I am happy to have found this website and am now a new member. I live in western part of the state of Washington and currently we are having an over abundance of rain. To much for our gardens.
My question right now is regarding my 10 year old Jade Plant. It is getting very "lanky"
and I am having a hard time propping it up. Can it be pruned and if so, how much. I have taken off some branches and will be rooting them (in water, o.k.?) Any information is very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, Annitee.... [wavey]
Welcome to the forum!

I don't have a jade plant, and don't know much about them, but Bill has a lot of info here...
Growing Guide For Jade Plants
Notice the other links he has at the bottom of this page.
There is one there for propagation.

Nice to meet you!

Cindy

In those links I posted above, I found this...
quote:
Jades can be pruned to whatever shape you desire. The parts that have been removed can be rooted and used as new plants.

If you are interested, I would love to take one of the rooted cuttings off your hands! [Wink] I don't know much about them, but they are beautiful plants and I would love to have one.
And welcome to the forum! [wavey]

Jade is one of the plants that don't like to root in water. It is best in soil kept on the dryer side.
And if your jade is getting top-heavy with a bare trunk, You can actually repot into a deeper pot. The trunk part will develop roots and help stabilize the whole plant.

Getting old is the pits. But it sure beats the alternative. My Blog
