The care secret that transformed my Jade Plant

I'd had Jade Plant for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to using a gritty well-draining cactus compost mix and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

water-storing fleshy leaves in geometric rosettes became much more pronounced. The plant in a vertical living wall frame now looks like a completely different specimen. vivid stress colouring in full summer sun confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. root rot from overwatering and poor drainage has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Jade Plant is underwhelming, look at using a gritty well-draining cactus compost mix first.
