I’m thinking of the beautiful pictures of your blooming jade you sent a while ago..

The jade in the photos I posted a few weeks ago lived 10 years before blooming.

I’m envious - I have a jade plant that isn’t doing too well but I can’t bring myself to throw it out. Yours looks so full and healthy! Nice job!

Maybe your plant just needs more light. My jades do better if I supplement sunlight with grow lights during the winter.

I have a Jade tree that I started from a leaf 2.5 years ago. It is about 3 inces tall and has two trunks, about ten leaves. I have it where it gets all the direct sunlight of the day. It doing great, I'll put it in a porcelain pot soon, one where it can grow for a several years.
