How often do you need to water a jade plant?

Answer 1

You don't need to water it too much, because the "leaves" of the plant hold in a lot of water. You should only water it twice a week with about half a cup of water each time.

I allow my jade plant to almost entirely dry out between watering. If the leaves look wrinkled, then it is overdue for water, but generally erring on the side of moderately dry soil is best for this houseplant. Over-watering will cause rot, and death to this house plant.

Answer 2

Jade plants are succulents, so you would provide them with the same care. Put it in a sunny or bright location and let it dry out between waterings.
