MarksJadePlants said:That's interesting, as I've read that Jade plants originated in South Africa.

Every article I've read say Jade's love arid, sunny and dry desert-like conditions.

Arid, sunny and dry, that's what mine gets. Its a little shaded in the afternoon or it would be redder.

What a contrast. My indoor jade plants have to be pruned. Otherwise, they don't branch out well. I've had many of plants grow straight up, until they can't support the weight, and they fall over. On a positive note, Jade's propagate so easily, it's snap to cut and re-plant with great success. So, pruning is the only way I can give them a fuller, bushier look.

That should be telling you, although your Jades look great, they aren't getting as much direct sun as they would like.
