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.
Cutting the top off will encourage it to side shoot and the main stem should also get fatter. Use leaves and tip from the bit you cut off to propogate baby plants.
