Recently moved my Jade 名媛直播 outdoors, when I went to see how she was doing she easily had 20+ ants on her. Are ants harmful for Jade 名媛直播s ???

Ants are not but they "harvest" the excretion of aphids which are probably on the jade. You can wipe of the aphids or use a spray. The ants will leave after that

I have seen insects totally demolish jade plants to get the water stored in their leaves during dry conditions. Never seen ants do that, but I have a hunch that at least some species could do that.

Is it very dry where you are right now?

Ants keep coming back no matter what I do.

Put the plant on a stand with the feet in water, isolating the tree from the ants, so they can't cross the water. Then kill the aphids, which is easy because they don't move, and you can just wipe them off.

If that is not practical, try systemic insect killers. Or, put ant traps close to the trees.
