Q.Can The Main Stem Of Jade Plant Be Cut Off And Rooted?

Zone 55025 | Anonymous added on February 12, 2024 | Answered

I have a tall, skinny jade plant that all the leaves fell off but now many leave are regrowing. I would like to cut the main stem in half and try to root the top piece. Is that possible/a good idea? I don’t like the look of the plant with one long stem.

Yes, you can cut off the top and root it. Wait till the leaves have returned. More light may stop it from growing that way. Here is more:
