Good tips. Thanks Sedumzz.
i really like Jade Plants, as they look like little oak trees. Very cool, and pretty straightforward to maintain.
I am at the point right now determining when to re-water. I'm in my 8th day. Some of the leaves are developing a very small concave slope, but the leaves and branches are still solid. Not flimsy or squishy as you describe It seems they are almost ready to re-water.
I've been using a moisture prob, and it's been accurate so far. The key is keeping the probe in the soil for 4 minutes per probe/8 minutes per potted plant, which is really inconvenient. I'm really only using it as a reference point, or a base line for future waterings. Soil moisture probs are like "watching grass grow." LOL!
The thoughts on the fertilizer are welcome. I was under the assumption that I should use fertilizer 1x per month during the growing season. Your input is appreciated.
I've discovered that pinching off new growth helps with the branching. Bi-annual pruning is likely the direction I will take.
Good advice thanks again.
