Introducing the trailing jade plant, also known as Senecio jacobsenii, which is a popular hanging/trailing succulent. Native to South Africa, it has several other common names such as weeping jade, vining jade, or Kleinia petraea. While it may look similar to the crassula ovata, it's actually not a jade plant. It's a succulent that belongs to the Senecio family. 

The trailing jade plant features thick stems with egg-shaped leaves in a vibrant green hue, that can grow up to 4 feet long, providing a lush and full appearance.

When exposed to chilly weather, the green leaves may turn shades of purple, mauve, or brown, adding a touch of seasonal beauty to your space.

This trailing jade is a fantastic choice for hanging baskets or trailing down from elevated planters.

The trailing jade flowers are small, orange, and bloom in clusters. The flowers are star-shaped and can appear in late summer or early fall. While the flowers are not the main attraction of this plant, they add a lovely touch of color and can attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. 

When and How to Water Your Trailing Jade 

When it comes to watering, the trailing jade plant stores water in its stems. That means you don't need to water it too often - just make sure the topsoil is completely dried before giving it another drink. This helps avoid overwatering and keeps your Senecio plant healthy and happy. 

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, water deeply, allowing the excess water to completely drain out through a drainage hole. In the fall and winter, when the plant is dormant, you can reduce watering to once every two to three weeks. 

And get this - any type of water (except hard water) will work just fine. So, whether you use tap, filtered, or even rainwater, your trailing jade will be thriving in your garden in no time. Just remember to avoid hard water since this cactus doesn't like lime very much. 

Remember, it's always better to underwater than overwater your succulent plant. Keep an eye on the leaves - if they start to look wrinkled, it's a sign that the plant needs a drink. 

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Senecio jacobsenii

When it comes to indoor lighting, your trailing jade loves bright, indirect light. Find a spot near a west-facing window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight throughout the day. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as the intense rays can scorch the leaves. If you notice your plant regularly stretching or leaning towards the light, it might be an indication that it needs more brightness. 

If you decide to move your trailing jade Senecio jacobsenii outdoors, it will appreciate a location with partial shade. Too much direct sunlight can cause sunburn and damage to the leaves.

Look for a spot that receives a few hours of the morning or late afternoon sun but is shaded during the hottest part of the day. This will provide the plant with the right amount of light it needs to thrive.

Remember, it's always important to monitor your Senecio jacobsenii plant's response to lighting conditions. If the leaves become pale or develop brown spots, it might be a sign that the light is too intense. On the other hand, if the plant starts to stretch or lose its vibrant color, it might need more light. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The trailing jade plant favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary coarse sand will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead of gritty soil, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your trailing jade succulent to thrive. 

As for fertilizer, trailing jade doesn't require a lot of feeding. During the growing season in the spring, you can fertilize your plant once a year with a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer specifically made for succulents. Follow the instructions for the correct half-strength dilution ratio. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to salt buildup in the soil, which can harm your plant. During the dormant season in winter, you can hold off on fertilizing altogether. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When planted indoors, the trailing jade plant thrives in average room temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures at night but avoid exposing it to extreme cold or drafts. As for humidity, this plant is adaptable and can handle normal indoor humidity levels, so no need to worry too much about that. 

When it comes to outdoor cultivation, there are only a few places in the United States where it grows well outdoors year-round. This Hanging Jade Plant is mostly a popular houseplant but can grow in USDA zones 10 and 11.

In terms of temperature, the trailing plant enjoys warm weather and can tolerate temperatures up to 90°F. However, it's important to provide some shade during the hottest part of the day, especially in regions with scorching summers. It can tolerate drier conditions, but if you live in a very arid climate, you may want to occasionally mist the leaves or place a tray of water nearby to increase humidity. 

Wildlife - Senecio jacobsenii Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The Senecio jacobsenii vibrant flowers can attract pollinators like bees and, hummingbirds, butterflies. These pollinators help in the reproduction of the plant by transferring pollen from one flower to another, aiding in seed production and plant growth.

