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.

Don't Delay - Get One
Style: Right-Handed, Pattern Name: Mouse, Color: Graphite
Make sure you get the right size - I got the Small/Med. Perfect fit. Have had tennis elbow for years and the computer use exacerbated the issue. Very comfortable, great fit. The best position for your hand is in the upright position. Would recommend one for everyone. Good, solid mouse.

Bad auto driver install. Great mouse. Few of the left hand mfgs.
Style: Left-Handed, Pattern Name: Mouse, Color: Graphite
Really crappy auto driver install. Locked up my USB ports for my usb keyboard, usb mouse, all usb ports in fact. Had to reboot multiple times with an old style 5pin keyboard since the software screwed up my usb ports. All of them. Lucky I have a motherboard with an old style keyboard port. A reboot of W11 in safe mode, ripped out auto-installed software, registry keys and rebooted to regain control of my USB ports. I do not know what went wrong. Alls I know is Logitech loaded something, it locked up my USB ports and I had to rip everything Logitech out to get control again. I downloaded the software, installed it and it worked fine. I've had no problems since. I'm an old lefty and as such am ambidextrous in most areas, since there just was not left handed oriented items readily available. You had to have left handed stuff made so you learned to do things right handed. I've developed carpal tunnel in both elbows and had purchased a couple of vertical mice, one left and one right. I took the left into work and was looking for a replacement. My other two were around $30 ea. I liked the right handed vertical mouse (Anker). They do not make a left handed version. The left handed mouse is ok, not as good as the Anker. I decided to go above my spend tolerance and get the Logi after reading many reviews. It has not disappointed me. The auto-install sucked. Never letting that happen again. It is a nice smooth mouse. Fine movements that are easily adjustable. The hand position is excellent. I can use this all day without switching to the right because of elbow pain. If you have the pain, you know what I am talking about when it flares. It takes some getting used to the subtlety of the clicks when coming from lower cost mice. Soft and gently like a newborn's .... One of my big criteria for a vertical mouse is a landing area for the outer two fingers (pinky and next to pinky for finger orientation challenged). When you go to a vertical mouse, it takes some adjustment to moving the mouse since you can't really press down with your palm and inside two fingers (the ones next to the outside two fingers). It is helpful to be able to use the two outer fingers and thumb to aid in moving the mouse. You have to experience a vertical mouse to understand. The right handed only Anker goes from an inch to a half inch in the length of my pinky below the buttons on the side. This is a really nice landing area for the outside fingers to assist moving the mouse around. You can squeeze a little and the mouse glides. The Logi mouse is a wee shorter than the Anker and the area below the buttons in a mostly straight 3/4". Both mice curve quickly down to the inside below this area. I was used to a vertical mouse by the time I purchased the Logi and I have no issues with the pinky dragging the table and the finger next to pinky resting on the landing. I move the mouse with no problems. It is the subtlety of how one interacts with these style of mice. The big plus, takes a long time before mouse use causes pain flareups. And this isn't just a pain and done. Depending on how one ignores the pain, often determines how many days life sucks. The Logi mouse minimizes the flare ups. I'm thinking of taking the Anker in and getting a right handed Logi for home. I like the Anker, I'm frugal and highly recommend it for getting your feet wet. I love the Logi (auto-install sucks) and will probably ignore my frugal tendencies and get a right handed one since I don't switch hands as frequently with the Logi in the mix. Don't have to suffer auto-install either.

Vast improvement over traditional mice
Style: Left-Handed, Pattern Name: Mouse, Color: Graphite
This review is primarily for the left handed version. When Logitech introduced the left handed Mouseman in 1991, it was the first and only ergonomic mouse for left handers. Merchants refused to dedicate shelf space to it, so it was short lived. The latest version is leaps and bounds above the original and is the most comfortable and natural feeling mouse that I've ever used. At first, it was awkward to use. After about 20 seconds, it felt natural, and traditional mice started feeling very awkward. This mouse lets you keep your arm and wrist in a natural position, whether you are using it as a desk mouse or a couch mouse. The primary button is the index finger button, whether you use the left or right handed version. The Logitech software doesn't have a true setting for swapping buttons, and uses the Windows setting. So if you had your buttons swapped for your old mouse, you need to unswap them. It also means that your old mouse becomes a right handed mouse on that computer. There's no way of having both set to left handed. There's a switch to change the sensitivity. The normal one lets you do work needing fine movements, such as drawing programs. The other setting makes it more sensitive to movement, which means more mouse movement with less hand movement. It's also a good feature if you have limited desk space or are using an airplane tray. This lets you avoid having to use the setup screens to change sensitivity. The scroll wheel is smooth and accurate. It also works for horizontal scrolling if used in conjunction with one of the buttons on the thumb side. It takes getting used to, and is still awkward for me. Those buttons are forward and back buttons by default, so don't use it while editing something on a web page until you are used to it, or you could end up losing everything. A problem is that their Logi software doesn't let you set the scroll increment. It can be done with the Windows mouse settings, but you shouldn't have to go two places to set what the mouse does. Pressing the middle button changes from moving the pointer up and down to scrolling the page up and down. Unfortunately, there's no speed adjustment. The round symbol that pops up should really be a longer vertical symbol that allows greater control over speed. The mouse includes a Logibolt receiver that can plug into a USB port, or you can use the mouse directly with your computer's Bluetooth if it meets the specs. If you use it with your computer's Bluetooth, you remove the tab from the mouse so the battery connects, and then use your computer's Bluetooth configuration. That will save you a USB port. If you need to use the mouse to set up Bluetooth, use the receiver, and then store it inside the mouse once you have your computer's Bluetooth set up. If you use the receiver, plug it into a USB port first, then pull the tab. If you want to be able to use both, there's a button on the bottom to let you set it for up to three different devices. So if it's set for your computer's Bluetooth, and want to set up the receiver to use on another computer, plug in the receiver, touch the button on the bottom of the mouse (the light will move from 1 to 2) and you will be paired. You can also use the third setting for another device. If you paired it to both using the same computer, you can unplug the receiver and use the button to go back to setting 1. If you have a desktop computer, you will want to have the receiver paired, and can use it if you need to change a bios setting, since Windows won't be loaded. So it's good to pair it, even if you will just store it inside the mouse. It would be good to pair it anyway with any computer, so it's ready to go if you ever need it. There's no instruction manual included, nor do they give you a link to one in the configuration software. The QR code takes you to the software download page, but doesn't give a link to the online manual. So some of this wasn't clear to me without searching online. Their original Mouseman came with a 148 page manual and a 48 page getting started guide. The new one comes with pictorial printed on the cardboard it's wrapped in. Something in between might have been nice, even if it were just a link to the manual. Update: 18 months later, it's still working well but the battery is down to 5%. I'm changing the battery.

