Cacti & Succulents

Darn it!!

9 years ago

Well, after years of gradually moving my big old jade outside for the summer without any issues, this year I blew it. It got sunburned and is dropping leaves like crazy....now it needs a drastic pruning, which I am loathe to do, since I am one of those "collectors" who can't throw out viable plant material.....
Oh we'll, I will have a ugly chopped plant for a while but in a year or two it will be beautiful again! and I will have lots of little jades!!!

B,

It will come back as you know, but what are you going to do with 157 jade starts?
