My jade plant only has one stem growing from the soil. It is starting to become larger now(5-6 inches) and it is starting to bend. Is this going to be a problem.
A friend to me to break off one of its leaves and bury it just under the soil, and it would start a new stem. Is this true??? would that work???
Let me know please!
Thanks,
Andy

yup...it will start a new one, just by lighty placing the base of a leaf into moist soil, or cut about 4 inches off one of the stems and place that about 1 inch into the soil, that is how I start mine.
