Jade plant in September: the right moves to get through fall

In September, the jade plant (Crassula ovata) enters a transition: its growth slows and its care needs to adjust, explains Homes & Gardens.

Give it more light

First move: reposition the plant somewhere brighter. A south-facing window provides the 4–6 hours of bright light this succulent needs in fall, as the days get shorter.

Space out watering

Because growth slows, the plant uses less water: space out watering and let the soil dry well between waterings to avoid root rot.

These simple adjustments help the jade plant get through winter in good health. For the full five-task seasonal checklist, see the source below.
