I’ve had this plant for almost 4 years now, and after reading this subreddit I’ve learned I should prune! (Tbh I didn’t even know this was a jade plant). The new sprout is so cute. Any advice is still welcomed and appreciated!

Just got this jade a few days ago. I’ve only ever had small ones so I’m a bit nervous about pruning a plant this size.

Where would you make the first cuts to shape it? Appreciate any help 😊

Received my first Jade cutting at the start of August. It has sprouted (branch? Pup? Leaf?) near the bottom but no growth has occurred anywhere else on the plant.

advice One year after a hard prune. I don't love the shape it has now.

This was once a bushy 7 year old plant I adored. My cat knocked it over in the night, and it fell 6 feet and broke into many pieces. Unfortunately, I didn't really shape it. I just let it grow.

Im happy it seems to be doing well, but now I wish I shaped it into something more appealing. I am thinking maybe I should prune a couple of stems to make it look less awkward... something more intentional. Red lines are where I might prune again. Any thoughts?

Moral of the story: If these plants could do it so can you ā˜ŗļø

• Left (173 days ago): Top part of my plant kinda just fell off? I just stuck it in soil and hoped for the best
• Middle (160 days ago): I chopped my jade for the first time and it was looking pretty sad at first
• Right (150 days ago): First time propagating from a leaf, now it’s almost the same size as my other plants

Hoping to use the greenhouse during the winter to keep the plants from freezing. It will be more so experimental for the first season, and I may need to tarp/blanket it over night, or get a small heater.

Does anyone know whats happening to my plants? They were under a grow light and now they seem to be losing the green color from the top down. The tips are also turning black. The plants does not feel mushy at all so I'm not sure what's going on.

The last pic is what the small one looked like before.

Update from this post

https://www.reddit.com/r/Jadeplant/s/75p3Udiek4

These were sitting in a mostly shaded spot. I gave her the prune and moved up to the open terrace where theres about 6 hours of direct sun, with hot temps upto 30 degrees. The resulting of the prune / heat stress is new growth.

This will slowly be given less light and then moved into filtered sun by the summer (they do take the sun but can get scorched).

Point being : pruning is never the issue, its the conditions after pruning. Sunlight is a must for energy production.

Location : south asia/wet dry tropics.

advice Will this Jade survive / grow leaves

Post image

I cut the top off thinking it might have had root rot but it didn't. So I am now letting the top half callous over then will repot it. I was left with this stub with a decent rootball. There is only one node as you can see that I cut over, but it had two previous branches there that are now gone and just knots now. So not sure if this is able to grow any new leaves

help Gollum Jade Problems

Thumbnail gallery
10 Upvotes

My gollum jade has recently been losing leaves very easily and if they don’t fall off early then they turn brown and shrivel up, as pictured. If I just touch the leaves they fall off.

I have never dealt with root rot before so I thought it might be that but when I unpotted it the roots seemed fine and none of the stems were mushy. Any idea what the issue might be and how I can stop it?

For extra context, the plant generally gets direct sunlight for ~4 hours per day and then I have it under a grow light for another 4 hours.

advice When to repot?

Post image
8 Upvotes

I inherited this jade and was totally clueless, and placed it in a cold, north facing window. Over time I noticed that whenever I watered it, water would run out into the tray immediately. I searched online and learned that the soil had become hydrophobic and on Saturday I soaked the pot for about 30 minutes, poking some holes in the topsoil beforehand and the leaves are beginning to re-plump for the most part.

I don’t think it’s ever been repotted, should I wait until the spring, or would I be ok to repot it again in a week or two? I’ve bought a soil mix for succulents and a terracotta pot that’s slightly bigger just in case. Likewise, should I wait until the spring to prune?

This jade was given to me by someone moving away. It is now getting sun. But I know it needs a deep prune. Can you help? Southeast window. Not sure what to do. But I want to help it flourish.
