How to Repot Jade Plants
The jade plant is a beautiful and popular indoor houseplant. It is relatively easy to care for and thrives in most indoor conditions. The jade plant is considered a succulent and is therefore similar to a cactus in terms of its needs. A jade plant can grow to be a good-sized bush between 2 and 5 feet tall. Since jade plants can grow to be so large, it will likely need to be repotted to a larger pot several times throughout its life. Repotting a jade plant is easy and requires just a few steps.
