# Hey Jade plant expert, I need help! I’m new to this app. I just…

Hey Jade plant expert, I need help! I’m new to this app. I just picked up a huge Jade plant that someone gave it away last weekend. I have other smaller Jade plants but never had this huge one like this. It apparently was neglected as the pictures show that it’s leaning heavily on one side. I hope to pull thick stems with the rope to the center each week. I’m not sure how much water should I feed or am I able to repot to straightened it up. I am not be able to lift the pot because it’s so heavy. Any advice welcome!!!

You can try to use chop sticks as braces and tie the plants to it. Add dirt once tied to help stabilize mr jade.  
Or you can let it grow and see what it does could be interesting

The stems is 4 inches wide. You may see a bigger wood rod with the string attached to ‘tree’. I hope it helps some. I would like to take it out and re-establish it somehow.
