Greetings friends, I'm new to the world of botany and the wonders it holds but I'm fascinated and would love to give it a try. I was thinking of buying a Jade potted plant for myself but then I thought..."I don't know a thing about taking care of one!" So here I am. Water? Coarse I have water...there's dirt out back, I can get the plant from the store I believe. But is that all I need? I live in Nevada, so I'm not sure if the climate will be alright for the plant... Well, I could sure use some advice on my first plant! Thanks a bunch.
Have a read through the forums for the threads on [SEARCH]jade plant[/SEARCH] - lot of advice there already. One thing that likely won't be mentioned in those threads is that you'll not want to use outside soil - generally too heavy for indoor plant care.
As an aside - what you're wanting to be is a horticulturalist (how to grow plants), more than a botanist (how to study and classify plants)
