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.

Ford.Grant. That is all
Format: Kindle
Umm ok so this was literally the most PERFECT thing. This book is special. These characters are special and beautiful, and so wonderful. So precious. I love them all. I love this book. I'm blown away. You know those rare books that enchant you from the very first sentence, the ones that grab your heart and don’t let it go? THIS. This is one of those books. I adore this book with my entire heart. It was so utterly perfect in all the best and right ways. I honestly just wish I could go back and read this again for the first time because it was SO GOOD. I devoured this in two days and was just absolutely giddy while reading about Ford and Rosie’s love story. I swear, Elsie Silver wrote my love language with these two. The sarcastic and witty exchanges between them is what I absolutely loved and couldn’t get enough of. Their attraction towards one another and the fact they were so clearly head over heels in love was undeniable and the tension between the two of them was so palpable that it gave me all the feels. My heart absolutely ached for these two, even when I was literally laughing out loud over their banter. And boy, the way they loved each other just swept me off my feet in my most favourite way. I don’t know what my favourite part of this story was. There isn’t just one. There’s many. It’s all of it. There’s so much to it that if I was to really dive into it, I’d come out with an essay. All of that to say, I loved it. I really, really loved this story. Soul level and all the good stuff. I cannot say anything bad about this book. It’s up there as one of my all-time favourites and I love it with every fibre of my being. A million hats off to Elsie Silver for this one, because I know this is a story I’ll be thinking about for a long time. Elsie Silver can truly do no wrong. She is the blueprint, and I will read her books forever.

Banter and tension and a little storm cloud perfection
Format: Kindle
I'm convinced that Elsie Silver puts some sort of crack in her books. They are always exciting and immediately grab you, especially with the characters. And Wild Love is no exception. Great characters all around with such a perfect journey to their HEA. You know the kind of relationship you might have with a friend's younger sibling? The one where you're kind of mean but maybe deep down you like them? Like the juvenile antics of pulling the girl's ponytail on the playground when you are just a kid? THAT is Ford and Rosie! From when they were teens to even now as adults and I frickin loved the fire banter that gave them. These two are hilarious together, yet you could feel their tension was building up to something even more. "That journal entry is fascinating, but all wrong. I was at home when you called that night. And I broke every speed limit to get to you." While I absolutely loved Ford and Rosie's characters and the way they played off one another, I actually really liked another character and the relationship she had with both Rosie and Ford. And she's the little storm cloud that no one saw coming. She is the reason I initially fell for Ford from the first chapter. Because if you weren't already swooning at the very beginning of this story for Ford Grant, then this may not be the book for you. But the way this man steps up for a stranger claiming that she's his daughter and he just does 'the right thing' is unheard of. Maybe slightly unbelievable, but this is why we read romance and that is why there are Ford Grants. Because we see that decision is totally and 100% him over the course of the story. And that girl? Cora? She is the perfect character to upend his world for a time. Loved how they made their situation work and I loved how everything grew not only between the two of them, but also between her and Rosie. Small things became big things with these 3 and I couldn't have loved it more. Elsie Silver gave us such a great start to a brand new series. The characters are sexy and hilarious and just work together perfectly. I cannot wait to continue with this series. If you enjoy: Single Dad Small town Frenemies to lovers Best Friend's sister with the best cast of characters that delivered great banter and sizzling chemistry, then Wild Love is THE book to pick up!

I am head over heals in love with Ford and Rosie!!!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
I am head over heals in love with Ford and Rosie!!! 5⭐️+ This is my new favorite book by Elsie! I'm OBSESSED!!! The way this man has loved Rosie since he was a teenager. Ford is the new standard! I love this man sooo much. The banter in this book is chef's kiss! I struggled because I loved this book so much that I didn't want it to end!🥰 🌹Childhood Frenemies-to-Lovers 🩷Brother's Best Friend 🌹Single Dad 🩷Small-Town 🌹He Falls First . “I broke every speed limit to get to you.” . Review: I don't even know where to begin with this one! I'm WILDY OBSESSED! I absolutely LOVED Ford and Rosie! We met Ford in Heartless in the Chestnut Springs series. I loved the little bits we got and couldn't way to get Ford's story! This is one of those books that I struggle to write a review for because I loved it so much that I worry I won't do it justice! I loved it so freaking much! Just read it! NOW! The End! Just kidding, kind of.😝 Rosalie Belmont comes back to Rose Hill due to some unforseen changes in her life. She has worked so hard and life isn't turning out like she thought it would. Ford is the World's Hottest Billionaire. He's making a home in Rose Hill and setting up his new Recording Studio when he gets an unexepected knock at his door. One he never saw coming. The connection between Ford and Rosie was so incredible. You could literally feel it come off the page. I laughed so hard at the banter between them, and their emails were pretty much my favorite. I think I had a smile on my face for 90+% of this book! The way Ford will do anything for the women he loves. He was so protective and absolutely incredible. I LOVE Ford Grant Jr! The storyline of this book was fabulous in every way. So unique and fun! I loved how we were able to get bits of their past sprinkled throughout. I was not expecting the single dad trope to be what it was, but I loved it even more because of it! Cora🌧 captured my heart and I am so thankful that she has Ford and Rosie in her life. I loved seeing Willa and her quirkiness. I will never get over her! I can't wait for West's story! And Dad's Night Out bowling league had me cracking up!😂 I listened to the audiobook by Vanessa Edwin and Zachary Webber. These two are a FANTASTIC duo and did such a great job bringing Rosie and Ford to life! SO FREAKING GOOD! I highly recommend this book and especially this audiobook! I have already started relistening to it!😝😂 Definitely at TOP READ of 2024!

⭐⭐⭐.5
Format: Kindle
The best part of this book is Ford. Hands down. No question. And to be honest, he deserves someone better than Rosie. I get that she’s supposed to be the whirlwind of a woman who can stand on her own two feet and doesn’t need a man telling her what to do. But, am I allowed to say that she just got annoying after a while? The reason for the high-ish rating considering my disdain for the main character is the rest of the characters. I ended up loving Cora, and the relationship that she forged with Ford was a major selling point for me. Her situation was utterly crappy, and her sullen demeanor reflected that in conjunction with teenage angst very well. I loved how they bonded over a mutual love of music, and his approach to letting her know that he cared without being creepy or too overzealous. I also liked Ford’s parents. His father is a famous musician, so he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. However, Cora comes to be because his father wants him to make his own way in the world. I haven’t ever read a book that took this approach, and it was a cool twist of fate. Wes adds some comedy to the plot as Rosie’s older brother, and I am intrigued by his story in book 2. All in all, this is a very easy read with enough spice to keep you from skipping to the end. It just wasn’t my favorite.

LOVED this book!!!
Format: Kindle
I feel like this fit perfectly into the “wholesome spice” category — warm hug / feel good vibes, slow burn, enemies / rivals to lovers, small town romance, childhood crushes — it was all just very sweet! Some parts of this book also were so funny I not only laughed out loud, but read the excerpts to my husband because I was so amused. Very enjoyable & easy read!
