January 24, 2021Q.How To Replant Large Jade Trees With Broken Roots?
Hi. I've been gifted 5 large jade trees. Beautiful. Due to some landscaping they've been uprooted, with most roots destroyed. So they are well over 1m tall but with hardly any roots. How should I replant them? Should they get in the ground asap, or wait for broken roots to dry out properly? (I'm confused by other posts). They will be outside, in the ground. My instinct was just to plant them asap with some support so they can stand up. They've been out for 3 days and I've been watering the roots everyday.

Certified ExpertA.They still have some roots so I would go ahead and plant them in their permanent location. (Add support if needed) Wait a couple of weeks for the roots to start growing before watering again. Here is jade care outside:

ocean city 21842Q.How To Grow A Jade With One Trunk
I received several cuttings of a jade and planted them in a pot and they are growing well. My goal is to have a nice big jade with a single trunk. I know this will take several years. My question is should I have just started with on cutting? And then prune to get split branches? Or will the 3 or 4 little cuttings come together as one trunk given time? thank you

Certified ExpertA.If the multi cuttings were placed very close together (remove lower leaves) and secured with string, they should merge. You may have to continue to remove lower leaves and add more string as it grows.

Certified ExpertA.There is no, real, need to trim it. If you want to start some new pieces, then it will tolerate some pruning, but it isn't necessary.
Here are some articles that will help:

April 9, 2021Q.Jade Plant Unhappy
Hi. My jade plant was doing fine until it started drooping and when I touch the stem, it seems brittle & shriveled inside. I water it generally once a week when I put the water meter in it and the meter says "dry." I only use filtered water because our water from the tap seems to have a few minerals in them. I have it by the window where it gets pretty good light and stays a comfortable temperature. I have other jade plants that seem to be just fine. What have I done?

Certified ExpertA.Even though your moisture meter says "dry," I think once a week is too much water for a jade plant. Especially during winter they need less. These articles should help:
