My jade tree is getting ready to flower again this fall, thought you might like to see it. Started from a single leaf 47 years ago. Goes out on the deck in June and comes back in before frost. The flowers come out in November. It is just budding now, going to be a ton of flowers this year.

WOW! What a beautiful Jade!

Way cool. Thank you for showing that!

Started by rooting a single leaf in the summer of 1973. I'll get another photo when it is in full bloom.

Very nice!

Here's a plant that's been in the ground for about 15 years, and been topped a few times during that period. Just now barely starting to flower.



Jade plants can grow in the ground here and they are incredibly drought tolerant that way. This plant went 7 months without a drop of rain or other water, which explains its deflated look.

Ive had a few Jade plants over the years, never had one flowered.

I may have not kept them long enough,I traded or gave them away too soon.
However they are one of my favorites.

That's beautiful! I look forward to seeing the bloom photos.

Fantastic jade plant. Looking forward to seeing the blooms.

It is blooming pretty well now. It blooms almost every year after coming inside.

Stony your jade is so great! I bought a Crassula Jack Crosby when it was blooming with pink flowers a few years ago, but it has never re-bloomed for me.

@stonyloam, Lovely! what climate/zone are you in? What are your watering habits when it's outside?

Jade in flower in 2008 and 2009. It never leaves the sunny porch. Zone 7 - Long Island NY.

Arlene, how cold do your winters get? I can't leave mine outdoors, protected or not. At least I don't think so...I'm trying to remember if I've tried. I know it has gotten damaged in unexpected freezes.

Sorry, it's an indoor porch. Outside it would get frostbite!

What a beauty!

I'll be honest. I've never been overly interested in jades, until recently seeing some particularly bushy specimens and others in bloom. I went for a walk today actually, and saw some big beautiful jade plants in bloom. Some with green leaves, some with red.

Someone had a few growing as highlights in some small beds in their gardens. Maybe 3 feet high, nicely shaped, red leaves and blooming away. They were gorgeous.

What a happy plant! Obviously a labor of love.

Ah. Since we're in similar zones, I wondered! What a lovely room

And in the public garden, just starting up... closeup with a pollinator on the wing.

Baja, there's a little someone in the first shot, too—lower left. I love the white flowers against the red-tipped leaves. Any idea what prompts them to bloom? Climate, age, culture, variety?
