Use to have one....raised it for years & years...one day...put it outside...someone stole it..felt like I lost a family member😢
That is horrible. Sorry to hear that. Are you in Canada?
Great Video! Thank you so much
Awe 🫢
Awww so sad
@@EverythingPlants i get it in Canadá they do that
I've waited far too long to prune my jade plant, but your video has given me the courage to try it. Thanks for a very informative video.
I have a few more on my channel. Good luck Gerry!!!

Same!
I've watch about a dozen Jade prune/propagation videos, this was by far the most helpful! I loved that you explained where the new branches would form! This will be my first time pruning my Jade. Thanks for doing this video!
Thanks south for watching and good luck with your pruning. Keep me posted with how it responds.
I got an extremely overgrown Jade from a Walmart discount shelf last year and I finally had the nerve to prune it thanks to this video!! Thank you! Now I have 7 jades 🤣
Wow! That is amazing and thanks so much for sharing. Has it started to branch out yet?
@@EverythingPlants yes!!! Most of them have got the cutest little baby leaves 🥰
I've started my jade plant from cuttings probably 20 years ago, but I never knew that I could control the number and direction of the branches! My plant looks like a tangled briar patch, but now I can make it look more like trees! The branches are quite thick so it has potential. How exciting! Thank you!
I really wish we could share pictures on RUclips as I'd love to see your Jade. If you have Instagram, feel free to send a picture @everything_plants_ca
I could watch this guy prune jade plants all day. The snip sounds are pleasant and his explanations are calming, which is nice for how panicky I feel about pruning my 7 year old jade plant.
Thanks Emily!!! I'm sure you did a great job pruning. I was terrified the first time I pruned my old large jade.
I have been growing jades for most of my life and never knew I could prune or direct how it grew until now. I had been staking my weak and leggy plants as they grew longer and longer. After watching a few of your jade how-to's, I can now say that I have successfully removed the staking and ties, pruned up, repotted in cactus/succulent medium and excited to see how I will train my jades from now on. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! 🙂
Hello Lilly! Beautiful name BTW, but this comment makes me so happy. I look forward to hearing future updates about your day plant as well. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel
Didn’t know that there is potting soil specifically for succulents!
Thank u!!!
Thank you, you have helped me so much! I was totally afraid to prune my jades. They were leggy and falling over and growing in crazy directions- but I was afraid to kill them. Your video helped me prune and shape with confidence and trust that they would grow back healthier and prettier. It was so cathartic, and they look so much better! A year later, it's Spring again...and I am watching your video all over again to refresh. Very clear instructions and I am so grateful.
Hello Elizabeth! That is so awesome and I wish that RUclips would allow sharing of pictures because I would love to see a before and after picture. If you have Instagram feel free to sent it to me! @everything_plants_ca
Exactly what I've been looking for! Literally just saved a Jade from the most terrible environment - And now, seeking info on "How to Jade"... Thank you! Great video!
Glad I could help and I have a few more videos on jades and care if you want to check them out as well.
Thanks for all your clear instructions, a friend gave me a rather large Jade plant last night, and when I got home a whole branch had fallen off, I panicked but now know what to do to propagate new plants. Your site is very clean as what to do.
Thanks Kathy! I'm glad my video helped you out with your Jade plant.
Now you have 2
Very helpful. Especially the part where you showed that you pruned one stem so the new shoots will grow out left/right, and the next stem so the new shoots will grow out front/back. Makes perfect sense but I never thought about it. I successfully got my jade to do some branching out last year, and I think I'm not going to trim it anymore until it gets much bigger. I have 4 stalks in one pot that are only about 7" tall or so. Time to let it fill in this summer!
Thanks for watching again Heather and yes, let it grow!!!
Excellent instructional video ...free of the usual faffing around, arm waving and lengthy personal stories you often get with instructional videos. You just got down to it, showed how it's done AND the results of the propagation. Very useful. I've just subscribed.
Awesome and welcome. I try and stick to what people come to my channel for....plants haha
Three years ago I bought a small pot with three plants with lovely trunks in it. I've nurtured it, and it is doing well, and I now want to split each tree into its own pot and shape them. The problem I have is when I prune, half the time no new leaves grow. I have stumpy areas where nothing has grown in. It's maddening and I wish I knew why this happens all the time.
Also, how long before the trunks thicken up from cuttings? I've some from a friend's plant from 4 years ago, that grow up, but get no thicker. This one has been a challenge.
I remember my grandmother's Jade that she was given in the late 1800s (yes, you read that number correctly) as a birthday present from a family member. It was in a very small planter, kept on a window sill, and it was the 'mother' of so many plants. A cousin took it in 1982 when my grandmother passed away at the age of 98, and it was still going strong even after it was 100 years old.
