Habe gerade diese schöne Jade von einem Freund bekommen! Es lehnt sich ziemlich stark, sollte ich versuchen, zu schneiden? (Jeder Jade -Rat ist ebenfalls willkommen)

I’m not entirely sure how long this one’s been rooted, but there’s fresh growth and it seems pretty sturdy in the pot (albeit leaning like the Tower of Piza) and the lowest part of the stem is beginning to harden up. Looks like it needs a good prune? I’ve grown some plants here and there but I’m still pretty new to succulents in general.
Jades like this are pretty forgiving.
If it were me I’d repot (at least move to the middle for aesthetics & wiggle room), pop in a wooden chop stick, and tie the stem to that. Could also mostly tie it, and increase tension over time, but probably not needed. You could also get some wire and ‘shape’ it as well.
If this were thicker in the trunk, and starting to get the older jade woody exterior to it, then it would be more set. But I find jade still somewhat thin and green like this to be easy to shape.
2 weeks ago, I just severely prune all of my jade plants down to the first or second set of leaves and repotted the trimmed bits. Above the nodes where I pruned I already have new shoots popping out.
Cut of the stem in the middle, jades needs to be pruned
I would cut it down and root the top piece by sticking it in the same pot. You’ll get a bushier plant. Give in lots of light. Let it dry out completely between waterings. Fertilize regularly. Good luck
A jade plant I received from a cutting was like this. I just propped a thin stick (think skewer or dowel) next to it and loosely tied thread around it so it cld stand tall and not lean.
Turn it away from the light and it will straighten itself out.
I propped my leaning jade up with some chopsticks and it helped tremendously. It’s finally growing straight up.
I would just put a stck in the pot to lean it back so it’s straight. I’ve done this many times and works well. Also rotate the pot, so all sides get some light. He’s leaning because he wants more light.
