Jade necklace

Water Jade Necklace regularly, especially during the summer, taking care to avoid water-logging. During the winter, it should be watered sparingly. Let the soil dry out completely between watering, and never leave the plant sitting in water.

Jade Necklace thrives in full sun or in part shade. In summer, it can tolerate bright sun all day as long as its soil is kept moist. In winter, it needs to be sited in a sunny location or in bright indirect light. It can also survive in low light, however growth may be slower and the variegation in the leaves may be lost.

Jade Necklace prefers warm temperatures, with a range of between 40 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and 4 to 32 degrees Celsius.

Jade Necklace prefers humidity levels between 40 and 60%, but it is not a must-have. In drier environments, misting and using a humidifier can help.

The ideal soil for the Jade Necklace is one that is specially formulated for succulents. It should be slightly acidic and have good drainage, as Jade Necklace cannot tolerate wet or contaminated soils.

Jade Necklace do not need to be fertilized very often, but can benefit from it during active growing season. Use a slow-release fertilizer formulated for succulents and cacti, and be sure to dilute it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Apply every two months during the growing season only.

The Jade Necklace is a fairly pest-resistant plant. Spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects may pose a slight threat in dry, hot conditions. To eliminate them, use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to scrub off any visible bugs, and then spray the affected area with a spray made from insecticidal soap, neem oil, or pyrethrum.

Because the Jade Necklace is a slow-growing plant, it doesn't need to be repotted very often. Repotting should occur once every two to three years, and should be done in the spring. Use a well-draining product specifically formulated for succulents and cacti for best results.

The only pruning required is to periodically remove dead, diseased or damaged leaves. Pruning should be done in the summer when the plant is actively growing.

Mulch can help retain the moisture levels of the soil, and if you use mulch, select one that is specifically formulated for succulents and cacti. Pea gravel, rocks, and stones are all good options as well.

Jade Necklace can be propagated through leaf, stem and root cuttings. For leaf cuttings, cut off a healthy leaf and let it dry on a paper towel for about a week until it forms a callous. Plant in a succulent-formulated potting mix and make sure to keep the soil lightly moist. Stem cuttings can be planted directly in the soil, and root cuttings should be planted in a potting mix that is kept evenly moist. Allow time for the cuttings to root, and be sure to provide the plant with bright light.

Jade Necklace does not need support, however, it can be helpful to provide some sort of structure or trellis for the plant to crawl up.

The Jade Necklace does not require a rest period like some other succulents, however it will become slightly dormant during winter and benefit from cooler temperatures.

Jade Necklace is considered to be non-toxic to both humans and pets.
