The jade plant is reliable and easy to care for. Its green fleshy leaves become tinged with red in full sun, which it enjoys. If you like, use small shears or scissors to shape the jade into a shrub or tree, whichever you prefer. They all like bright light and a moist soil. Wash their leaves about once a month.
Winter is hard on everyone and everything, it seems, and that includes indoor plants.
They are adversely affected by the shorter days, the dryness in the air caused by central heating, the combination of increased heat and draughty, cold windows. This is well above the humidity in most of our homes in the winter, so you'll have to provide your indoor plants with some extra moisture. Go easy on watering cacti and succulents that are dormant in the winter. Dust leaves several times over the winter to help them breathe better. Wipe their leaves gently with a soft, moistened cloth.
