What is Jade Plant?
Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) ek popular succulent houseplant hai jo apni fleshy leaves, low maintenance nature aur good-luck symbolism ke liye mashhoor hai. Ye plant ghar ke andar aur outdoor terrace dono jagah grow ho jata hai.
Agar aap ise sahi light, controlled watering aur proper soil mix dete ho to ye 10–20 saal tak survive kar sakta hai.
Is guide me hum Jade Plant ki light, watering, soil, fertilizer, pruning, repotting, aur common problems ke solutions detail me cover karenge.
🌞 1. Light Requirements
Jade Plant ek sunlight-loving succulent hai.
✔ Best Light
Daily 3–4 hours morning sunlight
Bright indirect light 5–6 hours
East-facing ya south-facing window best
⚠ Avoid
Harsh afternoon sunlight (burn risk)
Pure dark room → growth slow, leaves soft ho jati hain
💧 2. Watering Schedule (Most Important)
Jade Plant overwatering se bahut jaldi damage hota hai.
Isliye watering rule simple hai:
✔ Watering Rule
10–14 days me 1 baar paani
Sirf jab soil completely dry ho
Summer me thoda frequent, winter me very less
✔ Correct Method
Pot ke bottom se thoda paani bahar aaye tab tak water do
Dish me collect paani 10 min baad empty karo
⚠ Overwatering Symptoms
Mushy stems
Yellow leaves
Root rot smell
🌱 3. Perfect Soil Mix
Jade Plant ko fast-draining, airy soil best suit karti hai.
⭐ Ideal Soil Mix
40% Garden Soil
30% Cocopeat
20% Perlite
10% Sand (optional)
Ye mixture excess water ko drain kar deta hai aur roots ko rot se bachata hai.
🌡 4. Temperature & Humidity
✔ Ideal Range
15–30°C
Medium humidity (succulents high humidity pasand nahi karte)
✔ Tips
Winter me plant ko warm location me rakho
AC aur cooler ki direct airflow avoid karo
🧪 5. Fertilizer Schedule
Jade Plant ko heavy fertilizer ki zarurat nahi hoti.
✔ Best Feeding
2–3 months me ek baar mild liquid fertilizer
Spring & summer me apply karo
Winter me fertilizer avoid karo
✔ Good Options

Seaweed (half dose)
Vermicompost (very little)
🔁 6. Repotting Guide
Jade Plant slow-growing hota hai, isliye frequent repotting ki zarurat nahi.
✔ When to Repot
Roots pot se bahar aa rahi ho
Soil compact ho gayi ho
2–3 saal me ek baar
✔ Best Season
February – April (Spring)
✂️ 7. Pruning & Shaping
Pruning se plant bushy aur strong banता है.
✔ How to Prune
