If you have a jade plant (Crassula ovata), you may need to repot it at some point. When is the right time to do so? And what should you do when you do it? Jade plants can be transplanted at any time during their growing season, but they are typically repotted in the springtime. When repotting, be sure to use a pot with a drainage hole. The soil for jade plants should be well-drained, so mix in some sand or perlite to help improve drainage.
