Its small, exquisite, crystal-clear appearance, with white markings on its fleshy leaves, is very cute and unique at home. So let’s introduce how we should take good care of it.

1. Lighting

1. Lighting

It is very sensitive to light, so you must pay more attention to light. Too strong light will cause poor leaf growth and the leaves will turn light reddish brown. Sometimes too strong direct light will burn the leaves and leave ugly scars. However, if the light is insufficient and placed in a dark place for a long time, it will grow too loose and compact. It is most suitable to grow in a semi-shady place, so add a layer of shading net from May to September, and then remove the shading net from October to April of the next year to give it full sunlight.

2. Temperature

The temperature is 18-22℃ is most suitable for its growth. It can also tolerate a certain degree of low temperature, but if it is kept in an environment below 5℃, the plant will be frozen, and the frozen leaves will turn white, and it will be difficult to recover. So in winter, you still need to do a good job of keeping warm.

3. Watering

If It is best not to water the pot soil if it is not dry. It must be watered thoroughly every time, but water accumulation must also be avoided, otherwise the roots will rot. But don't let the soil be too dry. In this case, although the jade dew will not die, its leaves will no longer be full, the color will no longer be translucent, and then they will become dim. In the summer, it will become dry because the temperature is too high. At this time, you can spray water around it, and the dry air will become moist. When it is growing, you can use a transparent beverage bottle with the upper part cut off and then cover the plant. This can provide Yulu with a relatively humid environment and help it grow full leaves. But remember to take off the plastic bottles in summer.

4. Soil

Select drainage For good results, soil with good air permeability should be loose and fertile. Sandy soil with relatively coarse particles is best.

5. Fertilization

Apply decomposed thin liquid fertilizer or a low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer every other month. If it is a newly potted Yulu, you may not need to fertilize it yet. When the temperature is too high in summer and too low in winter, Yulu will enter a dormant state. Fertilization is not required at this time. The best time to fertilize is in the morning or evening on a sunny day.
