My Jade is happy but leaning and growing to the side and down. I know jade’s like to be rootbound and I’ve lost jades but repotting, so I want to avoid that. Just want reassurance it’s OK!

    Your jade is leaning towards the light most likely.Try give it some more sunlight or invest in some grow lights. 🥰

      It’s in a south-facing window, so I know it has lots of light. I keep trying to rotate it

    I like to semi-bonsai jade plants. Try using twine to pull the stems/stalks up to each other in some way that is esthetically pleasing to you. I totally get that feeling of not being comfortable with the imbalance, even if its not harming your plant.

      i second this, twine, sturdy stakes, and a pair of strong snips have been invaluable in caring for my jade tree which is likely 30+ years old
