Add Your Opinion About This Plant SongofJoy57 (49) wrote on Aug 24 2008 The way that I determine if my jade plants need water is to gently squeeze one of it's "leaves" . . . if it is soft instead of firm then I water moderately. I like this opinion 3 people like this opinion dooley (2) wrote on Jun 09 2008 I had one that spread about 35 inches across and it was about two feet high. There was a jewelry store in Wisconsin that had one that filled the whole front window area.
