Light: Ripple jade plants prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially morning sunlight, but avoid intense afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.
 
Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top inch or so of soil feels dry to the touch, then let excess water drain away. During winter, reduce watering as the plant goes into a semi-dormant state.
 
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot, which can occur if the soil remains soggy.
 
Temperature and Humidity: Ripple jade plants prefer average to warm temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). They can tolerate higher temperatures but may need increased humidity in dry indoor environments. Normal indoor humidity levels are usually sufficient.
 
Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer formulated for cacti and succulents during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in winter when growth slows down.
 
Pruning and Maintenance: Trim leggy growth or prune to shape the plant as desired. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.
