I need help with a jade that I have had for years. It suddenly started to fall over. The largest stalk won’t stay up. Otherwise the plant appears healthy. Any suggestions?

Maybe its roots are rotted. A heavy plant like that needs a strong and secure root system. You could temporarily give it a support!

Thank you!

Ditto about checking the roots. Also, looks like it could use a good pruning! A haircut would make it less top-heavy.

Mine did the same thing just because it was so top heavy I repotted and propped it up using 2 bamboo stakes and a rubber band at the top. After a few weeks it’s now standing tall in its own.

I did the same with my Little Jewels