Butterflies
Bees
Hummingbirds
Lady Bugs
Multi Pollinators
Other Birds

The Trailing Jade is generally considered non-toxic to humans but is mildly toxic to dogs if ingested. It is safe for people to handle, as the plant does not cause skin irritation or other reactions upon touch.

How to Propagate Your Trailing Jade Plant

If you want to propagate the trailing jade Senecio jacobsenii, it can be easily done through stem cuttings. Simply take a healthy stem cutting, let it dry out for a few days to form a callus, then plant it in well-draining soil. The cutting will re-root and grow into a new plant. 

Key Takeaways

  1. Trailing Jade has a beautiful trailing growth habit, making it ideal for hanging baskets and elevated planters where it can cascade elegantly.
  2. This plant is highly drought-tolerant, thanks to its ability to store water in its thick, succulent leaves, making it resilient during dry spells.
  3. Senecio jacobsenii should be kept in warm climates or moved indoors during colder months to avoid frost damage.
  4. With its slow growth rate and low maintenance needs, Trailing Jade is an excellent choice for those seeking an easy-care plant.
  5. The plant’s fleshy leaves develop striking purple and pink tones when exposed to bright, indirect light, adding a colorful accent to any indoor or outdoor space.

The Bottom Line 

Overall, the trailing jade (Senecio jacobsenii) is a stunning succulent that resembles a jade plant but has its own unique charm. With its egg-shaped, green leaves that can grow up to 4 inches long, this plant adds a lush and full look to any space. What makes it even more interesting is that its leaves can change color to shades of purple, mauve, or brown in colder temperatures, adding a touch of seasonal beauty. As for care, this trailing jade prefers bright, indirect light and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. It's a low-maintenance plant that can tolerate periods of drought, making it a great choice for both indoor and outdoor settings. So, whether you're a succulent enthusiast or a plant lover looking for something unique, the trailing jade Senecio jacobsenii is definitely worth considering.

Great Tasting and Already to GO!!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
As someone who’s into fitness, I was looking for a tasty protein shake that I could grab on the go, and the Core Power High Protein Milk Shakes have become my favorite. This is the chocolate flavor, 14 fl oz bottles, and they come in a case of 12. Each bottle packs 26g of protein which is perfect for recovery after a workout or even as a meal supplement if I’m in a rush. What sets Core Power apart for me is the taste and texture – the chocolate flavor is rich and creamy, not chalky or overly sweet like some other RTD shakes. It’s like drinking a chocolate milk, honestly. I also like that it’s made with real milk (ultra-filtered lowfat milk), so it contains natural high-quality protein (both whey and casein) and it also has a good amount of calcium. It’s not just a thin water-based shake; it feels more satisfying and indulgent. Despite the creaminess, it’s actually low fat and doesn’t sit heavy in my stomach. I usually chill them in the fridge and it’s a nice cold treat post-gym. They’re lactose-free (the ultra-filtering removes lactose, I believe), which is great because I’m a bit lactose sensitive and I’ve had zero issues digesting these. Each bottle also has around 170 calories and they are pretty low in added sugar compared to some other brands – plus the 26g of protein per bottle is a solid dose. I find it keeps me full for a decent amount of time. The convenience is top-notch; I keep a couple in my gym bag (they’re shelf-stable until opened) and a bunch in the fridge. The 12 pack usually lasts me a couple of weeks if I’m doing one a day after workouts. It’s also a lifesaver for those mornings I don’t have time for breakfast – I can just drink one of these and know I’ve gotten protein and some nutrients in. All in all, Core Power Chocolate is delicious and effective. It feels like a treat but is fueling my body with what it needs. I’ve tried many protein shakes and this one is by far the best tasting and easiest on the stomach. Highly recommend for athletes, gym-goers, or anyone wanting a protein boost with great taste.

