    For a thicker trunk allowing lower branches is actually a technique used in bonsai as the trunk will swell near the branches. You could then prune those branches when you're happy with the thickness. Also if you wanted to take root pruning to the next level carefully raking out all the soil and pruning roots so that they all flow outwards (not down) will help the trunk thicken a lot as they will pull the trunk out in the direction they grow. Aiming for a radial root base is the ultimate goal for bonsai. Great video tho! Jade's are such a cool plant

    My grandmother, who lived in Pasadena California, had a 75 foot hedge of jade! She actually would just pick leaves from some neighbor's plants, and started all her plants that way. The hedge was about three and a half feet tall and just amazing! She must have been living in the perfect zone to have that kind of success growing such an amazing hedge as she did!

    Thank you for all the information. I have had my Jade plant for a couple of years. It was given to my daughter for a bridal shower and has done well. A couple of months ago I moved it from my kitchen window to the dining room window and Jade was not happy at all. She was there only 2 days after I saw the branches had dropped. I moved her back and she was very happy and standing tall. 😂. A bit of a drama queen 👑

    Just an observation...for succulents don't put a succulent cutting in moistened soil. Always put the succulent cutting in dry soil and don't water for 10 to 14 days. Also don't plant a freshly cut cutting until the cut has scared over...about 5 days. From someone who is passionate about succulents...

    The algorithm sent me this video, and I'm thinking who is this guy who doesn't edit out every unpolished moment, who is unabashedly enthusiastic, and even maybe a tiny bit awkward (or is he just truly unpretentious?)? Wow. There is more practical information and more learning moments in this video than in 99% of the more professional videos. Thank you for being SUCH a good teacher! I'm now going to watch every one of your lessons. Feel like I struck gold!

    My jade is over 30 years old and had dropped all its leaves and branches and has sprouted lots of little plants at the base. I thought for sure I'd lost it but it is a miracle plant. It's revived itself!

    I like to watch your video and your info is great but I truly think you can do much shorter videos with concise info and less talking. I had to watch yours with 1.5 speed to save time.

    Thank you! I have a jade tree that I've been growing for 30 years now. It spent most of it's life co-habiting with a cactus. Two years ago I realized that it deserved a pot of it's own and I re-potted it. It was 30 inches tall and 30 inches wide at that time. It has grown significantly since getting the pot it deserves, especially the trunk, which really is tree like now. I have it in a very bright room in the east facing window. It is covered in aerial roots and looks shriveled if I don't water it frequently. Your video just gave me the motivation to re-pot again and see how the roots look. If it is root bound I'm going to prune the roots and put it back in the same pot. By the next time, (in a few years) I pot it I would love to acquire a really special cay pot for it. BTW mine has never flowered but out Royal Botanical Gardens have full size (probably six feet) jade trees which flower annually.

    Wonderful video. I am from South Africa and have a flower farm and nursery in the southern eastern coast close to the Eastern Cape border, and we have jade plants growing naturally here. They are wonderful houseplants, and in temperate and dry climates, perfect garden plants. They flower beautifully too! If you ever come to South Africa and want a tour of the Garden Route and Western Cape, the area with the largest biodiversity in the world, just pop me a message! Live your Channel, it is well presented, very well researched and your style is easy and natural! Thank you for sharing your passion!

    I work in residential property management. I'm the guy that inspects the apartments after people move out. Anyway, one of my favorite residents passed away unexpectedly and because he passed in the unit, it was sealed by the coroner's office for a little over a month.

    This is without a doubt THE most concise and best video on the Jade plant I have ever seen. I have been growing Jades for a number of years and came away with some very good pointers. Thank you.

  • @vickilamers9154

    Devin, this is one of the best plant care videos I've watched. Very informative, easy to follow instructions, and your delivery kept it interesting. My jade plant and I thank you! I am definitely following you for more!

    I put mine outside in the Late Spring, Summer and early Fall as I am in a southern state. I usually water mine intervals in the winter. I go once a week and than every few weeks. I have found that keeping track of humidity of the room is a great way for me to water correctly. This jade I have I want to say is about 35 years old now and close to 4 feet.

    I have a jade plant that was gifted to me by my aunt, last thanksgiving, & she propagated it from one that was my great-aunts that is 35 years old!! That blew my mind! I didn’t know house plants lasted that long! Hers looks like a tree, it’s beautiful. My aunt is the one who got me into loving plants when I was a child, so any plant she gifts me is special, but this one is extra meaningful.

    This is amazing! We live in the area where they grow wild outside. Our garden is full of them. They grow incredibly easy. They get water when we water the plants or when it rains. Baby plants grow from the slightest leaf or stem that falls in the soil next to the mother plant. I believe it’s called ‘spek boom’ (bacon tree) in Afrikaans because of the fleshy thick stem and leaves. The leaves are much much smaller on the plants standing in the elements. Lovely to hear how you’ve adapted care and maintenance in your area❤️
