There are many things to consider, such as where is the cactus, when is it growing, what year is it, what type or succulent you have, which soil do you use, what is its temperature, etc. Apart from knowing the type of cactus, it is also important to determine where to plant them. Jade takes a while to grow so you need to be patient and allow the plant to develop. Even though the growth rate will be slower, it will still happen. Sometimes you can place your plant outside so it can get the sun. Plants with yellow-orange foliage receive full sunlight and poor soil.
