I just wanted to thank everyone from my previous post. It seems that my beautiful jade plant of 10 years is on the rebound. After taking repotting and pruning suggestions things are doing well.

I have included one photo of what the plant look like before the repotting and pruning just to give you an idea of how things were looking. My only question is am I pruning this thing properly.? I have always wanted a nice thick stocky jade plant that would stand on its own and not be stringy and have heavy branches that wouldn't support themselves. Which is what I had in the single picture attached to this post.

I am waiting on some suggested 20-20-20 orchid food in the mail and just applied some stakes yesterday to keep everything more upright. I definitely welcome your suggestions!! The only thing that I wanted to point out is that even though my jade plant was not clipped in some areas the branches are still spreading out and dissecting themselves. What's that about?
