs with isopropyl alcohol on a q-tip. Don’t let alcohol touch the soil.  * Best kept at 68-95°F in summer, 50-64°F in winter, lowest survivable is 32°F. * Repot every 2 years with cactus and succulent soil. Avoid Miracle Grow’s soil, even their cactus mix. I use Espoma’s Organic Cactus and Succulent mix for all my jades. * Use a baking soda and vinegar solution for powdery mildew. Wipe leaves with a wet cloth for excess salts.
