What would you do with this jade?

9 years ago

Hi everyone. I have the opportunity to own the jade plant in this picture. It is enormous. 6 feet wide. In order to give this gorgeous plant the light that it needs I would have to divide it at least into 2

plants. I would love to know your opinion and if you think this can be successfully divided roots and all?

I can't see what the base of the plant looks like but it is possible to simply cut them off at the base and reroot them. It will take a little while but the plant will be fine

Thank you! I'm not sure yet what I will do. Either I will attempt to cut through the root ball or I will just do a really hard pruning to reduce the width. I am sure there are risks either way I just want to go with the lesser risky option.

May I suggest you stop & READ for a while & do nothing for a bit. There's a wealth of information here about pruning & re-growing Jades.

Try search here about 'hacking' one's Jades, there's lots here, I promise. I'm sure it'll help you figure out what to do, at least where to start. Good luck, it's a nice one.
