If your plant requires watering more than once a day to stay moist, transplant it to a larger pot. When you shift your jade plant to a larger pot, put some soil in the bottom of the pot and firm the soil around the old root ball. Be sure to leave enough room at the top of the pot for proper watering. Water the soil thoroughly at first and don't water again until the soil dries out on top. Fertilize your jade plants once every three months.
Liquid fertilizer is easiest to apply, but follow manufacturer's recommendations.
Never apply fertilizer to dry soil, because it will cause root injury. Jade plants grow best in soil mixes that contain 50 percent organic matter, so most commercial potting soils are satisfactory.
