jade pruning and propagation IN WINTER...can you do that? 

No music, no asking for like subscribe and no bs. Thank you for making videos that are thoughtful as well as educational.

Knew I shouldnt have started watching these videos while working. Now I'm itching to drop everything and tend to my neglected succulents!

As someone with a visual impairment, I really like jade plants because a lot of the care for them can be easily done by touch, including everything you talked about in this video. Very well done!

I have a 30 years old jade that I bought at Home Depot and a 25 years old as well. They spend all of the summers outside, they love it 🥰

I've had my jade tree over 20 years, i watched lots of pruning videos but uts the first time I hear someone explain in which direction the new branches will grow when you prune it. You just saved a very wonky jade tree, thank you 😊

GREAT vid! I learned a lot about trimming and propagating my jades, instead of just guessing. Thanks so much for sharing.

Just rescued a jade plant so this tutorial is well received. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

Thank you! I’ve got a 35+yr old Jade and he’s gone ‘spindly’ I’m terrified to trim him up but gonna do it..!.. 😬😅

Your tip about cutting and what direction it will branch in was very useful!

Lots of how to deal with my jade! Thanks Jeff!

Love those Jade plants.

Good morning from Florida! Thanks for the jade tips,I love mine so easy to care for! Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!

Soooo helpful!! Love your channel! Newish plant mom and this advice is incredible!

Always nice to see you working on your Jade plant. I have a ' Janet Craig' Dracaena almost 10ft tall for over 25yrs and propagating few times to keep it shorter. Just like you said I started house plant because of that. Thank you again for sharing.

Thank you! I did this to my elephant bush. Much needed

your content is great! as a new grower you explained it well.

perfect timing, I have a jade that is out of control and yes, I am very nervous about pruning, so thanks for the tips!

I also tried propagating a jade leaf and finally after 2 years it start’s producing new growth

Hi Jeff. Like you I grow my 14" bowl of Jade under lights. I pruned mine lin the Fall and I've got some beautiful new growth....plus a whole new plant from the cuttings!

This is so helpful! remember I asked you about my mom's 20 year old jade plant, well I haven't propagated it yet and it is so huge with so many branches drooping and so many sites that would be perfect to cut, and now its winter time. lol It is in a big window that get sunlight. This makes me more confident that it will be okay! Thank you!

Thankyou. Fabulous as always.

I have a very unfortunate situation with my jade plant. The side stems are bare from the trunk up to about 6" to 8" and then growth begins. I have to see if I can find a video that addresses that issue. I'm terrified to prune it but I'm certain that that is what I'm going to have to do. I'm so thankful that you explained about how the branches will grow in particular directions depending on how they are pruned. That's invaluable to know! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. 😊 ❤

This is amazing. This is like tree art

Very informative video. Thank you!

Excellent videio! Very informative. Thank you!!

Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your day plant it's a beautiful plant have a blessed day Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Great video

Thank u!

Excellent video!! You pretty much answered all my questions. I have a giant Jade that needs pruning bad. I just don’t know what to do with all the cuttings.. tooo many! Breaks my heart to just throw them out. Wanted to ask any particular type of soil to pot up cuttings? Regular potting soil? To those nervous about pruning a Jade, they are so forgiving..it’s hard to kill these things!😂

I have said it before and I’ll say it again: you always have THE best videos on jade plant care! 🪴 Thank you!

Thisisgreat thank you

Amazing video! Thank you!Could you do a video on the steamer you have going in the back?

Mine looks strong & heathy, but has droopy leaves. The leaves are firm & new growth has nice parallel leaves. But the big ones droop.

Winter is actually the time of the year jades grow . At least thats what I always thought

I was about to put a comment asking if I can do it in dec if I have grow lights and 10 seconds later you show and talk about the same exact lights I have on my plants lol

Good morning from South Dakota! We’re just about to have another blizzard. My question is, TEMPERATURE. My humidity meters also show temp. Day temp in my living room (where many plants live) is 63, 67 degrees in my guest/plant room. I’m so curious as to the temps in your home. Like, is the floor in your basement cold? Maybe make a video about who requires a warmer base, etc. you’ve quickly become my FAV plantTuber! Merry Christmas, Jeff & family! (Including puppers, obviously)🎄

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?!?!

when propagating from a leaf, do you ever remove the original leaf from the soil? your videos are very helpful!!

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

Can i ask what is your grow plant you are using and what do u spary to make it healthy ,thank u , i love jade plants but i always kil them 🙃🙃, got only small plant collection

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

We need to kick it and trim our jades.

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?

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?

How do you know if it's getting too much of a grow light? Can it relieve too much light?

This is a different cultivar of the standard jade. Leaves are inverted and thick. Do you know what cultivar is it as I did not find any info on it anywhere

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

Do you have a minimum #of leaves you leave on? I just planted 3 trunks with no leaves because it I was a bad plant mom, and grew super weird.

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

Is cactus soil for the baby Jades okay?

Thanks for all of your excellent videos! I have 2 large jades, one is about 25 years old and the other a few years younger. They both are in desperate need of pruning (lots of droopy branches), but they need to be repotted as well. Is there a time frame I should wait between pruning and repotting so I don't shock the plants? Is it better to prune then repot or repot then prune? Thanks so much!

Aha! That is what I’m doing wrong with my succulents. I water them heavy to promote root growth…and they rot😔 I have killed so many succulents I’ve given up. With the few I have left I’m going to try and propagate at your suggestions…fingers crossed Thank you for this information 😊 I find my Cacti and Sansevieria/Draceana easier!

Thanks for the video! I just got some jade’s cutting, and there are some sprouting on the stem like yours.. Like in between the leaves.. Why is this happening and should I cut them and put in the soil? 🤔

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!

Thank you! I've wanted a tricolor jade for a long time and just ordered mine today! It should be here in 7 days and I'm really excited. 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.

This is so helpful! I’m terrible with plants and really want to learn. My husband brought home a dying jade plant from a friend and I’ve been able to get it to grow again after a year. Now it’s falling land in shapely. I thought I was supposed to give it support to grow up. Lol! Going to start chopping now!

What kind of pruning shears are you using? Great video!

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?

why are the leaves droopy?

Is the jade plant also a succulent, so it good for propagating leaf cuttings?🎄

When should you prune and propagate? Spring, summer or autumn?

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. Leaves and branches started to brown and wilt. My partner went crazy with the pruning cutting everything off. It has no leaves at all now. Will more leaves grow from where it has been cut? Is there anything I can do to the soil to help it? Thanks Jack

Is the jade you are showing in this video one single plant? Or is it several plant stems in the same pot?

My jade plant has tiny white spots on the tops of leaves. I’ve washed it off and it comes back. Any ideas?

Do you prune ripple jade plants the same way as you show in the video?

My jade plant isn't as old as yours but the leaves are droopy as well. I thought something was wrong. It's not is it?

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.

Not sure this comment will be seen, but I’m dying to know! Since you just pruned yesterday, I’m hoping the answer is-it’s ok to prune a little more today?

Your leaves "you calling me fat?" You "just thick"

Very informative but a little too slow and long for my short attention span. Can you show and explain the steamers?

The reason they droop is overwatering , root rot.
