Jades (cassula ovata) need sun *way* more than they need water. When I see someone's Jade in poor shape, it is always, without fail, due to a lack of light.

Radovan, watering depends on many factors. Soil type, pot size, location, sun, humidity or lack of.
If a Jade is planted in heavy soil, less water is needed, if in soil-less mix, more.
I live in Il. During winter months, if Jades/Crassula's are overwatered, they'd rot.
Jades planted in bonsai containers, in a soil-less mix, sunny days, and warm rooms definately require more water opposed to cold climates: gray, short days, heavy/ier soil, cool temps, and larg/er containers.

Crassulas, or any other succulent plants, bearing thick leaves, holds water. If you have an extra leaf, break it open..it's juicy or, well, succulent. :)

Congrats on the flowers. What is your Jade's age/height? Toni

Where do you live, what location. East or Western U.S. what state, I am sincerely interested in your comments. What are your winter temperatures?
Norma

I do agree with all of you.
Yes it is true Jade plants do need sunlight and warm long days But how much can I provide of sunlight and/or heat in Canada?

I live in The City of Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
I don't know is this weather good enough for Jades in the summer outside in the winter inside.
Inside temps are at about 20*Celsius, and 18-19*C during night time, heating is too expensive I can't put it higher so it's cold and I do wear socks and long pants in the house and my plants live with me but they don't sleep with me:-)
How big my plants are? well, well some of them are ;
columnar cactus is about 6 feet tall, Jade plant could be at about 4 feet tall and it would be much bigger but I pinch the tips to much:-) I prune it every year very drasticaly, I am a very bad pruner I don't know how to do it although my neighbour says I did a good job:-)

About the soil for my Jades: oh brother don't ask, I am very lazy to make a good and/or proper soil. Sometimes I mix sheep soil/ cow soil/ general regular soil or anything I find in the bag. I don't have that prescription of sand soil mixture . I am not much into that.

Personaly, I don't like bushy type Jades but I do have some of them because I was lazy to prune them. One of them is planted just in Cow manure oh my, my is it bushy and healthy.

One more thing: in the same place I keep Jades, cactuses, Adeniums (Desert Roses), Hoya, figs, and I use the same soil for all those plants.

Sounds like I am a lousy gardener but I have healthy plants.

My plants are not fussy (spelling?) thank you all

I agree that jades aren't fussy at all. But I have noticed my 6 year old jade had a few shrivled leaves. I gave it a good drink and the leaves plumped back up. I guess I had forgot about it. I too have about a zillion jades growing on my balcony along with about a million succulents! The soil its in is pretty heavy I think which is why I water less often. I just forget about it and it does fine. i do agree that the sun gives it that shade or green and tinge of red that makes it oh so gorgeous!

Rado, most succulents do best when winter temps are on the cool side. Unless you spilled water on the floor, and a few hours later, noticed they turned into ice-cubes, lol.

18-20C/65-68F in winter is fine. 65 is too cold for me, lol, but it won't harm succulents.

By your description, sounds like your plants are doing fine. They're big..6' cactus, 4' jade..
As for soil, the way I see it, if your plants grew in this mix a year or longer, and they're healthy, don't worry.
Since your soil is probably heavy, just water less. I honestly don't think one soil or soil-less mix is better than another..There is no ONE correct way. As long as plant/s look good, grow, that's all that matters.

On the other hand, if you've had these plants a few months, and they start going down-hill, it's time for change. Toni

thank you , thank you.
I have them for several years but not to many like 10.

Soil is the same and I am wondering how to change this soil without lossin my plants.
especially about cactus it is big and it has those sharp things.
Jade is heavy and in a heavy terra container.
