Jade necklace vine

Water when the top 2 inches (5 cm) of soil is dry and avoid over-watering. Water about 1 or 2 times a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings and never leave the pot standing in water. Over-watering is one of the most common causes of foliage decline.

Jade necklace vine prefer bright, indirect light, but can also tolerate lower light situations. If you want it to stay a nice bright green, opt for an east, west, or south facing windowsill. Direct sun should be avoided.

Jade necklace vine likes temperatures between 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit (18-27 degrees Celsius). If the ambient temperature is lower, try to keep it above 60 degrees F (15 degrees C).

Despite being a succulent, Jade necklace vine still prefers moderate to high humidity. It should never be below 30%, but a humidity level of 50-70% is best. To increase humidity, mist regularly or place the pot on a shallow tray of damp pebbles, and keep away from any sources of dry air.

Well-draining cactus or succulent potting soil is best for Jade necklace vine, as it helps reduce conditions that lead to root rot. Be sure to use a light and airy mix that does not contain too much peat moss or otherpacking material.

Fertilize Jade necklace vine with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (April-September). Wait a few weeks after repotting and/or planting before you fertilize, then feed once a month. When using slow release fertilizer tablets, insert one tablet once every two months. Make sure to follow proper instructions for dosage and application.

Pests to watch for include mealybugs, aphids, spider mites, and scale. You can check for bugs by carefully running your fingers along the stems, or take a closer look with a magnifying glass. If spotted, try taking a damp cloth or cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol and wipe the pests off the plant. If that doesn't work, isolate the plant and treat it with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Jade necklace vine should be repotted every two years, or in its active growing season (summer) to freshen up the soil. Choose a pot with a drainage hole and use a well-draining potting mix. Be careful not to over pot, as this can cause root rot or other problems.

Pruning is best done on a regular basis to keep plants maintained and to encourage a bushier shape and more stems to sprawl out. Remove long stems and dead foliage as needed in order to promote newgrowth, clean up the plant, and keep it compact.

Mulching with organic material such as straw, dried pine needles, or wood chips can help insulate and conserve moisture. Be careful to not add too much, as it can lead to the soil staying too wet and rotting the roots.

Propagating Jade necklace vine is easy and can be done with stem cuttings. Select a healthy stem that has multiple leaves and take a cutting of around 4-6 inches in length. Once you have a cutting, remove the bottom leaves until there are 3-4 remaining. Put the cutting in a pot of well-draining soil and water it several times a week. Keep the cutting in an area with bright, indirect light and wait for it to develop roots before fertilizing.

Jade necklace vine must be given support to allow it to grow. A trellis or stake in the pot with the plant can be used to encourage it to climb up and around. Be sure to secure the stem so that it is able to get sufficient support.

Jade necklace vine has a designated rest period during the winter months when the plant should be given less water and fertilization, and should also be kept away from direct sunlight. During this period, provide the plant with enough water to keep the soil slightly moist.

Jade necklace vine is toxic to pets if ingested, and can cause salivation, vomiting, and diarrhea. Keep it out of reach of pets, and discard any raked leaves that may be on the ground.
