• Mrs c00ps' jade plant has gone very leggy (a single stem of three in the pot has shot up about a foot and a half over a few months with no side branches at all). She's been keeping it in a north-facing bathroom window, but that side of the house is shaded by trees. It is also in a very small pot, to try to keep it small-ish. Any way to stop it trying to become Jack's beanstalk? My first though is it is a light thing, rather than pot size or anything else - amirite? Do you prune these at all? I have no idea.

  • Light yeah, it needs a good couple of hours of full sun to stop it going leggy. You can prune them back if they get out of hand, and it’s pretty easy to propagate a new jade plant from the cuttings.
