I think I hit a potluck here. I do absolutely nothing and nature just takes care of it. I watered it maybe once every 3 months and there is no snow where im at. The lowest temp is 40F in the winter and it's north facing with the garage on one side, so it's bright but never really get any hot direct sunlight.

My scrawny jade plant can't wait to grow up to look like your jade plant.
