How to prune a JADE INTO A TREE

[@NatTayHill]

I used the keiki paste on my 3 different types of Jade plants and boy did it work!!! My variegated Jade busted out new growth at every single spot where I put it. Too bad I can’t post photos here!

[@EverythingPlants]

Oh wow.... Very interesting. Did you make a little cut in the stem and then place the paste? You could send a picture to my Instagram

[@sandramoss8726]

What is Keiki paste and where do I buy it?

[@andyandbee]

@@sandramoss8726Amazon. And it’s like hormone paste. Cytokinin and something else

[@lanicanabano6778]

Hi Jeff… love your Jade plants. I have one right now and will plan on pruning it soon. But my concern is, I always get mealy bugs on my jade plants. What do you do or use to avoid it? Thanks, Jeff

[@ClaireSiconolfi]

I do love your Jade videos. They’re so educationally brutal!

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks so much!!!!

[@mollys1584]

Hi Jeff! I majorly pruned my 12" bowl ofjade. You gave me the inspiration do it! Lots of thicker woody stems. After about a month there's a ton of new growth. I think the overall effect will be a small forest as opposed to one tree. Yours are beautiful!!!

[@EverythingPlants]

That is so awesome to hear!

[@None2Lose]

That last cutting you showed would look great for bonsai. I think I might give it a go when I prune mine. Love your jade videos!

[@EverythingPlants]

You should!

[@dejah6328]

I can't even put into words how detailed and helpful this video is. Thank you so much!

[@EverythingPlants]

I'm so glad you found it helpful!

[@TammyWorley-p8x]

I took your advice and pruned mine about a month ago. I am amazed how fast it started to put out new growth! Your video was very helpful👍 Thank you for the info!😊

[@EverythingPlants]

That is so awesome to hear and thanks for sharing!

[@raynelaroux1547]

I have a small jade plant that is only about 4-5 inches tall. My goal is to turn it into a bonsai, and your videos help prepare me for what things I need to consider and do while it grows. Thank you

[@EverythingPlants]

Best of luck!

[@dianemadsen8189]

I would like to know more about the "mother" jade plant, how old it is, how often you haven taken cuttings, what sort of care is provided, and what you plan to do with this plant in the future. Thanks!

[@not2nigh1]

magnificent mother plant Jade there in the background ❤

@@not2nigh1 thanks!

[@jillianleblanc9370]

Thank you for Sharing beautiful House Plants lovely and beautiful jade tree 😎😎🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@EverythingPlants]

Thank you too

[@lynnelaney4380]

Perfect timing!

[@EverythingPlants]

Happy pruining!

[@loriedmundson782]

Your video is a tutorial on how to prune a bonsai! ❤

[@EverythingPlants]

Haha. Pretty much.... just showing how to shape a jade plant

[@TuckFwitter]

Can jade be bonsai?

[@Vector_Ze]

I've got some older jade plants (6-7 years old) with nice woody stems. But, I've neglected them for several years and I know they would benefit from pruning, even though I'm late! It's mid June. Yeah, it's a little scary, although I've done it before with good results. The thing is, ending up with way more cuttings than I care to deal with. I wish I could find some way to give all of the cuttings a home.

[@rhodealexandre6583]

Hi Jeff, I have been following your tips about jade care and pruning. I feel so confident to care for my jades thanks to you. Really appreciate the video 😊 cheers

[@EverythingPlants]

Oh...I'm so good to hear. That's why I make these videos. Thanks for this comment!

[@erikl530]

Thanks, excellent video! Is this the way to prune other Jade variants too, like Jade Gollum for example?

[@Planty-Mandy]

You are the Jade master. 🙌 When you prune, do you find that any new leaves grow from bare nodes? Or once the leaves fall off, that node is done making leaves? I lost quite a few Jade leaves from thrips, mealies, and the treatment. Thankfully pest free now. 🤞

[@salem_meow7137]

I’ve found that you tend to get a few nodes producing leaves like this at once. The trunk of my jade has been looking pretty bare for the last two years but I’ve moved it into a sunnier spot and suddenly I’ve got growth from about 10 nodes where leaves have fallen off in the past

[@jessicaliltxn3295]

I just gave my jade a hard prune. I also waited to long to water since spring started and gave it edema. Can wait for my bald Jade to fill out. Thanks for the tips. Your channel is the only reason I figured out how to prune mine. Great Video!!!

[@keithroragen2218]

I pruned back my jade pretty heavily late last summer and the leaves that grew back have their edges curled under, almost like a Gollum. Not sure if it needs water or it will eventually grow out of it but the plant otherwise seems healthy.

