If over-watered, jades (and portulacaria) tend to lose roots to the point where one day they simply tip over in the pot.

How well a plant can do is a holistic measure of the cultural conditions the grower provides. A well-made 5:1:1 mix provides considerably more potential for most plants to do well than a very large % of commercially prepared media based on peat, coir, compost, composted forest products, and other fine ingredients; and the gritty mix provides more potential for jades and most succulents to do better than either of the 2 aforementioned media. Ultimately though, it's how well you are able to identify any/all limitations and correct them that defines your ability as a grower ...... and we're all in the same boat right along with you.

Al,

Allow me to clarify. It is not tipsy in the pot. It is tipsy due to the pot. The Jade is quite large and in a small pot with a steep taper.

I have put that tipsy Terracotta pot into a nice square pot that cured the issue. I'll wait until summer and repot/root prune and find a terracotta pot with less taper.

Sound reasoning .....

Al
