location is menifee, ca. I lost 2 jade plants in pots last winter due to frost. I could move the pots into the garage, but then they wouldn't get enough sun. It gets down to high 30's at night. Is there any cover i can cover them with? don't know what to do. thank you, Betty
Jade plants are quite intolerant to frost, so high 30s would be okay temporarily, but anything below 32 would damage your plant. If you keep track of when frosts are predicted, you could bring your plant indoors just for those nights or weeks when it will be cold. You could also try covering them with a bucket or the suggestions in this article, but that might not protect them as fully as being brought indoors:

Hi, my 2' tall jade plant has been in my yard in the redwoods for 8 years and looked beautiful until today. It had gotten taller and had many branches. All of a sudden today I saw it had fallen over and when I got closer, I saw that it had broken off, away from the roots which are still in the ground, and what I have has no roots. How can I save this beautiful plant? The stalk of the plant is a 3' diameter. Any help you can give is very much appreciated. Thanks, Dee Woodward
You only option here might be to take the plant apart into multiple plants. This article will help you to take cuttings from this: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/jade-plant/propagating-jade-plants.htm
My Jade plant has a very sturdy stalk and it is getting quite tall. I have a stick in the pot and have it tied to it for stability. I have lots of new growth from droppings. Is it normal to have this tall stalk and should I continue to tie it up or should I let it bend over? I am afraid it will break. Thank you
It is fine to tie it up, as this can happen from time to time. It could be that you may need a wider container to help keep it from falling over. You can also prune the plant lightly if it is too tall.

I would like to know if it is possible to propagate a jade from a stem without leaves?
If the stem is alive, then yes. You can follow instructions as if it were normal cutting. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/jade-plant/propagating-jade-plants.htm
I have a money plant or is it a money tree. I've had it for years But if I touch it by accident the rubbery leaves fall off. Any suggestions why this is? Thank youn
Actually, this is a Jade plant. This could be many things, but this can happen due to over watering. This is the most likely cause. As a succulent, this plant requires dry periods between watering. At least the top, but never the entire soil zone.

Six months ago, I took my 40+yr old jade tree and separated it into 5 substantial plants. I was able to preserve the roots and only separated what was underground. Once each plant had its own room to grow, they took off. One branch, (36” long, and 8” around at its juncture,) above ground, has vectored off and is effecting the whole plants stability. I wonder if I can air layer the branch a couple inches above the juncture? There is great new growth at the top of the branch I want to save, and it would make a great new plant. What mixture would I use in the container I am layering in?
I would use, either, a seed starting mix, or some inert mix such as Pro-mix, that has no nutrient content. You could also add a rooting hormone into the water that you will moisten this with.
I could also suggest using a plastic wrap to layer sections. This requires very little soil, and is a very stable method of layering.