[@supercool7498]

I love being able to watch your jade's growth, Thank you for sharing

[@159awi]

I also take off any leaves on the stem below or at a branch point.

[@BiteOffYourFingers]

You gave me the confidence to cut my big old tree, and boy did I have a mess to trim away.

[@EverythingPlants]

I'd love to see a before and after picture of you have them. Send it to my IG account if you do

[@Grasshopper1322]

Thank you for the good advice!

[@EverythingPlants]

My pleasure!

[@LetsDoBonsai]

Hi Jeff - Your inspiring me to get my Jades out again and get a video done - Keep up the good work im loving everyone of these videos!!

[@EverythingPlants]

How many jade bonsai do you have?

[@LetsDoBonsai]

@@EverythingPlants It was well over a hundred but ive recently given a lot away for a charitable cause. I now have about 10 left that im going to start growing again, i will do a video over the next couple of days.

[@EverythingPlants]

@@LetsDoBonsai ok.... Sounds like I need to check your channel lol. Do you apply similar pruning techniques to yours as explained in my video? I'm not teaching about bonsai techniques, but simply how I prune them.

[@LetsDoBonsai]

@@EverythingPlants feel free to take a look, i have doen a few videos on Jades but not really gone as in depth as you have here but i certainly will on my next one, I will reference your channel as a lot of my subscribers have a soft spot for Jades despite it being a Bonsai channel. They all know i have a real soft spot for Jades. I do utilise very similar techniques as described in your videos. Maybe we can do a crossover one day

[@EverythingPlants]

@@LetsDoBonsai that would be great! Jades are one plant that I constantly get questions about and of course I'm happy to help. These are special plants and I hope everyone gets one!

[@cherylboyd5548]

Hello what if the leaves are flat ? What can I do

[@psycheready6958]

This is so helpful, thank you! I need to prune mine but I wasn't sure how. Thanks!

[@EverythingPlants]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Do you cut each large branch as a separate entity? Or cut the plant as a hold.

[@carolstuff]

Awesome pruning tips Jeff!

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks! 👍

[@thereerhunter2314]

Hey great video. I was wondering how you deal with scale, I see a spot syarting to develop on mine. Thank you for sharing

[@EverythingPlants]

I've only had scale on one plant and it was very bad.... I threw it out. Haven't had any issues since

[@raccooninUK]

Thank you. :) that is very helpful.

[@EverythingPlants]

@@raccooninUK thanks for watching

[@lisaanglim9588]

I don’t have a jade but I’m thinking of getting one do watching this is very helpful. I just sort of whack things off. Then it looks awful.

[@EverythingPlants]

Haha. You should definitely give a jade plant a try

[@lironalterovich5556]

Can they tolerate direct sun?

[@planttherapy1860]

Great video as usual Jeff 👌🏽

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks 👍

[@CurleyJeffersonS]

Will it grow from any area that is brown already?

[@Adele-i7p]

Hi Jeff, don't think I can grow any type of Jade plant, because I only have a North facing window. Unless I use supplemental grow lights. What do you think?

[@EverythingPlants]

If you have a grow light, it would do awesome! I really like sansi lights for their affordability and quality!

[@Adele-i7p]

@@EverythingPlants gotta try one out. It would probably improve overall plant growth. I imagine . Thanks for the info. 🌿🌱🍄🍁🌼💐🌺

[@EverythingPlants]

@@Adele-i7p I'll be tossing my out for the summer as well!

[@Adele-i7p]

@@EverythingPlants Jeff, your going to grow it outside (Jade plant) for the summer. Awesome.

[@EverythingPlants]

@@Adele-i7p I haven't put them outside in a few years so this summer I will

[@Aar0nDown]

Any tips on how I can stop my main stem of my jade from bending,I turn it occasionally to try and prevent this problem but it keeps wanting to bend, its health otherwise , I had it staked for a month and it straightened up but it reverted to its original way after a month or so. It’s not curling up , more on a slant bent

[@EverythingPlants]

It's probably top heavy and you can prune or simply remove some leaves

[@Aar0nDown]

Ok, thanks for the info, if I prune will that help the main stem be able to hold more weight in the future? my main stem is pretty thick, but your jade main stem is significantly thicker them my jades.

[@totalvamp792]

Does anyone know why my Jade plant stem is still green and it's like 6 years old? Why doesn't it look like a tree?

[@EverythingPlants]

It's probably not receiving enough light and not maturing. Feel free to send a picture to my IG account if you want me to have a look

[@rdnkenki]

I'm considering trying Jade for my Leopard Gecko. She's small and would love a small bush
