I love my jade plant, but I've noticed in the last couple of months (after a strong rain storm) some of the stems/stalks are falling over the edge of the pot. I'm worried that I don't have it set up correctly and want to make sure it's going to continue to grow well. I previously had this pot outside on my front porch and it was really thriving, and now I've moved it back into my front room for the winter (this is its normal spot). While it was outside, a couple of months ago, we had a strong rain storm and after that a couple of the front stems weren't standing up straight anymore but hanging out over the pot edge. I kept an eye on it and continued with Planta's recommendations, and it kept growing just fine. By now I've rotated it around and those stems aren't hanging over the edge, but the stem closest to the light is drooping. Do I just need to get a grow light to get it to continue to grow straight up? Or is this guy just wanting to spread out and I need to change the type of pot I have it in?

    My jade has always hung over the edge instead of straight up too? I would be curious to know if this is normal or I’m doing something wrong?

      Exactly what I want to know! Yours is arching over in an interesting way though!

    Hi - I’ve kept multiple Jade plants and all of them have eventually ran into this issue. They grow too quickly for their stems to support their weight. I’d recommend adding bamboo sticks and tying the jade to them for support. Your plant will appreciate the additional support structure.