Good scroll wheel, coming from g305, 18cm hand
Style: Right-Handed, Pattern Name: Mouse, Color: Off White
For reference my hand 18 cm measured from the first crease after your palm to the end of my middle finger. I flexed my wrist and the first crease I used as my end point for my palm. My arms are at a 90 degree angle, and my wrist is neutral (not flexed up or down) due to my wrist rest keeping my wrist straight. Most of my arm weight is on my memory foam wrist rest. My review is based on my personal hand size 1 month update: I have not noticed any staining on my white lift. But I am also a pretty hygienic person and I never touch my mouse if I touched food. 1 year update: Still have not noticed any staining. I do wipe it with a baby wipe maybe once every 1-2 weeks though. One thing to note is that in order to use shortcuts you need to have the Logitech Options+ software installed. The shortcuts/settings you program to you buttons aren't saved on the mouse. Also annoying since the software takes a substantial amount of CPU usage (why????). Wrist pain: This might be because I don't have arm rests so the weight of my arm is resting on the wrist wrest, but I had some minor wrist pains within an hour or so. It didn't really feel like a muscle or bone kind of pain, but a nerve/soft tissue pain. When I didn't use a wrist rest, the weight was mostly the side of my hand, in particular the bony part near the wrist. That part rubbed when moving the mouse around if you don't lift your arm. Edit: After some adjustment I no longer get any wrist pain, even when gaming. Palm grip: I think palm grip would be unusable for this mouse. My fingers extend 0.5-1 cm after the end of the mouse (where the left and right buttons start curving). When clicking the mouse it almost feels like im clicking with my finger joint instead of my fingertip. With a relaxed thumb (thumb slightly curved and only fingertip touching mouse) it is pretty easy to click the side buttons. Side of thumb can press upper button, thumb joint can press lower button. With the entire thumb fully in contact with the mouse, the upper button is a bit awkward to press but possible, and the lower button is the same as relaxed thumb position. Awkward to use the scroll wheel since you have to curve your fingers quite a bit to get your finger tip on the scroll wheel but still usable. Also because of the hand angle, I found it much more comfortable using my middle finger to use the scroll wheel instead of my pointer finger that I use normally. Fingertip grip: Personally I found it feeling different, but perfect. My finger length is perfect so my fingers land around or slightly below where the left and right mouse button start to curve. When I click, the direction of the force from my finger is more diagonally down and to the left. If my fingers were a bit shorter, it the force would be to the left. I found this diagonally force feels more natural, kind of like squeezing a trigger (kinda) instead of just squeezing a mouse. It is hard to describe. In this grip, the only part of my fingers (including my thumb) that are touching the mouse are my fingertips. My palm is resting on the mouse. Thumb characteristics is same as palm grip. Scroll wheel characteristics same as palm grim. Claw grip: Works fine, only problem is pushing lower thumb button is a bit awkward since you kind have to shift your entire thumb back but it is still possible. Easy to use scroll wheel since your fingertips end right next to it Compared to g305: The Lift is much more comfortable and natural. I got used to the Lift very quickly. In comparison, the g305 felt like a petite mouse. The g305 felt hollow, like there was nothing supporting my palm. I didn't have any issues with the mouse shifting when clicking it on my mouse pad. Even on a smooth surface with no mouse pad it would happen rarely. Scroll wheel: Excellent combination of a normal scroll wheel and a free one. I can scroll down all the way to the end of reddit threads and spotify playlists in one scroll. Going back up takes a few scrolls however since I apply less force. Smooth scroll supplied by Logitech Options+ is also nice. Makes it feel like scrolling has inertia. There a lot of very nice features in Logitech Options+ like Logitech Flow
