Variegated Jade
Variegated Jade
The jade plant with simple indoor care requirements and a very long lifespan of up to 70 years with the proper care. This plant is slow-growing—gaining only about two inches of height per year, but it can reach a total height between three and six feet.
Here are the main care requirements for growing a jade plant:
- Plant in loose, well-draining soil. A succulent potting mix is the best option.
- Place in a bright window that receives indirect light; a south-facing or west-facing window works well.
- Water the plant frequently during the spring and summer to keep the soil moist—but never soggy. In the winter, reduce watering to about once per month.
- Use a 20-20-20 fertilizer during the growing season to promote robust growth.
Jade plants need a lot of light, at least six hours of bring indirect light per day. The type of light is important since direct sunlight can be too harsh and cause the leaves to shrivel and burn, especially for young jade plants. However, too little light can cause problems too. In low-light conditions, the jade plant will have leggy growth that causes the plant to become weak and topple over—rather than maintaining a full, bushy appearance. To find the best spot to place a jade plant in your home, look for a south-facing window. A west-facing window should also provide enough light.

from 34 reviewsShe arrived well packaged along with my other two plants. She is full and healthy! So glad I purchased her!
Love my new fern! She made it to her new home safe and sound. The Rooted even messaged me about what day they were shipping out making sure it was a day the weather wasn’t so hot the plant would scorch. Definitely recommend!
This was a very fun workshop to attend! I learned a lot about different varieties of carnivorous plants, while getting to build my own beautiful carnivorous terrarium! The 2 plants I chose are thriving, and definitely helping with the gnat population in my house.
I am thrilled with my mystery box plants, fantastic experience as usual (I’m a repeat buyer and love getting plants I wouldn’t normally think of purchasing. Love! Thank you so much.
Very happy with the new addition to my collection. Plant is a good size and appears to be healthy. Would order from her again.
I learned a lot and Melanie is very knowledgeable. Easy to understand instructions and information about carnivorous plants. I am looking forward to being able to take good care of these plants. Can't wait for the terrarium workshop!
Omg...the ivy was so cute...smaller than what I expected. I put in bigger pot, love the small, itsy one sent also. Potted him and I'm just waiting. Thank you guys!!!
The 6” Melanochrysum I purchased through The Rooted Plant Shop has become the epitome of my entire plant collection. Without a doubt my best plant purchase to date, and I’ve purchased quite a few! You can’t go wrong, getting plants through this shop. They never disappoint!!
This plant came in perfect condition! Exactly as pictured, healthy and happy roots, and no pests. What more could you want? The owner of this shop is absolutely a peach aswell!
Every plant gets hand picked and hand delivered by Mel. My Fernwood is so adorable and pushing new growth.
The plant is exactly as expected. Always beautiful.
Love this little plant, and thankfully this one is in excellent health. I was surprised how many individual plant/strands that are in the small pot!
The plants are beautiful and there was no delay!
