Hey..just wondered if you could help!? We have several of these plants and they are quite big... unfortunately we left them out in a frost and a big part of them have gone all limp and soggy...we have now brought them indoors but wondered how we go about pruning the dead/dying bits?..Any help greatly appreciated :)
@rebelwithoutaporsche Frost is a pretty big problem for plants, taking them in was good. If you haven't already, dry off your plant. limp/sogginess will pass. just prune the leaves which have died (they're brownish/dried up). If frost occurs often around your place, might be a good idea to keep them indoors for the season, but in direct sunlight. If you are going to place them back outside though, you can wrap them in alo foil for protection.
Thanks so much for this great video. I recently inherited some really nice older Jades and had no idea what to do with them. After watching your video I will most likely have a house full of Jade by the end of the year! Also if you have any tips on a Jade Rose I would love to hear. I bought one a few weeks back and now it looks totally different than when I bought it. I'm not sure what to do with it, and I guess all the little 'roses' coming out the bottom are babies? Thanks again! I subscribed!
@Trishamdalton thanks Trish! I don't have any personal experience with an actual jade rose but I have something similar to it growing next to the crassula. Pretty much the same conditions for care. Should also mention, the jade rose probably won't grow too much, it opens up to a certain size then stops growing. That... or mine has just stopped growing all together, haha.
Wow! This was hard to watch. You really mangled the root ball dude. Also, not a good idea to "prune" a jade plant right after repotting. Too much stress! Good thing crassula are hard to kill...
@mewtwoftw sometimes it simply doesnt work. just chuck some cuttings into a small pot of dirt and let it grow on its own without the aid of any chemicals. see if anything happens
... You can make up for any loss of ideal nutrients with a proper, restricted, fertilizing schedule. Also... I suppose you can just jerk and yank on a plant, but it's also obviously a bad idea. I don't really need to go into all the harm that can come of that. And finally... after all that, you managed to basically save no roots (which would have been very easy to do). Why? Most big plants, again, will die like that. If this happens, strip most of the leaves or it'll have no chance of surviving.
Maybe these methods work well for you, because your environment is ideal and you neglect your plants enough to avoid overwatering, but a lot of people watching this video are going to kill their plants following this advice. First of all, the store-bought potting soil is a bad idea. Even a store-bought cactus soil is a bad idea. These naturally grow in rocks, and your soil should be 65-85% non-organic. The rest should be fir/pine bar. NO PEAT MOSS! You want a FAST draining soil.
@Pitterpatter1221 Honestly, the soil I use is just the regular bags-o-soil you get at the market. True, soil does have some sand but having too much in there can be a bad thing -> lesser nutrients about
I like this video. I'm trying to get a Jade Plant of my own. You just cut that one out of the ground and stuck it in the pot. I read that you're supposed to let the cut part dry and callous over before you put it in soil. But maybe that only applies to small cuttings. Can you give me any help? I have cacti/succulent potting mix for my cutting to grow roots in, but I didn't plant it yet because I was told to let it dry first.
hehe, yes technically letting the cut callous over would be better for the plant. it's just that making a video in one afternoon tends to mean i do things a lil faster.
so yeah, let it do that. leaving it in moderate sun may shave one day off callous time :D
Great Video! My plants are doing great now. I've gotten a couple of cuttings of my dad's establish Jade (its huge and wild looking) I have them rooting in a glass of water in the window. Is this a good idea? Its growing a lot of thing string like roots from the base but I don't know if it would do better if I just stuck it in dirt.
(Note: I'm not an expert...) but I'd say it would be better to keep the plant in a pot so it can absorb nutrients from the dirt; and just as a side, you wont be getting mold or mozzies growing in the glass.
Sounds like you're doing just fine though, keep it up (Y) (and cheers for the sub too :D )

Just curious, what kind of soil did you use? It looks like normal potting soil, but I thought that they were supposed to have a more sandy soil.

What would the difference be between crassula argentea and crassula ovata?

I looked it up, and apparently crassula argentea is merely another name for ovata.
