I've started my jade plant from cuttings probably 20 years ago, but I never knew that I could control the number and direction of the branches! My plant looks like a tangled briar patch, but now I can make it look more like trees! The branches are quite thick so it has potential. How exciting! Thank you!

[@lillywhite7443]

I have been growing jades for most of my life and never knew I could prune or direct how it grew until now. I had been staking my weak and leggy plants as they grew longer and longer. After watching a few of your jade how-to's, I can now say that I have successfully removed the staking and ties, pruned up, repotted in cactus/succulent medium and excited to see how I will train my jades from now on. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! 🙂

[@plushpuppy187]

Three years ago I bought a small pot with three plants with lovely trunks in it. I've nurtured it, and it is doing well, and I now want to split each tree into its own pot and shape them. The problem I have is when I prune, half the time no new leaves grow. I have stumpy areas where nothing has grown in. It's maddening and I wish I knew why this happens all the time. Also, how long before the trunks thicken up from cuttings? I've some from a friend's plant from 4 years ago, that grow up, but get no thicker. This one has been a challenge. I remember my grandmother's Jade that she was given in the late 1800s (yes, you read that number correctly) as a birthday present from a family member. It was in a very small planter, kept on a window sill, and it was the 'mother' of so many plants. A cousin took it in 1982 when my grandmother passed away at the age of 98, and it was still going strong even after it was 100 years old. Now that I actually have a situation with plenty of sun, I am determined to grow some lovely jades in memory of Nana.

[@elizabethshammash]

Thank you, you have helped me so much! I was totally afraid to prune my jades. They were leggy and falling over and growing in crazy directions- but I was afraid to kill them. Your video helped me prune and shape with confidence and trust that they would grow back healthier and prettier. It was so cathartic, and they look so much better! A year later, it's Spring again...and I am watching your video all over again to refresh. Very clear instructions and I am so grateful.

Very helpful. Especially the part where you showed that you pruned one stem so the new shoots will grow out left/right, and the next stem so the new shoots will grow out front/back. Makes perfect sense but I never thought about it. I successfully got my jade to do some branching out last year, and I think I'm not going to trim it anymore until it gets much bigger. I have 4 stalks in one pot that are only about 7" tall or so. Time to let it fill in this summer!

I don't know why pruning my jade is so hard! Ive been up to it with shears 4 times now, maybe more! I go to do it, chicken out, walk away.. repeat.. In the end I cut one peice off yesterday and I might as well have been cutting off my own finger with the amount of contemplation I gave it! It needs more pruning but I needed a sit down after lol I love jade plants, so forgiving, easy to care for, easy to propagate, nice green shiney leaves. just pretty plants! 💚 Thanks for the video and the added courage 😂

[@EverythingPlants]

It's terrifying to prune them the first time and even a few times after that haha. I think you honestly did the right thing and just start small (assuming you've never pruned it before) so you can see how it responds. Just me, it never gets easy with a hard prune and afterwards I'm like "what have I done" and then three week later you see beautiful new growth and can breathe again 🤣

[@DolceVitaGurl]

I’m not sure mine is a jade, the overall look is the same, same trunk and growth habit but the leaves have a little dip in the middle and a pointed end. It was a gift. I almost killed it once before deciding to love it into remission. Two years later it’s healthy and growing so i decided to prune it after watching this. Thanks for the video, it reminded me that plants like to be pruned. Hopefully it will keep growing beautifully!

​@@EverythingPlants It's the only plant I have because I don't like unaliving them. lol I wish pictures could be shared on YT. When I got it they said repot in a year. It's been 6 months. It's in a small in a 3" high pot. The center stem has grown to 5 1/2" tall from the top of the pot. 3 stems, the 2 on the outsides are leaning in a V the taller it gets. I'm thinking the growing will slow down now and I can repot in the spring. Is that what you would suggest? Or do I have to trim it...gasp? Or can I use a tie to support it? Sorry for so many questions. I understand it's hard to say without seeing it. PS I was told it is a Crassula not Jade.

I was glad to hear you sand spring and SUMMER. My jades are overdue, haven't been pruned in several years, and it's mid June. In past prunnings, I ended up with way more cuttings than I could handle. I gave some away to family members who now have more than they want. I hate to dispose of them. Maybe offer them on craigslist? Propagating is easy peazy. Maybe too easy. I could open a jade plant business if there were people willing to adopt them.

