TRAILING JADE CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Light & Temperature
- As mentioned in the Care Guide, your Trailing Jade enjoys lots of bright indirect light; it does great on windowsills and in greenhouses.
- Take note that harsh, direct sun can scorch the leaves.
- It enjoys humid conditions but will still do well even when the air is on the dry side.
- Your Peperomia rotundifolia is non frost-hardy.
Water
- Keep the soil moist but never soggy and make sure that, if in a container, that it drains well.
- This plant is very easy-going but it’s not a bad idea to start a ritual of wiping leaves down gently to keep mealybugs away.
Planting & Soil
- Moist but well-draining soil is best for this enduring plant.
- We like to mix two parts peat with 1 part perlite to keep our Trailing Jade happy.
- Soil that is of an alkaline PH is preferable.
- Your Trailing Jade’s stems love to intertwine and it is very happy in what might seem to be a crowded pot. You only really need to replant once it really becomes too large for its space or container.
- The great news is that it is easy to propagate using a tip of a stem or a leaf cutting.
