Jade plant

[Tom Markert]

Hey, new to the group so please be nice...
My girlfriend bought me a jade plant as a gift and I would like to
repot it. (it probably needs it)
I know a bit about plants from having the aquatic types that I raise
and used to sell to pet shops, but what I wanted to ask is:
Should I do it now while it is somewhat dormant (being winter here)
And what would be the best soil mixture to use? ie part sand/part
potting soil... Straight mushroom soil... ecetra.....
Anyfertilizers to start with? In the aqua stuff we put down a "first
layer" that helps feed the roots...
Sorry I dont remember the scientific name, but it seems to be a common
Jade plant...
Thanks in advance

This should answer most of your questions. If not, hit "search" and
type in "jade plant" and you should find the answer.
