How do I get my jade cutting to develop branches

Question

How do I get my jade plant cutting to develop branches? I have a cutting from an old jade plant from my mother. It is about 4″ tall. Can I get it to develop branches?

Answer 1

You can pinch off the very top of the plant and branches will start to grow.
Be aware that sometimes open wounds on a Jade can invite insects or disease.
