Hi!
I've don't know what "Jade Cache" is. But I'll assume it needs the standard succulent treatment. For my jades, I like pots without glaze on the inside, whether they're terra cotta overall or only glazed on the outside.

The pot should not be too much larger than the current pot. Maybe one size larger, if it really needs it. Otherwise, just give the plant new soil mix and make sure that the roots are healthy and well-distributed (spread evenly, not circling around the root-ball or bottom of the pot).

The pot should have good drainage holes, too.

Soil: start with a cactus and succulent soil base, and add Perlite (30 - 50 percent), small gravel, pumice, any sort of grit that will increase drainage and help prevent root-rot from too much water. Avoid peat moss like the plague.

Re-potting: I've heard that you should re-pot in the fall. When you re-pot, do not water for at least a week afterwards - this gives any damaged roots a chance to callous over, so that they don't rot. Re-potting can be done every 2 - 4 years, or when the plant outgrows its current container.

Watering: no matter where you live, allow the soil to dry out between waterings. In most cases, this means every 7 - 10 days during the summer, and every 10 - 30 days in the winter. Jades need very little water in the winter.

Water from the top, through the soil, bringing oxygen down, and flushing excess minerals out. Water thoroughly. Drain any excess.

With jades, the leaves become *wrinkled* when the plants need water. If overwatered, the leaves become soft and leathery (and can become yellowish, too).

Jades are tough. Overwatering is the main danger.

You will love your Jade. I recently re-discovered them, and I really like them. I live in Florida and although probably not the best place to grow succulents. So it is very hard to get "bigger" plants here and the selection is not good. Our humidity is very high and we get a lot of rain in the summer. But that hasn't stopped me from growing them anyways.

Josh gave you some great advise. For me when the temps gets in the upper 70's or 80's I water mine every 4-5 days since I use very fast draining soil and my soil dries very quickly. One question? Can you post a picture of your Jade? I also have never heard of "Jade Cache" and would love to see it. Good Luck with your new plant.

Yes! Puglvr's post has reminded me to mention that All gardening is local! If you're growing in Florida, or Malaysia, or Texas, et cetera, your plants will definitely have different water needs than plants grown, for instance, on my Northern California deck. Pot size and soil-drainage will also affect watering.

I second the request for a picture!

Thanks, for the info guys. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures, I'll post one.

Thanks, Nana

Easiest way to post pictures is through a free online service (such as photobucket.com)
