Bonsai Jade Dwarf Green Plant

Light

Place your Jade Bonsai in bright, indirect light. It thrives with several hours of sunlight each day and can tolerate some direct morning or late-afternoon sun. Indoors, a south- or west-facing window is ideal.

Watering

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot, then empty any excess. Avoid overwatering, as Jade plants store water in their leaves and are sensitive to root rot. In winter, water less frequently.

Temperature and Humidity

This plant prefers warm, dry conditions, ideally between 60°F and 80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F. Average indoor humidity is perfect.

Soil and Potting

Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water buildup. Repot every 2–3 years in spring if the plant becomes root-bound.

Fertilizing

Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertilizer or succulent plant food. Do not fertilize during the fall and winter dormant period.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim back new growth to maintain your desired shape. Use clean, sharp scissors and avoid removing too much at once. Pruning encourages branching and a fuller bonsai form.
