Hauled the Jade Tree outside today...whew!!!!

Man, the thing won't fit through the door anymore!
It's about 200 pounds and 2 feet wider than any door...had to be careful to not break the stems.

This is my pride and joy! :) and it'll summer outside.
Four months after it started, it's still blooming.

Thanks Steve.

The trick with jade plants is an unglazed clay pot, and water them only once every 4 weeks.
In winter, in a cold bright room, they get watered once in four months!

Advice is only half of it .......... Plants seem to reflect the attention they are being given 8)

( Yours looks great and mine needs more attention...and less water))

31 years! It's been blooming for 10 or 12 years now.
Getting too big to get through the door.

Post by lucky1 »

One ticked off robin today.
Overnite a nest appeared but had to remove it 'coz the baby birds would never get fed.
Too close to patio door traffic.
