What do you think? Is it time to repot my Jade Plant?

Naw, just kidding. It's in a 3 inch pot and the trunk isn't even 2
inches in diameter yet.

Maybe time to pot it at the dump?

They make great Bonsai specimens with no trouble.

It's hard to believe that it survived that long in such a small
container. Is that normal for a jade plant?

Yes, they have small root systems.

Steve's approach to keeping it from falling over is novel: many people
put a nice heavy rock in the bottom of the pot, maybe pinch out the odd
shoot to keep the weight in the middle.

I think maybe I should post one of mine.

Here is the base. 7 inch pot, the stalk is 8 inches in circumference
at the base.

Hi to all who replied,
I sent a reply to joevan's first message (about it needing to be
repotted at the dump). I don't see it anywhere. Let me repeat and add
some more. Actually, it's in my sent box so I'll copy:
"Of course, I wasn't really looking for advice. I just wanted to share
the absurdity of the thing.
None the less, I think your suggestion is excellent. :-)

Steve "

Does anyone see that posted here the first time?

The picture shows it hanging from a piece of twine. I'm not really
growing it that way, I just put it up there for the picture, since it
can't possibly stand up on it's own.

So how did I grow it if it can't stand up? Well, someone gave it to me
several (10?) years ago. I didn't really want it. I placed it's little
pot on top of the soil of a potted hibiscus plant. The Jade plant grew
up and used the branches of the hibiscus for support.

I've been wanting to separate the 2 tangled plants and take a picture of
the Jade for a few years. It looks so ridiculous in that little pot. The
decision was pushed along when, last week, I moved something next to it
and the whole combo plant fell off its shelf. It didn't make it all the
way to the floor, but it ended up hanging upside down with the Jade
Plant falling about half way out. I held it upside down and finished the
separation. In the accident, several parts of the Jade Plant broke off,
so the plant was actually even bigger than what the picture shows.

Use it for cuttings
Cut everything off of the trunk and use all of the branches for
cuttings.
Leave about six or eight inches of the trunk and repot it in a six inch
clay pot.
Give it lots more light

It was a joke on my part, and yes those things are easily broken. They
can go a long time without water and or take water often. Too often
and it causes pieces to fall off, I discovered. Mine too was bigger
and was retrieved at least once from a falling to the floor.

No, I didn't want the thing in the first place. I certainly don't want a
bunch more of them. I might play around with it and do some pruning to
see if I can shrink it considerably.