Now that I actually have a situation with plenty of sun, I am determined to grow some lovely jades in memory of Nana.
Thank you! I was so afraid to prune that could inadvertently upset my jade plants but now I’m less afraid 😊
So sorry for the late response.....did you prune it and how did it go?
I was so upset that someone ruined my jade, now I think that I can begin anew after watching your video. Thank you so much for sharing this.
What happened? Did someone over water it?
How long usually takes to grow new growth on jades
@@johnboygunsling666 depends on the type of light it gets. If it is in a brighter spot then it will grow faster compared to a plan in less light. Here is a video after 2 weeks of pruning
ruclips.net/video/jyW0a-NXED0/видео.html
@@EverythingPlants thanks I have a grow light because I dont have a good 4 hrs light spot and it being too close to the window made it reddish so I put it in a room with at least 4 to 8 hrs of lamp light (grow light)
I definitely learned something from this video. I found myself saying, “Yeah, right there! Perfect!” I can’t wait to see how it takes off in an update video.
Haha that's awesome Kristen. I have many more jade videos after this one with kind of an update I guess. Do you have a Jade plant?
Thank you thank you sooo much this is the first video which actually taught me pruning and I am feeling confident to touch my crassula ovata now... thanks a ton.
Thanks for the video! My jade flopped over years ago so no tree look for me but I’m excited to see how the new growth comes in after I prune!
Mine was completely flopped over at one point as well. I pruned and it perked back up.
Yes!! Love your jade plant videos! My absolute favourite videos 😊
Thanks Holly!
Wow! You explain everything SO well! Thank you so much for your video!
I have a few jade plants I haven’t touched that are in serious need of some help. And you explained about the ways the new branches would grow. I had no idea. Thank you! Look forward to watching more of your videos!
Thanks so much for watching and I am so glad you enjoy the video. Every time I do a prune or propagation, I always try and watch closely how the plant responds so I can learn from it and pass along the info to all my amazing viewers LIKE YOU!!!
I’m going to prune mine tomorrow. Thanks again Jeff for your excellent advice!
Are you doing a small or hard prune?
Everything I needed to know as far as pruning (how and why) and then how to prop the cuttings. Perfect! Thank you :)
Glad it was helpful! I hope you stick around for more video Douglas!
Holy moly drastic pruing! Great video. Thank you.
This is two years old already.....here is a recent video of them. Thanks for watching
ruclips.net/video/aYRlIE7b_tE/видео.html
Thanks! My Jade is spaced out like he is from outer space! I didn’t even know they can be a little tree type guy with a woody looking stem! And I’m excited to try planting the cuttings and starting from the leaves! Both of yours are so cool! I would have just chucked the trim in my yard! Thanks again!
Good luck. The leaf props take a long time FYI hahaha
I just purchased my first Jade plant. I'm looking forward to the beautiful possibilities. Thank Ü. 💚💚💚
Ok, now I understand the direction that new branches will grow after pruning. Thank you.
You are welcome!
I prune one of my Jade Plant about 3 weeks ago (I've got 2 which I grew out of 4 leaves from a nearly dead old big Jadeplant). They where about 15-20 centimeters high now and I was afraid to prune them. After different youtube videos I pruned one of them and it already start to get new branches. So I'm now confided enough to prune the second one. Thanks to your video I now knew in which directions the new branches will grow - this will help me to "plan" my Jade Tree. Thank you!
Awesome!!!! Thanks so much for sharing and happy pruning plant friend!
I'm pruning and propagateing my Jade plant now.😊
Hey! That's awesome. Let me know how it goes!
Really, really helpful. So clear and thorough. And reassuring! Thank you.
Thanks Heidi! Are you chopping up a jade?
I have a 15+ year old Jade which looks like an awesome messy draped bush... this is the first video which made me feel like I can prune it the right way. Thanks.
Hey Matt! I am thrilled this video has helped you....my old Jade plant looked like a bad wig with it flopped over the sides. After I just hacked it up, it responded so well and continues to grow upright today. I think I have a comparison picture on my IG page.
Such a helpful video!! Can’t wait to see how my jade plant spreads out!
Good luck Nancy!
This was exactly the information I needed for my leggy jade plant. It's very old but about to tip over from long stems and being imbalanced. Now I have the know-how to prune it. Thank you!
Check out my newest Jade video if you are interested!
My 6 year old son and I watched this to know how to care for my leaning Jade tree. We are so excited to learn how to properly care for it and he is giddy with excitement since I gave him his own to prune and care for! 🎉
Check out my newest Jade video as well....it's about pruning a Jade into a tree
Thank you so much for this video. It was so clear with all your demonstrations!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching Jennifer!
