Jade plant is a popular indoor plant, believed to fill the house with positive energies. Unlike most plants, a Jade plant does not need to be watered frequently, and in fact, more water only works against it. Water it only when you see its soil is totally dry. During rains, make sure to protect it from the pour. During summer and spring, try to keep its soil moist and not soggy. While in winter, it needs watering once a month.
One of the best qualities of a Jade plant is its ability to grow in high as well as low temperatures. As per reports, it stays green and healthy even in an environment of 50 degrees Celsius. The Jade plant can stay healthy and show growth in a dimly lit room with low temperature.
To prevent it from drying and ensure its continuous growth, it is important to cut and prune it regularly. If its leaves start to give a yellow hue, cut it off and if its stem has dried, again, remove it. This practice keeps the plant green for a long time. According to popular beliefs, the presence of a Jade plant brings good luck to a house. So, a lot of people keep it in their offices or their work desks.
