Large Jade Tree Repot: Pot Size, Ceramic Breaking, and Group Lift

Pot Size Rule

Pot diameter ≥ ½ plant width. 4-ft jade needs 24"+ pot.

Heavy Lift Protocol

1. 3–4 people.
2. Ceramic pot? May need to break it (sacrifice pot, save roots).
3. Pre-fill new pot to correct height.
4. Lift root ball intact; settle; backfill.
5. Water once; then dry completely.

Post-Repot

No water until soil dry at bottom (weeks). Damaged roots + water = rot.
