I use stones to prop up the plant. This one only need those 2 big stones, since it had a few roots started. On others, I have used several smaller stones and have even heaped top dressing stones around the trunk for support.

Edit - I guess it depends on just how big your jades are. Some people use cords, others have used rubber bands to hold the plant upright while rooting. I'm sure someone will chime in for you.

I used stones to prop a very lopsided E. lactea crest and that worked well for me in that case as well.

Yep, stones for me, too.

Yup, stones are my best friend too.

Picked up some "fuzzy sticks"...we called them pipe cleaners in the good olé days. Should be plenty soft.

I use scaffolding to keep big jade plants upright. I'll sink like 3 stakes around the perimeter of a round pot. Then I'll tie cord to a stake, loop it around the trunk, and then tie to the opposite stake. Do that a few times and the plant isn't going anywhere.
