Among the most coveted succulents on the entire American continent, the Jade Tree occupies a primary place. The explanation is that this species attracts good luck, money and prosperity, among other things. But, for this to happen, we must have the Crassula ovata well cared for. And one of the capital sins that almost everyone commits in spring goes through its deficit or excess of irrigation.
That is why today we will tell you how you should water the Jade Tree in spring so that the plant does not display brown, wrinkled and withered leaves. Remember that this garden care must be combined with other suggestions that we have given you previously, such as the use of homemade fertilizers to enhance its growth.
How to water the Jade Tree in spring?
Gardening experts assure that for the Crassula ovata to grow strong and healthy, we must pay attention to the irrigationOtherwise, it will wither or its roots will rot due to excess water. Consequently, the first thing we must do is take into account the season in which we are.
Let's remember that, being a succulent, it does not need excess water. However, in spring (and then summer), heat comes into play, so the plant will need more water than in winter or autumn. Consequently, in spring days this plant should not be watered every day, but every 4 days.
And if we lose count of how many days we have not watered the Crassula ovata, it will be necessary to observe its substrate. Therefore, we must insert a small stick into the ground, leave it for 5 seconds and remove it. There, if the stick comes out dry, it will be time to water the Jade Tree. Otherwise, we must wait one more day to pour water on the succulent and hydrate it.
At the same time, it is recommended to provide it with 4 hours of direct sun per day, so we will have to take the Jade Tree from inside the house. This gardening task should be done in the morning or at dusk, to avoid the impact of the strong rays of the sun on the Crassula ovata.
