Top-Heavy Jade Plant: Deeper Pot, Stakes, and Pruning

Your 20″×29″ jade leans because it’s top-heavy and unrotated. Fix with:

  1. Repot into a deeper pot (10″ wide × 8–10″ deep). Extra soil weight stabilizes.
  2. Prune the leaning side to balance canopy.
  3. Compress new soil firmly around rootball.
  4. Add two ¼″ stakes through rootball to pot bottom; tie trunk loosely with string/rubber bands. Remove in 6–12 months.

Rotate monthly going forward. Jades stay in same pot 5–10 years if kept snug.
