Succulents typically grow in dry areas such as deserts and its leaves hold water for long periods of time. The jade plant prefers coarse, sandy soil similar to its native arid habitats like deserts. Jade plants are great plants for beginners because they are very forgiving and also low maintenance. Jade plants grow successfully in light conditions ranging from full sun to part-shade. Full sun will produce tighter growth. Grown in shade the plant will become lanky. Day time temps from low 70s to low 80s are preferred and they prefer nighttime temperatures around upper 40s to lower 60s Fahrenheit. Jade plants are adapted to dry climates. Less is more as far as watering jade plants is concerned. Their leaves conserve water so allow extended periods between watering.
