There are a lot of jade lovers here,,,,, I'm sure someone will come along and provide their personal experience as well! :wink:

Thanks - angelblossom

I've gone to the websites you sent - Thanks.

I'm still waiting (and maybe you have it)for some advice on the type of container that is best for jade.

Thanks again - I'm learning a lot because of this site.

I would think a clay pot would be good as it will allow the soil to dry out ,,( clay pots absorb moisture :wink: ) , and you don't want it to stay too moist, (root rot would accure ) also They like cooler temps in the winter and that will encourage flowering, Remember jades have shallow roots and don't require a really deep pot,,If grown in a bright window in a clay pot, monitor the plant and if the leaves become soft, the plant needs water.

Hi, Mygirls, and welcome. Clay pots or something breathable are best for jades. Big enough for the root ball plus an inch or two. Jades can get top heavy so you want a broad flat base and some weight on the bottom. Otherwise it just takes a breeze to tip them over.