Good taste, convenient
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I’m not the biggest fan of protein shakes but find these to be quite good. My dietitian recommended them as a convenient option for snacks or days when I need something quick I can grab. These hit the spot on those busy meeting days and keep me energized and full til my next meal.

Is this a meal replacement or a chocolate shake?
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
By far my favorite meal replacement shake! Delicious like a chocolate shake! Chock full of protein and other essential ingredients for a healthy meal. I like the vanilla one but by far chocolate is my favorite. Very smooth and can probably mix with other supplements, it goes down easy. You can also take it with you on the go!

Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Multiple times re-ordering, this is a great tasting drink. That is quick and easy to grab for everybody in the house. Full of protein taste great and healthy. Makes me feel good. Having even the kids grab one on their way out the door if they are missing a meal or need a quick snack or pick me up before sports we currently need to re-order so I don’t have any pictures to post but if you’re thinking about it I would get them .

Probably the best
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I'm not a super meat head muscle workout guy, but I went from being very active about my nutrition and macros and then had an accident which left me disabled so my needs changed. This fits different needs, but is still really really exceptional. If you're a gym rat just looking for *only* plain old bulk protein to take after workouts, or you reeeeeeallly take a lot of it, honestly I'd get a big giant tub of bulk powder from like muscle milk or optimum nutrition. The price is just too good to ignore, & plus you can add another scoop or two to double or triple the protein. You can't really beat it, other than taste. Speaking of taste, whether it's a pre-mix or powders, I've never, ever ever ever tasted a protein shake that tasted as good as this chocolate one. Dozens & dozens of brands over the decades, & the only one that comes close was the OG Muscle Milk recipe in the old tetra packs from like 15-20 years ago, before they were bought by Gatorade or whoever. This has NO right tasting as good as it does, with as little sugar, calories, & fat. PLUS having artificial sweeteners like stevia & sucralose. One reason I despise pre-made shakes, zero calorie & low sugar drinks is because I have a very strong detection of artificial sweeteners, but I can barely tell these are there. On top of that, 42 grams of protein in 14floz? I don't know what magic Fairlife did, but it's incredible. One thing I will say though, is if you're taking a protein drink for pretty much anything other than supplemental protein replacement, this doesn't offer too much else. The "vitamins & minerals" aren't too impressive, and though a high protein drink can make you feel full or satiated, calories & fat are important too. As stereotyped it is, something like Ensure has a really good blend of calories, fat, sugar, and a lot of vitamins. There is a reason it's used all over hospitals & nursing homes. Plus the Ensure "Plus" & "Complete" have 16g & 30g protein each, respectively. They don't taste as good as the Fairlife does, but they're actually not too bad, since they use actual sugar. However, those really are meant for convalescing & true meal replacement, not bulking & training. The only other downside is price really, at $40-45 for a 12 pack, these aren't cheap. However, when compared to a good alternative like optimum gold at about $25 for a 12 pack, you're getting almost double the protein in each drink from 24 to 42, and they're 14oz instead of 11oz, so you're getting 168oz compared to 132oz, which is like getting 3 more drinks worth. It's still a bit costly per bottle, as an Optimum Nutrition/Pure Protein/Premier Protein 11oz pre-made at $25 a 12pk will be a little over $2 each, & the Fairlife 12pk @ $45 is about $3.75 each. Still cheaper than if you went to pick one up at the gym or a gas station or something, a single would probably be $5-7, so there's value there in bulk. If it's worth it to you, that's up to your wallet. Another plus is they are SNAP/EBT eligible, so that's a massive W. If you take loads & loads & loads of protein every single day, and lugging a shaker with powder around isn't a problem, bulk powder is gonna be a LOT cheaper. However, if you only drink one every couple days, and don't want to deal with the blender/shaker hassle, and most importantly want the best tasting shake, this is it. This stuff is awesome, & I'll 1000% be trying the vanilla and strawberry as well. The chocolate is an easy 5 and worth trying.