Ok. I took your advice and pruned my jade. I’ve always been afraid to cut on it and it’s really been looking leggy. I now have a bunch of cuttings and leaves to propagate. Thanks for the courage. Stay safe. Great video by the way
This is awesome. Let me know how it does when it starts to grow!
Dude how is it looking?
Wow! You've given me the confidence to try propagating a stem or 2. Thanks for your video.
You can do it! Keep me posted with how it goes for you.
This is very helpful. I have some plants I started from cuttings from my moms giant jade plant that she had for years. Now I know how to get it to look like someone loves it. Thanks.
Yes!!! Good luck and keep me posted with how it goes for you.
This was exactly what I needed to know for my jade that’s growing wild in every direction. Thanks so much! And thanks to my hubby @CodyJordison for recommending I check out your videos!
Oh my goodness....I know you guys hahahaha. Thanks for watching and tell Cody to send me a picture of your Jade plant....I'd love to see it!
@@EverythingPlants thats awesome lol
Hello! Just watched your video, bought pruning scissors and went at it. Scared to see my plant that was growing so tall, hacked down to a minimum but a lot of weight has been taken off the overloaded trunk. I think it will be much happier now! Thank you.
Oh...this is awesome. It will respond so well. Give me some updates once it starts to grow.
Thank you. Now I am ready to give it a try. The leaf direction was so helpful..
Good luck Marla
Thanks for this excellent tutorial. My jade plant, who has survived despite (I see now) my well-meaning abuse, asks me to convey its eternal gratitude. *LOVE* your exit music, by the way.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you stick around for more! And I love the music at the end as well....well obviously haha It has a calm quirkiness to it that I enjoy.
Learned a lot from this! Going to prune mine now as it has got tall and leggy. Thanks 🙂
Good luck!
Omg thank you for this video 🥺🥺🥺 I've had my jade plant since I was in elementary school, and I just want to take the best care of her as possible
That is awesome! Here is the update video for this plant.
ruclips.net/video/jyW0a-NXED0/видео.html
@@EverythingPlants Can you tell me why my jade is budding and preparing to flower in October ?
I was glad to hear you sand spring and SUMMER. My jades are overdue, haven't been pruned in several years, and it's mid June.
In past prunnings, I ended up with way more cuttings than I could handle. I gave some away to family members who now have more than they want. I hate to dispose of them. Maybe offer them on craigslist?
Propagating is easy peazy. Maybe too easy. I could open a jade plant business if there were people willing to adopt them.
Awesome Video, I have a very old and big Jade that has branched over and the branches are being supported with some sticks. I thought I would have to throw the plant out, but your video has been a great help! I'm going to lovingly prune the Jade and make a hopefully make a bunch of new plants from this one! Yay!!!
Sorry for the late response....Did you prune it and if you did, how did it go?
Premature comment here,
Going to go do the old snippity snip on about 5 jades tomorrow, this vid has filled me with a bit more confidence about it. Thanks mate. Have a good one
Good luck Jim!
Thank you so much for this information I have a Dwarf jade plant and I was so scared of pruning my baby plant. You showed me on your larger jade plant how to prune. This is just what I needed to see , as I have watched many videos on pruning the Dwarf jades, but i could not see enough detail exactly, to be confident to go-ahead and prune my baby . Again thank you for this easy to understand video.
Hey Tony! I am glad it was helpful to you and hope it goes well for you.
Excellent video!!!! I really needed this info because, like so many, I have not pruned my jade for fear of ??? You name it, I was probably afraid of it! Thank you so much!
It is definitely scary, but you can do it Sharon!!! Let me know how it goes for you whenever you do decide to give it a go
Thank you! I got my plant from amazon a month ago and it's still little. I just can't wait till it grows big. I absolutely love jades
It takes time and lots of light, but good luck!!!
I have a 12+ yr old Jade plant which has really received minimal attention. I transplanted it recently, and it has been sending out new growth so I think its happy! I barely water, and it sits in a super sunny window. I appreciate your video and will likely try propegating more than I have! ❤
Thanks for this comment. I really do appreciate these types of comments. Good luck with your future propagations with your Jade.
Loved this video, I have a plant for 30yrs and just pruned 10 cuttings off it and re planted in pots mine has never flowered inspite of following every bit of advice but I still care for it, it's my favourite plant in the house
Thanks for sharing and I'd love to see how large your 30 year old plant is!!! Mine has never flowered indoors as well.
