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.

Not a great mop, but it is a great vacuum.
Color: Black01
The Roborock Q7 L5 has been a great addition to the cleaning arsenal of my home. I have a 1200sqft one story home with tile and laminate flooring, and it has essentially removed my need to vacuum every day, or even every week, and I have 6 cats. I have had it set to vacuum every night in the common areas of my home, and it is quiet enough that it does not disturb my husband and I when we are sleeping. I only have to empty it out once or twice a week. You MUST make sure your common areas are cleaned up of debris on the floor, and to set no-go zones where you cannot clean up clutter on the floor. It WILL eat cords, shoestrings, animal toys, etc. It WILL get stuck under things, which are where no-go zones come into play. It struggles with cleaning up litter, so I still have to sweep the floor around my cats litter boxes. However, it picks up the cat hair fairly well. It also crosses thresholds VERY well, and will vacuum my area rugs and shower mats that are not affixed to the floor with tape without sucking them up like a normal vacuum does. Some complaints I do have with this model... - It CANNOT be integrated into Home Assistant at this time, which was one of the things I was excited about. Something about a new firmware they started using that is not compatible with the integration starting around this model type. Unfortunate, but whatever. - The mopping function leaves more to be desired. If you put water in the unit, it WILL leak, even if you don't have the mop mount installed or are mopping, so sometimes you end up with little water drips on the floor. I also find that it does not do a very good job at mopping at all, even with wetting the cloth first, but for tile and laminate flooring, dry mopping is fine, so I have been leaving the mop mount installed without mopping to pick up dirt and dust that the vacuum part misses. - The filter was installed incorrectly from factory, and it took me a few weeks to realize that. I have no idea how much dust got sucked up into the motor, so definitely check that when you first get it. - The mop cloth is poorly sewn. It maybe lasted two uses before it started falling apart. Fortunately, I sew, so it can be easily fixed, but I would have hoped that these would have been a little more high quality. - Expect to buy more replacement parts. Especially mop cloths. You will need multiple mop cloths if you are using the roborock to mop with. Overall though, most of my complaints are with the mopping function of this machine. Since I don't mop very often anyway, due to damaged laminate flooring, it works fine for me. Not having to vacuum the entire house every day, or sweeping the kitchen manually every time after I cook is a huge time saver. If you need a robot vacuum, and not a mop, I feel like the Roborock Q7 L5 is a great purchase.

Strong Vacuum Performance, Weak Mop Function
Color: Black01
The Roborock Q7 L5 delivers strong vacuum performance. The suction is powerful and picks up pet hair, dust, and debris with ease. Floors look clean after each run, and the dual anti‑tangle system helps keep the brush clear even in homes with heavy shedding. Navigation is smooth and efficient. It moves around furniture accurately, avoids obstacles well, and returns to the dock reliably when it needs to recharge. The mopping feature is quiet, which is a nice benefit. It operates with very low noise, but the cleaning action is minimal. The mop pad mostly drags behind the unit and offers only a light wipe, so it doesn’t replace a real mop. The vacuum itself is louder, which is expected from a machine with strong suction. It offers different suction levels, so you can adjust the noise and power depending on the room or flooring. What stands out: Excellent suction power Great at picking up pet hair Smart obstacle avoidance Quiet mop function Multiple suction levels Reliable self‑charging What could improve: Mop function is weak Vacuum noise increases at higher suction levels Overall, this is an excellent vacuum with strong cleaning performance and smart features. If vacuuming is your priority, it’s a great choice. The mop is more of a bonus than a true cleaning tool.

Huge Upgrade to my trusty V1 Robot
We've had one of the first model robot vacuums from the og manufacturer which has been a workhorse for us for years! It's the drunk uncle of robots though, no bells and whistles, just your basic robot that runs into everything but gets the job done in some random chaotic pattern. Seeing this on sale and finally just going for it to see how good newer models have gotten (no more separate virtual wall lazers, a nice easy to use app, no more bumping around clumsily!, and more). Well, long story short, they have gotten soooo much better and I'm incredibly glad I gave this one a try. It's is running flawlessly, cleans very well, i love the ease of the app and setting up no-go zones, and pretty much everything else has been an upgrade. Looking forward to many years of our new bot and a cleaner, less noisy, less drunk uncle of a bot around the house. (Don't worry, drunk uncle is still getting his time in down in the basement. He's old reliable at this point and will go as long as he wants to.) This is a great vac that performs wonderfully with all the functions and conveniences I need (i haven't tried the mopping function yet but didn't really buy it for that) at an incredible price point, esp when on sale. If you're looking to upgrade like I did, it's well worth it. If you're looking at your first robot and are unsure if it's something you really need.... trust me, get it. It will save you time, knock one thing off your million item to-do list, and will soon become something you are unsure why it took so long to try.

Updated Review: error code and quit working after only 3 weeks.
Update! I absolutely loved this vacuum.....for about 3 weeks. I ran it every day. I loved loved loved the mapping feature that allowed me to select which rooms of my house I wanted it to clean. It did a pretty good job and I was so happy with it. I took good care of it and cleaned the filter and emptied it often. It was great ...until it didn't work anymore. Fan error: error 155 called for me to factory reset the vacuum which I did 3 times but it still wouldn't go more than about 30 seconds before stopping and giving me the internal error code again. After researching the code (because the website and help book on the app don't list this code in their troubleshooting guide) apparently this is a common thing for this particular model (the Q5 pro) to do. And most of the time it isn't fixable. We were still within the time frame to return it through Amazon so we decided to do that rather than contact customer service in hopes that they might fix it but not and then not be able to return it anymore. Sadly I won't be buying this brand again for a while. My previous vacuum (roomba) lasted me 5 years and still works, just has old technology. I was really hoping for another vacuum with newer technology like house mapping to last me a long time as well. I most likely will be returning to the Roomba brand. Which is sad because this seemed like a great vacuum with great features for a good price. I hope roborock improves their models and fixes these error issues and maybe one day I'll give them a try again. Maybe. Original review: I love this vacuum. I had another brand that was 5 year old technology and just caused more headache than help. This one is a huge improvement. I love how it initially mapped out my house and I was able to divide and name the rooms in the app. Now I can tell it to clean only certain rooms or the whole house and it does great and doing only the rooms I want it to do. I connected it to my Google speaker as well and now I can tell google to make my roborock clean my kitchen. I can also control it and monitor it from the app even when I'm not home. The mop feature isn't great. It really doesn't clean, more just puts water on the floor and leaves dirty streaks. But I didn't buy it for the mop function. If it does a great job vacuuming, which it does, I'm happy with it.
