The Jade tree is perfect for decorating gardens and indoor spaces, not only because of their beautiful leaves, but also because it is associated with good luck. In this article, we explain how to make a Jade tree bloom.
Easy to reproduce and maintain, the Jade tree is a highly appreciated and widespread plant. Yet few people know that it can bloom and generate wonderful and fragrant flowers, star-shaped, white in color with purple touches.
The flowers of the Jade tree appear on the tips of the branches, in the shape of clusters, generally in late winter and early spring.
In order for it to bloom, the Jade tree does not have to be very young. On average, it can take up to 10 years for a plant to start producing flowers.
To make a Jade tree bloom, it is enough to ensure that the plant has the right conditions: avoid excess humidity and sun.
- Fertilize it properly. In order for the plant to flourish, it is necessary to feed it well. Add a natural fertilizer or compost. To give the plant a boost, you can apply a feertilizer for African violet once a month, in spring and summer.
- Water it properly. One of the biggest mistakes in Jade tree care is overwatering. Water the plant only when you notice that the potting soil has become completely dry.
- Expose it to the cold for a while. Some experts have shown that displaying the Jade tree in a cold corner of the house during the end of autumn helps it to bloom.
The Jade tree plant should be placed in corners that are lit but not exposed to direct sunlight, which could burn its leaves.
Although there are plants that are perfect for the kitchen or bathroom, the Jade tree is not one of them. Excess humidity and heat cause the plant to suffer and will prevent it from flowering.
