I just posted a picture of my 33 year old jade plant in the photo gallery. I put it under "container gardening" and it is also shown in the "most recent"

If you are interested, check it out.

Yes, it was in full bloom when the picture was taken. We drag it outside in May and back into the house in mid to late October (I live in the midwest). When I bought it back in 1974, it was tiny and in a little 2 inch clay pot. I am very proud of it.

More jade than you can possibly stand

Penny: They are, without a doubt, absolutely everywhere in SoCal. Although they're not impossible to kill (I've managed it), they are pretty gosh darn hardy. To the best of my knowledge, the kind you find pretty much anywhere is just a regular old C. ovata. Some cuttings do seem to have a strange knack for variations from their parent plants and from each other. The one featured in these photos is just a C. ovata; I have pictures of other ovatas that aren't doing what this one is doing. Some of it is exposure to sunlight and cold. My mom has another jade that's just this gorgeous emerald green, with only a tiny bit of coloring on the one little part that catches direct sunlight. I have a few that used to get 100% full sun and turned a remarkable red-burgundy-brown color. It's fairly odd, some of the things jade will do. :) *CG*

All perlite for root rebuild... interesting. If your waiting for grit mix suggest you could also sift some construction sand ( bagged at Home Depot type stores) sizes should be sifted 1/8 - 1/4 inch to be used Also Agway has an item called dry stall and other items that can be used for a good succulent plant mix Zone 5 update for others Cooler temps at night lower 50's - 40's and mid 70's by day... also coloring leaves changing brighter colors soon ....... keeping inside is a good idea until later next spring. It still looks thirsty to me, I would probably continue with the each five day double drink as Josh mentioned but more experienced I would also lean toward every third day once or twice. I wouldn't let it sit in a pool of water in the catch tray. Top leaves are looking better if me I'd trim the bottom weaker three that are most visual in pic. New growth will be smaller and slow until Z-5's next season when the newer JADE fatten up ones grow next late May June July time frame if good sunlight season and outside grown.

Hi Rina, No AC, we leave the windows open for ventilation. It's a south facing window, so it gets the most sun in the house. The potting soil is pre mixed by Bonsai Jack. I checked the roots right before I repotted it just now. They were half the size from when I left the plant on Wednesday, and more brittle feeling. A few broke off. They were still white, and moist on the inside. It just seemed like a few layers were drying and easily came off of them. I couldn't take a photo, because there's no one else here to hold the tree so I can take it. It was hard enough potting it on my own without any branches breaking. I was afraid to lay it on it's side. it's very round, and heavy. I was afraid the smaller branches would break.

Great plant! Good grief that's a full jade!
How much would you guess it weighs? And what
are the dimensions?

Also, how much water does it drink during the
spring and summer? Do you have to prune it very often?

Thanks!

It must weigh close to 300 lbs if I had to guess. In order to move it we have to pick the pot up with a crow bar and put wooden broom sticks under it and roll it a little bit at a time. It is close to 5 feet tall and probably that wide across. It drinks a lot of water. In the summer I water it every other day and in the winter when it is indoors I give it 2 gallons of water each week or else the leaves shrink up and start to fall off. It is in a light potting mix with a lot of perlite so it dries out fast. I never prune it unless a branch falls off from bumping into it or something.
I am so glad you guys like the picture! I couldn't figure out how to attach the picture to this posting - that's why it is in the photo gallery.

That is one beautiful LARGE Jade. One of the biggest I think I've ever seen. That must be really hard to move, can't even imagine if you ever have to repot it, it would probably take at least 4 or 5 people. You are obviously taking care of it, it looks great. Thanks for posting...
