Jade plants like a lot of sun. They also like good drainage. They do not need a lot of water. You can trim it and grow roots from the cuttings.

Jade plants like low humidity and sunlight. If your plant is used to subdued light or vice versa, do not move it to a different environment. Jade plants store water in their leaves, therefore, during winter you can allow it to stay dry. Do not fertilize from November-May. Repot every couple years.

Water it once a week and make sure that instead of giving it direct sunlight you need to make sure it is getting filtered light the best way to do that is to hang a pair of sheer curtains at the window t is near and the curtain will filter the light for you.

Jade plants need moderately moist soil and very little direct sunlight -- as little as 2 hours per day. They are hardy plants that do well indoors.

Jade plants are plants that need the correct amount of water and sunlight, the plant requires low water levels and you have to wait for the soil to dry before you water it again, spraying the plant with pest control chemicals is not advised.

jade plant need 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight daily, water the plant regularly after the soil drys completely. please avoid watering in cooler months to avoid leaf fall and to prevent root. this plant need quick drying soil(half sand with half regular potting soil). temperature required 75 to 80 degree morning and 55 degree at night.