What should I consider doing first? Transplanting or pruning? I don’t want to shock my plant. I THINK they (4-5 smaller, but tall and leggy plants) could remain in the pot for another year or so (especially after seeing how crowded your young plants are). Thoughts? Also, I appreciate how “drastic” your cuts are: it is a bit “freeing” knowing how, where, and how much I can cut and not ruin my plants. Thank you!

[@ronanwil5762]

approximately how long did it take for the stem cuttings to root and did you lose any leaves in that time? I planted a stem cutting a few weeks ago and was concerned it might not root but this video has given me a lot more hope for it

[@EverythingPlants]

Hello. It might take a couple weeks to grow roots. I only water a very small amount in that time so the stem doesn't rot. I just took a cutting for a friend recently and almost all the leaves got extremely wrinkly and I didn't know if it would survive or not. I gave the stem a tug and it was rooted nicely so I gave it a good watering and now all the leaves thickened up back to normal.

[@IZXReaper]

I'd left some cuttings out over winter, might have been 4 or 5 months (literally just sat in a pot of gravel) and they had small root systems without watering (I meant to throw them away). Very tough to kill and if the leaves shrivel up, they soon become plump after a thorough watering

Then use the yellow sticky traps to catch the adult ones. In a few weeks you should definitely see a decrease in those pesky buggers.

But, I killed it as well, by allowing it to become to cold while moving one winter. So I'm about to give up. And thank you for your reply.

Wow! You explain everything SO well! Thank you so much for your video! I have a few jade plants I haven’t touched that are in serious need of some help. And you explained about the ways the new branches would grow. I had no idea. Thank you! Look forward to watching more of your videos!

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks so much for watching and I am so glad you enjoy the video. Every time I do a prune or propagation, I always try and watch closely how the plant responds so I can learn from it and pass along the info to all my amazing viewers LIKE YOU!!!

[@kcbknitter]

This is very helpful. I have some plants I started from cuttings from my moms giant jade plant that she had for years. Now I know how to get it to look like someone loves it. Thanks.

[@EverythingPlants]

Yes!!! Good luck and keep me posted with how it goes for you.

I inherited an overgrown jade tree that has been allowed to grow up and flop in all directions. I’ve used your video to provide me with the courage to prune. It’s appearance was about 12” but IF I could have erected the branches, it would have doubled that. I’ve clipped-off 13 branches from the main trunk! Over the next few weeks, I’ll be gently straightening the clippings and observing the tree. Should I fertilize the tree?

[@connieb1970]

This video is so helpful. Thankyou. Do you have any tips for soil mix, especially for offcuts?

[@EverythingPlants]

I use a cactus/succulent mix for all my jades. Good for propagations too

[@jessicabronner9493]

Thank you so much! I’m scared to prune but you’ve helped a lot!

[@EverythingPlants]

Glad I could help!

[@1LindaJMacKay]

I have a 12+ yr old Jade plant which has really received minimal attention. I transplanted it recently, and it has been sending out new growth so I think its happy! I barely water, and it sits in a super sunny window. I appreciate your video and will likely try propegating more than I have! ❤

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks for this comment. I really do appreciate these types of comments. Good luck with your future propagations with your Jade.

This is my GO TO jade pruning/prop video. I saved it, because I get so nervous every time it's time to manicure the ones I have. It's not often, 😂 so I forget details or seemingly lose confidence in the process. But this is just such a helpful reminder/refresher that 'I GOT THIS' 😂. Everything went so well last year I am trimming back a couple from that year's prop too! I kinda put it off a little this year and my oldest, and first leaf sewn jade from a couple years ago got real top heavy. I hacked away resulting in several new lil jade stems... Tad bummed out, almost took it down to a pile of leaves because I had forgotten that stocks will root too... Though small there are many. 😂 I only hope one year I can get through a chill haircut, and not be all Edward Scissorhands, and rooting from scratch. If it takes 10-30 years to have a dense lil tree, I gotta get this trunk going....

[@sarahcosta4882]

Thank you very much for this video! I have a huge Jade that is so top heavy it keeps falling over. I am going to start pruning today!!🥰

[@EverythingPlants]

Awesome! Let me know how it turns out.

