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

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.

Pawsitively Stimulating🐾
Color: Blue
When my hooman brought this home, I thought it was fur their computer. After all, it has a plug and lights up. When they placed it on the floor, I was pawsomely surprised. Fur real, this little ball is wierd. It doesn't taste at all like my favorite tennis ball. I was a pawplexed that sometimes when I was finally brave enough to get it and hold it in my mouth, it would start jumping around. I think my hoomans finally found a toy that will keep me busy for a while. Mom is howling with excitement because it kept me interested for a long time. I hope I can sleep tonight. I see mom has plugged in my new toy to keep it "charged"- whatever that means....I never had a toy that came with its own leash before. Mom says she is gonna save the toy until other hoomans come over to keep me from being too ruff with them. You see the video, do I look a dog who could be too ruff?- Sincerely, the family dog, a bona-fido toy reviewer

Freaks my dogs out.
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
My dogs really don't know what to make of these. They mostly follow it around, staring at it curiously, but semi-afraid to approach it. That, or they'll bark at it. It charges quickly and has multiple modes to engage your pet with. It also locks closed securely ... for the most part. That said, there are some downsides. This toy is mostly made for smaller dogs. I'd say 40 or 50 pounds max. While the plastic shell feels hard and durable, it's not hard enough for a big dog's jaws. My big bulldog mix bore down on this with his teeth, and I hard the plastic starting to snap. It's tough, but not great if your dog is the type who likes to put the pressure on.

Fun, engaging dog toy that keeps pets entertained, but battery life could be better
Color: Blue
I’ve been using the ITEHZTO Interactive Dog Ball Automatic Dog Toy for my dog, and overall it’s been a great way to keep him active and engaged, especially when I’m busy or not able to play fetch. The different play modes are a nice feature, and the unpredictable movement really grabs his attention. It does a good job of encouraging exercise and mental stimulation. The USB-C charging is convenient, and I appreciate not having to mess with batteries. The size is also good for small to medium dogs, and it feels durable enough to handle regular play. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the battery life doesn’t last as long as I expected, especially when using the more active modes. Also, on harder flooring it can be a bit noisy as it bounces around. Overall, it’s a fun and useful interactive toy that my dog genuinely enjoys. With slightly longer battery life and quieter operation, it would easily be a 5-star product.

Great stimulation for a 'busy' pup
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
I’ll admit I was a little skeptical since my German Shepherd is well over the recommended weight limit for this ball, but it’s been a huge hit. Even though it’s technically for smaller breeds, it has held up remarkably well so far. I’ve mostly kept it on the gentle mode, and that’s more than enough to grab her attention and keep her occupied for quite a while. The design is actually much tougher than the warnings suggest; the two halves screw together so securely that she hasn't been able to pry it open, which is impressive for a tough chewer. It’s been a great way to keep her mentally engaged indoors without worrying about the toy falling apart immediately.
