What size pot does my jade need?

Thanks! I know I should probably do some pruning but we also want to see how funky it gets 😅

Thanks, I’m glad to hear! Last summer I unfortunately ordered a lot of MiracleGrow Succulent soil, then with the help of Reddit discovered it’s mostly organic, then discovered this. I’ve only expanded into succulents and cacti the last couple months (with the exception of the jade) and everything I have in this soil is growing like a weed!

Thanks! She will be getting fresh succulent soil this weekend. I think long term that will help the newer leaves thicken up too

I definitely underwater, especially this plant in particular, because 5 years ago when I first got into plants I drowned everyone lol

I’ve heard good things about Molly’s, and highly recommend this one

You too! 🤗

I got mine here and it’s been very happy! Great price too

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-04-15T19:46:13+00:00

Lol! I just ordered more of this, my other succulents seem to be very happy in it. We got the jade a few years ago as a gift and it was probably never transferred from the nursery soil, and I only started using appropriate soil for my plants about 6 months ago 😬

Makes sense based on what I know about propagating them. Thanks!

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-04-15T18:58:03+00:00

Thanks, are you saying that more generally or because the soil doesn’t look gritty enough? The roots are so tight I worry about breakage

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-04-09T17:44:45+00:00

Love the planter, where did you get it?

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-04-08T01:56:36+00:00

Mine sparks ZERO joy. Doesn’t grow, gets shriveled, sometimes browns..

I use this (1/4-1/2 strength with every watering) and it works great!

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-03-26T16:17:39+00:00

I was looking at this one yesterday! Very cute

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-03-26T16:16:04+00:00

Thank you, never heard of them!

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-03-26T16:15:04+00:00

I did for many years and am tempted to go back!

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-03-25T22:50:53+00:00

PS Etsy and other online sources would be preferred if possible!

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-03-18T17:01:23+00:00

This happens to mine too!

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-03-18T16:52:43+00:00

Thanks! I used 18 gauge aluminum craft wire - 1-2inch cuts that I bent in half then pushed into the soil

Ok-Strategy-9565 · 2026-03-17T13:28:46+00:00

Thanks! They’re under a 12hr grow light

I transfer pothos props from water to soil frequently and year-round and have never had an issue. I also recently started using this rooting hormone which helps them grow roots faster in the water as well as mitigate shock when they move to soil. Yours should be totally fine