Thank you so much. I have never had a jade plant. " Jade " drooped over badly. She had water but had gotten very bushy. I wasn't confident about pruning her until I watched your video. I also appreciate the way your video was produced. Peace.
Thanks so much for the very kind comment. I hope your plant responded well to the pruning. I also have a couple more recent Jade videos that might b of interest to you. Thanks and hope to see you back soon.
I don't know why pruning my jade is so hard! Ive been up to it with shears 4 times now, maybe more! I go to do it, chicken out, walk away.. repeat..
In the end I cut one peice off yesterday and I might as well have been cutting off my own finger with the amount of contemplation I gave it!
It needs more pruning but I needed a sit down after lol
I love jade plants, so forgiving, easy to care for, easy to propagate, nice green shiney leaves. just pretty plants! 💚
Thanks for the video and the added courage 😂
It's terrifying to prune them the first time and even a few times after that haha. I think you honestly did the right thing and just start small (assuming you've never pruned it before) so you can see how it responds. Just me, it never gets easy with a hard prune and afterwards I'm like "what have I done" and then three week later you see beautiful new growth and can breathe again 🤣
Hey! Best video on Jade plant by far, keep up the good work.
Thanks so much!
I was gifted a near dead jade plant last year and I kept it growing and thriving all winter and now it’s time to start pruning and I’m so excited!! Thank you for this very helpful info! I’m a first time plant mom so I have no clue what I’m doing lol
You can do it!!!!
I gave it a try and after 45 days, there are 12 young shoots visible out of 15! I am so happy 😅. A huge thank you to you because it was thanks to your video and your kind encouragement that I dared to take the plunge. I am very grateful to you 🙏😁.
That is so awesome!!! Thanks for letting me know that it worked out for you.
Wow, thanks! I have 3 small jade plants (size of your 14month leaf growers) now I know I can repot bigger and HOW to prune successful to ensure a bushy jade plant!
You are welcome and thanks for watching! Check back for more videos plant friend.
Absolutely well-done and explained perfectly. Will be watching more of your videos. Jades are one of my all-time favorites but I, as you mentioned in your video of your first experience with pruning, am terrified of destroying my Jade. I think I have my courage up now, thanks to you and your great video. Thank you so much!
Thanks and YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
Great video. I've had jades over the years and currently have 2 huge jades. I've always trimmed and pruned but with not real sense of what I'm doing. The plants didn't suffer but now it makes sense on how to do it and what happens. Thanks so much!
Glad this video was helpful!
Thank you for the well explained process, I am afraid to prune my plants. Hope I get over it like you did! 😊
what a beautiful Jade you have!
Thanks Michael!!
Your jade is beautiful..I hope mine look like that someday..thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for watching. It takes a bit of time but it definitely will!
Thanks so much for this! I'm gonna get ta prunin' right now!
Let me know how it goes!!!
Thank you so much !!! I was wondering why trying to germinate them in water was unsuccessful. Yours was actually the first video I watchband it gave me all the information I need !
Thanks so much and I have many other Jade videos as well as RUclips short videos. I have a recent short video where I left some leaves and stem cuttings out of soil for a month and it started to grow roots and even some new growth
Jade a beauty to care now that your video has shown me. Thanks!
You are welcome. Have you seen the update to this video?
ruclips.net/video/jyW0a-NXED0/видео.html
So very helpful!! Thanks for all your knowledge!
Thanks for watching! I am always learning too!
Great video. Thanks for the quality content.
Thanks for tuning in!
Thank you very much for this video! I have a huge Jade that is so top heavy it keeps falling over. I am going to start pruning today!!🥰
Awesome! Let me know how it turns out.
Thank you. I did it, and it worked just like you said!
Great job!
Thank you so much for your explanations. I'm going to "bravely" prune my Jade plant tomorrow. It's from one of my best friend who has left our town already so because of its sentimental value I have to so this right! Lol
Good luck with the prune...you can do it!
Well that is going to be quite the tree in the future! I've only ever seen photos of jade plants with those trunks, like Bonsai. Great video, I will definitely try this in the future!
Thanks Linda. I have a couple more Jades like this and will be doing some more pruning videos soon....if people want to see them that is?!?!
You should see the trunk of the next one I plan on pruning.
Pruned my jade plant following your instructions and it was a little terrifying but seeing your result gives me hope that my stems will become stronger!
Yes, it is terrifying..... I 100% agree. I took me a few times of small prunes to get comfortable with how the plant responds. Keep me posted with how your plant does.
So helpful. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching and hope you stick around for more videos!
Wonderfully informative especially for a newbie like me. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching! Please stick around the channel for more houseplant videos.
