How to Care for Variegated Jade Plant

• Soil: Plant in a gritty, well-draining cactus or succulent mix to keep roots dry and healthy.
• Light: Loves bright, indirect sunlight but can take a few hours of direct sun—more light brings out the pink edges.
• Watering: Water deeply only when the soil is completely dry; too much water can harm it.
• Fertilizing: Use a diluted succulent fertilizer once a month in spring and summer to support growth.
• Cold Weather: Not frost-tolerant—move indoors if temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C).
