Repot with ease
A jade plant develops into a characterful houseplant over time. This ready-to-use compost is intended for potting and planting Crassula ovata. Suitable container size and responsive watering complement the mix.
- Check the jade plant and pot size
Check roots and stability. Choose a suitable container with drainage that is not excessively larger than the root ball.
- Fill around the sides
Fill gaps with compost and firm lightly. Stabilise the plant without heavily compressing the medium.
- Support establishment
After about 4–6 weeks, feed responsively during active growth. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.
After about 4–6 weeks, feed responsively during active growth.

Root space & plant care
Jade Plant Compost in everyday use
Which plant is it for?
Design with suitable plants
Jade plants store water in their fleshy leaves. Provide a bright position, introduce stronger sun gradually and allow appropriate drying between waterings. Account for reduced uptake during cooler, lower-light winter conditions.

Composition & nutrition
For new root space
Ready-to-use compost for jade plants (Crassula ovata). The space around the root ball determines the amount required.
Details & background
See the product information for the full composition and nutrient declaration. Account for the existing nutrient supply before adding further fertiliser.
Repotting in eight steps
Repot a jade plant gently
Choose a stable pot only slightly larger than the existing root ball. Add the ready-to-use compost loosely around the sides, keeping the thickened stem base at its previous level.
-
Check the jade plant and pot size
Check roots and stability. Choose a suitable container with drainage that is not excessively larger than the root ball.
-
Prepare the planting space
Prepare a suitable container with clear drainage holes and additional room around the root ball. For soil-independent pot culture only.
-
Release the root ball gently
Unpot while preserving healthy fine roots. Gently loosen a dense outer root mat without unnecessarily breaking up the ball.
-
Loosen the compost
Loosen the ready-to-use medium and add a base layer. Account for existing nutrients rather than automatically adding starter fertiliser.
-
Retain the planting level
Position the root-ball surface at its previous level. Do not bury the root collar or crown deeply; leave watering space in containers.
-
Fill around the sides
Fill gaps with compost and firm lightly. Stabilise the plant without heavily compressing the medium.
-
Water in slowly
Water slowly to settle the compost against the root ball. Allow excess water to drain completely from containers.
-
Support establishment
After about 4–6 weeks, feed responsively during active growth. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.
Ongoing plant care
Jade plants store water in their fleshy leaves. Provide a bright position, introduce stronger sun gradually and allow appropriate drying between waterings. Account for reduced uptake during cooler, lower-light winter conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Is this peat-free?
No. The mix contains high-moor peat and the other ingredients listed in the product information.
When should I feed?
After about 4–6 weeks, feed responsively during active growth.
How much compost do I need?
The space between the existing root ball and the new planting space is decisive. The bag contains 5 litres; the root ball already occupies part of the volume.
What matters in continued care?
Jade plants store water in their fleshy leaves. Provide a bright position, introduce stronger sun gradually and allow appropriate drying between waterings. Account for reduced uptake during cooler, lower-light winter conditions.