Wonderful looking plant. Good useful information and encouraging tips.
Thanks so much!
I can't wait to prune my jade. Great video
Hello Nicole. How old is your Jade?
Very well done. Good instructions and pruning looks very good.
Many thanks!
What a beautiful Jade plant, the older one you were working with.
Thanks Rhonda. Do you have any Jade plants?
@@EverythingPlants oh no. I've managed to kill a small, like 4in pot size that I had bought about a yr ago. I'm now stil trying to get one leaf to grow roots. I love, love, love the Jade plants. Yrs ago, my grandmother passed hers to me. It was a beautiful old one as I had referred to I'm my comment to you and about your old/beautiful one. But, I killed it as well, by allowing it to become to cold while moving one winter. So I'm about to give up. And thank you for your reply.
Nice video with enough information to get me started on a Jade plant. Melvyn, (from India)
Awesome. I am glad this video helped you out Melvyn!
Lots of clear, well presented information.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the info. Was needed. I’ve been very lucky with a jade plant given to me about 4 yrs ago. I even repotted last year and it broke in two. And both are surviving like crazy. I’ve never pruned. Makes sense too. So wish me luck🤞🏻🤞🏻both plants are massive. So hopefully this gets some of the weight off lol.
Good luck. I would always recommend pruning with what you are comfortable with. Start small and work your way up.
I just purchased my very first mature Jade plant. I never had luck with babies… I’m sure I over watered. Nothing has ever been done to this plant that I purchased. I am so afraid to prune it. But watching your videos gives me confidence. I would love to send you pictures for your advice and guidance.
Hello Nadine! Yes, please send a picture to my IG @everything_plants_ca
Thank You!!
Another great video!! Thank you.
Thanks Kathy!!!
Your vase for the Jade plant is gorgeous! I need to trim my Jade. Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much! I am assuming you are talking about the colored one. I got it and a few others from Winners.
@@EverythingPlants Yes 💞 Oops they’re all Jade plants. I have to look up Winners, I’m guessing it’s a store local to you.
Thank you so much! I’m scared to prune but you’ve helped a lot!
Glad I could help!
That is amazing! Nice plant!
Thanks Mia! Hope you stick around for more videos!
Excellent video and advice. I've got two bonsai Jade trees (according to me, they're doing quite well) and stacks of smaller cuttings from the last 3 years. The bigger bonsai definitely needs a prune. The branches are a bit long. I hacked away at it three years ago and made a total mess lol. But its come back. Thanks for the tips.
I pretty much made a mess the first few times pruning as well.
Great video ! Thanks for all this info :D
You are welcome and thanks for watching!
absolutely love this info video
Thanks so much! I hope you stick around the channel for more videos!
Wow that is cool info my friend.
Thank you.. I have jade also. i love them
I'm glad you liked the video! Thanks plant friend.
Well done! Great information.
Thank you!
Hi, 👋 everything plants ca, I didn't know they liked pruning. I thought they were more delicate. Haha. I learn as I go along. Happy Friday and have a good weekend.
Yes. My jade plants have done so well with pruning. It is a nice way to get more branches and of course more plants!
@@EverythingPlants great video. Keep up with the good content. 🐸🌬️😊
I've tried for some years to prune my jades back, but lacked some good explanations, and got them here. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! How is your plant doing now?
@@EverythingPlants The plant is fine, but needs to be pruned again, which I will do very soon. I needed those exact explanations on where to cut and how new leaves will grow out, as to get a nice shape. I already look forward to pruning it!
Thanks for the excellent video! I've been too scared to cut mine, but I will have another look at it in Spring (in New Zealand we're heading into winter)
Don't be scared. It will be fine!
Very informative. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
This is my GO TO jade pruning/prop video. I saved it, because I get so nervous every time it's time to manicure the ones I have. It's not often, 😂 so I forget details or seemingly lose confidence in the process. But this is just such a helpful reminder/refresher that 'I GOT THIS' 😂. Everything went so well last year I am trimming back a couple from that year's prop too! I kinda put it off a little this year and my oldest, and first leaf sewn jade from a couple years ago got real top heavy. I hacked away resulting in several new lil jade stems... Tad bummed out, almost took it down to a pile of leaves because I had forgotten that stocks will root too... Though small there are many. 😂
I only hope one year I can get through a chill haircut, and not be all Edward Scissorhands, and rooting from scratch.
If it takes 10-30 years to have a dense lil tree, I gotta get this trunk going....
This video gave me the courage to trim down my jade. It's gotten so tall and starting to lean. Mid-Sept might not be the best time, but it's leaning too much. Thank you!
Good luck and you got this!!!!