[@lnschreiber]

Very helpful. I've been hesitating to trim my plant

[@EverythingPlants]

Glad you liked the video!

[@burstangeldoggie]

My jade plant is still a baby! I recently repotted her cause she was getting root rot but the 3 main trunks are weighed down so imma try to prune it so that i can strengthen it!

[@EverythingPlants]

Root rot from over watering?

[@vinutahampiholi9109]

Great info, but would appreciate if you put up a screen behind the plant you are working on or keep it in a place where there are no plants behind so that its clearly visible. Thanks 😊

[@EverythingPlants]

I will see what I can do.

[@kyipadolma9105]

Thanks for showing us the pruning. I got one question- what causes the jade leaves going brownish color with silvery shine? Any solution for this.? Hope to get ur expert tips. Thanks

[@EverythingPlants]

It's tough to tell without seeing it, but from what you described it may be leaf burn. Feel free to send a picture to my Instagram everything_plants_ca

[@byamlam]

I enjoy gardening, both indoor and outdoor but I have yet a lot to learn. Best planting tutorial I have ever seen. High quality video and easy to understand demonstration. I also like the follow-up video. Follow!

[@EverythingPlants]

Thank you so much. This comment made my day. Here is the update video and its two months old already. There is also a houseplant tour video that all my Jades are in. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKq6YZRjg714epI

@@EverythingPlants I finally took the courage to prune my weirdly grown jade plants. I also propagated into 5 small pots. I hope they will grow, fingers crossed. Unfortunately I don’t think I can upload photos to show you. Thanks again.

[@EverythingPlants]

@@byamlam you can send plant pictures to my Instagram if you have that. I'd love to see your Jade!

[@byamlam]

@@EverythingPlants I just did. 😁

[@lindam9018]

Well that is going to be quite the tree in the future! I've only ever seen photos of jade plants with those trunks, like Bonsai. Great video, I will definitely try this in the future!

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks Linda. I have a couple more Jades like this and will be doing some more pruning videos soon....if people want to see them that is?!?!

[@EverythingPlants]

You should see the trunk of the next one I plan on pruning.

[@sharidooly6168]

Your jade is beautiful..I hope mine look like that someday..thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks for watching. It takes a bit of time but it definitely will!

[@Aychy72]

Hey! Best video on Jade plant by far, keep up the good work.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks so much!

[@elidoor3659]

thank u for such a pleasant show and tell. I was afraid to chop my pot of Jade that is falling all over the place (esp since its also my daughter's name- lol) but now it feels good. I am gonna try the leave thing at the end- that how i do snake plants sometimes. thx!

[@EverythingPlants]

Good luck Eli....you can do it!

[@zhanwang3601]

Learned a lot from this. I subscribed. Now do I have to wait till spring to prune my jade. My jade plant is over 10 years old but the trunk is still small. Thank you.

[@EverythingPlants]

Hello Norma and welcome to the channel. I would recommend pruning in spring as the plant begins to ramp up growth with the increasing spring sunlight...you can prune in the winter, it won't harm the plant, but it may grow slow or not at all. Hope this helps!

[@noahwilke]

Great video! What's the purpose of letting the cuttings sit for a few days before potting?

[@EverythingPlants]

Hey Noah. It is so the fresh cut ends harden over so no bacteria or fungus enter.

[@sharron4813]

Thanks for the info. Was needed. I’ve been very lucky with a jade plant given to me about 4 yrs ago. I even repotted last year and it broke in two. And both are surviving like crazy. I’ve never pruned. Makes sense too. So wish me luck🤞🏻🤞🏻both plants are massive. So hopefully this gets some of the weight off lol.

[@EverythingPlants]

Good luck. I would always recommend pruning with what you are comfortable with. Start small and work your way up.

[@gisall8205]

THANKS Buddy. Is there a Safe fertilizer that you can suggest for the Indoor Jade plants' THANKS.

[@nje324]

Such a helpful video!! Can’t wait to see how my jade plant spreads out!

[@EverythingPlants]

Good luck Nancy!

[@marlamock6694]

Thank you. I did it, and it worked just like you said!

[@EverythingPlants]

Great job!

[@heidimay9510]

Really, really helpful. So clear and thorough. And reassuring! Thank you.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks Heidi! Are you chopping up a jade?
