I like the look of the wind swept method…will you just cut, or wire train too?

#### Kaylee replied on 2026-03-29

probably add wire, i just want to cut it first to an idea then go in with wire

My nieces name is same as yours btw…i say either wind swept or cascading wire jobs…

This is Nova, my first Jade cutting seems happy after a month in her new home!

From my mom’s 50+ year old plant!!!

love it

If you’re happy with the trunk thickness then I’d decide on a style you like and cut it “to shape”. Cascade can be a really challenging style and not one you see with jade often.
