Keep in mind guys, I ONLY submerge my jade/aloe vera when they have been terribly neglected and the soil is bone-dry, and perhaps has been for several weeks. This happens (at most) 2-3 times, spring-fall. Like all my other plants, I prefer a watering/fertilizing schedule. Sometimes, since I have perhaps 600-700 tropical plants, a few plants that I keep on the porch year-round (large jade and aloe vera) don't get that regular watering, since all the other plants are outside, mostly under trees. Those are watered/fertilized with a hose.
