Weeping Jade | Senecio Jacobsenii | Trailing Jade

Senecio Jacobsenii, commonly known as “Trailing Jade” or “Weeping Jade,” is an attractive succulent with trailing stems adorned with elongated, fleshy leaves. The leaves are a vibrant green color, tinged with shades of pink or purple along the edges, adding a touch of elegance to any hanging basket or container garden.

Plant Care Needs

• ☀: Place in bright, indirect sunlight. Senecio Jacobsenii prefers at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day but can tolerate partial shade.

• 💦: Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, approximately every 10-14 days, depending on environmental conditions.

• 🪨: Plant in well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. We recommend Tits & Grit Cacti & Succulent Mix!

• 🌡️: Thrives in temperatures between 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Protect from frost and extreme temperature fluctuations.

• ☁: Adapted to low humidity environments. Does not require additional misting.

• ✂: Propagate from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus before planting in moist, well-draining soil.

• ⚖️: Low maintenance. Suitable for beginners and experienced growers alike.

• 💭:

• Fertilize sparingly with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Prune leggy stems to encourage bushier growth and maintain the plant’s shape.
• Avoid overwatering, as Senecio Jacobsenii is susceptible to root rot. Ensure proper drainage and allow excess water to drain away.
