pinching a large Jade

11 years ago

So the mature Jade I was able to get a few weeks ago is doing well so far.

It keeps producing new baby leaves that I have been pinching out in hopes of getting it to produce new leaves lower on the trunk and to encourage branching.

I'm waiting on the warm weather to re-pot but was wondering if it's possible to air layer Jade. I found one reference to air layering Jade, but it's not specific.

Has anyone tried this?....Since the basics sound pretty straight forward, I figured I might use the tourniquet method as laid out & illustrated by Al.

Has anyone tried air layering a large Jade?

It's very tall & I'd like to reduce it by about 1/3. Unfortunately, that would be the entire canopy of each of the 2 main trunks.
