Jade question! My jade was happy and standing tall until a week or so ago when I noticed it started to dip down and then curl back up? It hasn’t been moved from its general spot here near an east facing window in a long time so just want to check to see if this is something I should be concerned about. 😬

    I find mine grows to the light if it’s not 360 sunlight so try spinning it around every now and then

      Every two to three weeks in the summer but I don’t really water at all during the winter as it’s cold here in the uk

      My gramp even used to keep it in the shed most winters in the garden and then get it out in the house for summer

      Thank you! I’m just not good with the jades!! Trying to figure it out because I do love them! I’ve killed several but currently have several alive! Trying to keep it that way😊

    It looks like it’s getting etiolated because it’s stretching for the light, causing it to flop over. Can you give it more light? If you’re in the US, putting it outside or in a south- or west- facing window will be better

    I would prune the stretching pieces, put in some soil and start some new. The places you trimmed off will sprout new growth and it will get bushier with a trim.

      I agree. Mine was similar. You want the branches to be standing tall and strong. I pruned and the trunk got thicker and I got growth further down. You can then propagate the cuttings
