I do the same thing. I have a few different varieties of dracaena, ZZ plants, snake plants, and a few others as well. When I can’t tell by feeling the plant itself, I go by the weight of the pot or the moisture level of the soil or both. to me, sometimes it’s actually more helpful than using the limited amount of vision that I have, because it allows me to check multiple things in another way, giving me a more accurate picture of what’s going on with the plants by touch.

Love the video, my jade plant is huge and I didn't know I should be pruning it!! To be honest I kind of like the long drooping branches. Is that bad or should I prune it? Also, is that burros tail in the bottom of your pot? I own one of those too and wasn't sure if there was a reason too that or if I was just seeing things?!?!

My granny grew her jades in a cascade down from the pot. I assumed it was ment to grow that way.

I just inherited an huge 15+ yr old Jade and have been watching your videos to learn how to care for it. Ive learned how to prune and how to repot, but my question is - if it needs to be repotted should i wait to do the pruning? It has very thick woody stems going off in every direction. To tame it I'd have to cut a couple of very thick branches. And i have to repot it immediately because its in a large planter with other succulents and i cant keep that planter. So im just wondering if a major pruning at the same time as repotting would be too much of a shock?

Is it best to use soil specially for succulents to propagate? Or will regular potting mix work?

I always feel like I’m going to brake it when I handle it. So wobbly but I just love them so much. Have you ever had a big break?

Hi I have replanted it, but the leaves are falling. Do I wait ten days or water it?

I have a very old jade tree and noticed some mealy bugs on new growth after a slight pruning done this summer. Its very droopy and extremely top heavy and I'm thinking of giving it a hard prune. Now, it's October here in Canada and probably not the ideal time to do this and I'm very scared to start this.... Should I just spray it for the mealybugs and prune hard in Spring or do both now and cross my fingers that I will not lose it. Please give me your thoughts. Thanks

I'm learning all I can BUT I'm not finding much about pruning from beginning to a large plant. I understand my jade needs to establish itself and find its own branching BUT when should I start pruning? Obviously that's a ways off for me, I'm only getting a 4 inch rooted plant but I'd love some "start to "finish" info. Also, what do you know about the different care for regular jade as apposed to verigated? I'd imagine it would need more sun without getting too much direct hot sun? I live in Texas so there is a BIG difference between direct sun and DIRECT sun. Lol. I don't know, but any info would be appreciated.

@EverythingPlants

I would definitely let it grow for a couple seasons before you start thinking about pruning. Sometimes they will branch out in a beautiful structure naturally. I had a variegated jade a number of years ago but due to the amount of Jade's that I owned I had to get rid of a few. The variegated jade needs more light than your regular green variety because it has less chlorophyll ( green on the leaves) to photosynthesize. Now I can't speak for Texas sunlight... But if you're keeping it outside, definitely put it in full shade and slowly transition it to higher light. Same thing can be done for indoors but not necessarily needing full shade at the start. Give it a bright spot and slowly move it to direct sunlight

My Golum Jade is chugging along, but doesn’t seem to grow “fast”… are you familiar with the different types of Jade? Curious if their speed of growth is different. Stay warm!

@EverythingPlants

The Gollum and regular Jade have similar growth rates I find, but they seem to grow 'slow' in the first couple years. After establishing a strong root system and annual pruning, the plant grows nicely and the trunk thickens. I did have a variegated one for a year, I think, and that one requires a ton of light. I didn't have that one long enough to know whether or not it has the same growth rate.

How do you know which direction branches will grow in.. from which angles to cut?

I've got two jade plants. One is still in it's plastic pot and it dries out very quickly. I need to plant it in another pot. I have many Terra pots. I've heard that it's best to report in the spring, but I've got to water it from the bottom because the water just flows through. Should I repot now or wait until spring? My other jade plant is potted in a Tera cota pot. I don't water them until the soil is completely dry. I've had it for several years and it still doesn't have any brown stems. It dropped leaves and they have started to propagate. Does pruning help the jade plant to develop brown stems?

@EverythingPlants

Жыл бұрын

Here is a video on when to water your jades if you haven't seen it yet. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hYuF2sSBddfXlKg.html Generally repotting should be done when the plant is growing, typically spring and summer, but I do repotting year round. If you can move the plant to brighter light in the winter or even add a grow light and will definitely help. The brown or woody stems come with age. Obviously brighter light will help the plant grow faster over time. Pruning doesn't help with woody stems specifically, but pruning does help with branching and trunk/stem thickness

Hi Jeff, I hope you can help. Our 20 year old jade plant has been doing well and we kept it outside for the summer, didn’t get it in fast enough and it started to look like it was dying.

Hi Jeff, I had contacted you about 1 of my 2 larger jades, this is about the other one. It's about 17 years old and got really leggy and actually lost a LOT of leaves due to some root rot. When I got my plants back after my move, I wound up cutting some larger stems coming off the main trunk. I am (and the nursery person I showed pics to) think I caught it in time and the plant will be okay, time will tell. Anyhow, due to the overwatering the jade is tall and very leggy. Wish I would have waited a day as I pruned it back yesterday. I pruned back a lot of new growth, as you said the softer portions as well as some that were turning woody. I am hoping I will get leaf growth towards the center of the plant or that the stems will fill out more like it was prior to the overwatering issues. Should the plant start putting leaves out on the leggy portions of the stems or will the growth just be on the ends? I do have a lot of new growth started on some of leggy branches but still has a lot of bareness I recently added plant lights. I will be repotting with new soil back into the same pot in the spring as it's been probably 3-5 years since it's been done. Thanks.

@@montanaholley4776 I should have said that I believe I caught in time. The stems that were bad were cut off at the main trunk. There was minimal spotting in the wound track of the main trunk. Clean wound sites with hydrogen peroxide. The upper cut stems showed no discoloration in the wound track. Showed a pic to local nursery personnel and she believes I may have caught in time. Plant is thriving with the grow light and has sporadic new growth however still bare towards the center of the whole plant. Best way to describe is a tree leafing out in spring after a few weeks. Wasn't sure if pruning would promote new growth along the stems closer to the trunk or if I would have to do more of a drastic pruning.
