Plant in a gritty, well-draining soil blend and maintain temperatures between 61–71°F indoors. Water sparingly only when the top inch of soil feels completely dry, checking with your finger before each watering. During the growing season (spring through fall), fertilize monthly with standard houseplant or succulent fertilizer at half strength, then pause feeding over winter. Remove dead foliage as needed and prune while soil is dry to encourage bushier growth; wait several days after pruning before resuming your regular watering schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"6 Inch pot","offer_id":45814296936634,"sku":"17879","price":140.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/dwarf-jade-plant.jpg?v=1777509944","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/dwarf-jade-plant","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
