Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Jade Vine requires consistently moist soil, especially during active growth. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.
Reduce watering slightly in cooler months, but avoid letting the soil dry out completely. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
Prune Jade Vine to manage its size and shape, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Tip pruning young shoots can promote branching.
Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Jade Vine can be propagated from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy stems in spring or summer. Remove lower leaves and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep moist and warm. Rooting can take several weeks.
Repot Jade Vine every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Choose a well-draining potting mix.
Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season commences. Water lightly after repotting.
