Light Requirements

Ripple Jade grows best in bright light to full sun. When grown indoors, place it near a bright window with plenty of natural light.

Some morning sun encourages stronger growth and more compact foliage.

Watering

Water thoroughly but allow the soil to dry out completely between watering. Like most succulents, Ripple Jade stores water in its leaves and prefers drier conditions.

Reduce watering during winter.

Soil

Plant in well-draining succulent or cactus soil. Adding perlite or coarse sand improves drainage and prevents root rot.

Feeding

Feed lightly during the growing season with a balanced succulent fertiliser every 4–6 weeks to support healthy foliage growth.

Growth Habit

Ripple Jade grows into a compact succulent shrub, typically reaching 60–90 cm tall over time when mature.

Its sculptural growth habit makes it ideal as a feature plant in pots or succulent displays.
