It is drooping for few reasons: not enough space so it s getting or being pushed out of the way; it is etiolated and possibly quite weak to stay upright. It could have been also over- or under-watered in store. Give it best light - I would put it right on sunny windowsill, so it has chance to get stronger. You may want to consider dividing plants too, or at least pot them further apart from each other. I would prefer better draining mix too.

Strong stems will be able to support themselves; here is one of the pots with too many, they are etiolated, but still very sturdy trunks. It spent winter in kitchen window without any supplemental lights:

You can see how some stems are leaning 'out of the way' of another stem but upright, even when slanted. Getting separated soon.

You don't have control what conditions they were grown while in store, but you could supply much better ones now. You could prune it if you want, but unless they get better light and good drainage, they will continue growing weak and etiolated.

ETA: agree with Dave below - probaly overfertilized too...I do not fertilize jades, they grow well without. I see all of the trunks bright green - there should be some sign of bark on those stems already.

etiolated from too much water and fertilizer and not enough sun.

i would lull it apart into three plants, repot and give much more light.

Sounds good guys. Will take your advice and septate into 3 plants. At least two. App do I just cut and let it dry and then plant or just plant right after cutting it?

It seemed overwatered when I picked it up from the store with even a layer of greenish mold like stuff on the top soil. It has been humid and rainy in NYC so it has a hard time seeing it still. It probably won't revive itself unless I replant that branch entirely then

Unfortunately it was one plant and not septate plants. And I'm glad I listened to your advice to take the plant out because even after having it home for 4-5 days already the root ball and the dirt surrounding it was very wet and most still. I added a whole bunch of perlite and replanted it and cut off the drooping stem.

Where did you cut the branch? Did you pot it to start new plant?

Eventually, other branch could be cut off too, or you could leave it. I prefer if they have some trunk above the soil line (but have few that branch out close to it too) - like plants in Crenda's photo; but you could grow it as is if you like it that way. Crendas plants are very compact - I don't think I have any so nice. You can see what lots of sunshine does :)

I would just assure plant get lots of sunshine now. Further pruning can be done any time later.

Here is a sketch by Al (tapla) to give idea how to prune (not keeping 3 or more branches growing from same spot as shown on very left; but pruning to 2 = bifurcation):

Yes i agree this can be cut further. Once this callouses over I can plant it in the same pot?

The leaves still feel very wobbly. Yes lots of sun!! Good day for all the succulents here in NYC!!

You could stick callused branch in same pot - but I wouldn't. That would be again creating quite similar situation - too many stems, fighting for more space IMO. But, as I said, it is personal preference. Callusing cutting is better if kept out of strong sunlight. It will get limp very fast. Shady spot is just fine. I doesn't need to callus for too long, few hrs or overnight is enough for most cuttings. I usually do not put them in strong light immediately after potting, but wait for few days to let them recover.

Btw, I am just in process of potting plants that were in same pot; all individually (in a photo I posted before).

Ok so I should really cut off this branch too eventually. It is limpy as well

I really would have bet on it being several plants! LOL

The roots look nice and that's a good upgrade you did on the soil mix. So with that little snip and more sunlight, I think you are on your way! Remember to rotate the pot every week or 2 - the plants will lean toward the sun and grow bent if left facing the same direction for too long.

I would put the cutting in a different pot. You'll be watering the original plant and you don't want to water the cutting until there are roots. It may work out fine, but I'm always cautious about possible rot.

Awesome. This must be a different kind of Jade compared to rinas plants cuz her stems look more woody compared to this one. This one is a nice smooth rubbery waxy green to the stem. I won't be watering for a while maybe when the leaves get wrinkly since they feel so limp they must still be water logged a bit. Add you can see it's one thick center stem and another skinny one on the left of it that I can still cut. How much of the skinny stem should I leave on the main stem if I do cut it? Can you guys she'd some light?

I started wondering about it since you showed it bare-root. Leaves look very jade-like (Crassula ovata), but stems are not quite - yet. There are few plants that look similar. There is Senecio jacobsenii ofen called trailing jade, but it is much more trailing, leaves are overlapping and flat. Not your plant. C. multicava has different growth and somehow rounder leaves. Not your plant. I wonder if your plant just didn't have time to harden yet? Many plants are overfertilized to get them grow fast and to stores. It looks very much like jade (C.o.), and stems are same as much of new growth:

I believe it is C. ovata...

Many plants will firm up once give proper sun. This is an Aloe pup I found on the floor of my living room after we did some renovations. It was pale, limp and long. It's very firm now. The purple is from high light conditions. My vote is to just leave it alone and let it grow. It'll be just fine.

Here's a Jade I bought with very long internodal length. It's barked up quite nicely. Don't mind the holes in the leaves *shakes fist* dern snails!

The only thing is to wait and see. It's getting lots of sun now. Just need a nice string of days like this and hopefully it will harden up. It would've been cool to not have had to cut the branch off at all of it could've hardened up from more sun.

Encouraging to hear that ppls limpy plants hardened after getting more sun.

Thanks much for everyone's help.

Actually upon closer inspection I noticed thus woody texture too the backside of the main stem. So maybe it just needed to rid itself of all the moisture and get used to it's new sunny environment

Hardening is visible in photo I posted before; here it is again, circled where bark is starting to form:

Nope, it’s the same kind as Rina’s plant. Young Crassula ovata plants have stems/trunks/branches that are green and shiny, with age they become dull and less green. The older plants then go wrinkled (like we do!) and look more bark-like.

Just one more comparison picture - This baby got plenty of light so the leaves are pretty compact. It is bending because I did not rotate the plant and it is now bowing to the sun. At the bottom, you can see the stem has barked up nicely, but the top is still green.

Thank you everyone for showing some of your Jade plants. Mine is a baby then

Plants shown in previous post have been divided and potted separately. It turned out that 1 was grooving 2 stems, so I left it as is and there are now 4 individual plants. I'll do some pruning when they recuperate, in approx. 2 weeks:

Open those blinds and let the sun in on them!! Lol

Pls don't worry - blinds are never closed only for taking photo against sunny window...

I keep jades in best light indoors, and in full sun from sunrise until sundown in summer outdoors...

I can't wait to do the same then with all my succulents in the summer
