Not knowing the size of the tree.....you can spray or dip it with Sevin.....................if you dip it...........use a 5 gallon bucket and put the whole thing inside the container with all the amount of water and let it carefully sink to the buttom and wait for the bubbles to stop......if the top of it is sticking out use a can to get the mix and get it on the top on all sides...................make sure that you read the container of Sevin for a proper mix for jade...............there are some plants that you can't use Sevin on.....I don't use this for food products...............this is a chemical and you must dress accordingly.........mask, goggles, old long clothes and gloves.................take the plant out and let it drip dry.
