Re: Jade plant dig
You just can't kill a jade ( unless you drown it in water). Just pot into any coarse medium and let it grow as the trunk you have looks pretty nice from this angle. Let the branches grow a season and then make a decision on which ones you want to keep and away you go.
But generally good sun is essential to get smaller leaves.

Re: Jade plant dig
I find my Jade grows better, more growth, more compact in a position where it gets full morning sun and afternoon shade.
here's mine after three (3) years training. chris

Re: Jade plant dig
Awesome thanks guys, how do they go with leaf reduction? He has a few more so I might dig the rest out too, I'll put them on ice for a while and let them go nuts

Would a succulent type mix be suitable ?Akhi wrote:You just can't kill a jade ( unless you drown it in water).
