Frozen Jade Plant: Recovery First, Repot Later

Immediate: Don't Repot

Jade (Crassula ovata) froze, new leaves emerging, dead parts removed, rootbound.

Priority: Recovery

• Leave in current pot.
• No frost exposure this year.
• Dead tissue left on temporarily protects live tissue.
• Water sparingly – only when dry.

Repot in April

• After frost danger passes.
• Cactus mix + extra perlite.
• Pot 1–2 inches wider.
• Trim circling roots.

Jade Resilience

They bounce back from freeze if roots survive. Patience now prevents shock.
