I've had my jade plant for many years now and love it for its low maintenance and sculptural foliage. To keep it looking its best, I always give my jade plant a quick check in August. Doing a few simple tasks this month keeps these plants healthy and prepare them for the incoming fall.
Growing a jade plant is straightforward and really, these succulents thrive on neglect. But, a little TLC in summer can go a long way. Hotter temperatures can cause a jade plant's plump leaves to shrivel, so it's important to keep on top of watering. You should also watch out for leaf burn in intense sunlight, and monitor for pests that love the current dry conditions.
