Environment
Jade plant bonsai should be watered enough to keep the soil moist, but allowed to almost dry out before watering. The leaves of the Jade tree store water, allowing the tree to go short periods with no water. This species is susceptible to root rot if they are consistently overwatered. Do not water untill soil become enough dry.
