Jade flowers

I mentioned a while back that my big jade plant bonsai was covered in flower buds. They had appeared on the plant two or three weeks earlier but only one or two buds had developed into actual flowers. Over the past week, I wondered how I could get the plant to produce more flowers. I couldn't put it outside because our morning temperatures were down near freezing.

The only thing I could think of was watering it lightly every day for a week. It was pretty dry. And it worked.
There are now more flowers on the the plant. They're not spectacular — they're tiny —
but there are about two dozen of them now.

    1. I had a big jade like the one I have now. It spent the winter outside and always looked good. But I don't think it ever produced any flowers that I noticed.

  5. I didn’t know that Jade plants flowered. I’ve had several for years. Perhaps someday….

    1. I have three or four other jade plants in the house and greenhouse. None of those have blossomed.
