How to care for a Crassula 'Minova Magic' (Jade Plant)
Watering
Crassula 'Minova Magic' (Jade plant) stores water in its thick leaves, making it well-suited for short periods of drought. Water it moderately, allowing the soil to dry almost completely between waterings. Prevent water from pooling at the rim of the pot by choosing a pot with drainage and, if necessary, adding hydroponic clay pebbles (Leca) .
Light requirements
Crassula 'Minova Magic' (Jade plant) loves plenty of light and thrives on a sunny windowsill. Direct afternoon sun isn't a problem, as long as you gradually accustom it to bright sunlight. Still unsure? We offer a handy elho watering can (1-5L) for precise dosing and keeping your plant in top condition.
Frequently occurring problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves on a jade plant often indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Check the pot's drainage and adjust your watering routine. If the soil remains too wet, root rot can develop.
Dripping plant
A dripping Crassula 'Minova Magic' means it's "peeing out" excess water. This is a natural process, but it can indicate overwatering. Allow the soil to dry out further and water less frequently.
Plagues
Spider mites or mealybugs can settle on the leaves, causing a white film or cottony residue. Remove pests with a cloth and a mild soap solution, or use our 5L cacti-succulent mix as a preventative ground cover.
Roots at the bottom of the plant
If roots grow at the bottom of the pot, it's time to repot. Choose a slightly larger pot and use airy, breathable potting soil from our potting soil and accessories section . This will give your Crassula room to grow further.
Brown leaf edges
Brown edges occur from insufficient watering or too much direct sunlight. Make sure you don't let it go too long without watering. Place the jade plant in a location with indirect but bright light to prevent scorching.
