If your jade plant's been looking a little sparse or leggy lately, August might actually be part of the problem. This is the trickiest stretch of the year for jade plants in India; the heat hasn't fully backed off, but the monsoon's brought in a level of humidity that this desert-loving succulent really isn't built for. Jade plants (Crassula ovata) store water in their thick, fleshy leaves and genuinely prefer things on the drier side, so the extra moisture in the air this month can quietly work against you if you're not adjusting your care routine. The good news is it doesn't take much to keep yours thriving, just a few small tweaks to how you're watering, feeding, and trimming it. Here are five easy steps to get your jade plant looking fuller and healthier despite what August throws at it.
