Pruning Large Jade- advice needed

katedolly
8 years ago

I received this jade as a gift from a family member. They've had it as long as I can remember. With that, comes a bit of stress. I do not want to damage the plant, obviously. I have many small jades (which are happy), but this one a bit out of my experience.

1.) It tipped (slightly) during transportation but dirt was still surrounding root tissue. Should I wait to prune until I know it's roots have regenerated a bit?
2.) Should I keep it in such a large pot?
3.) They never pruned it at any point. The branches are extremely droopy, the leaves are fat, and it is throwing out roots mid branch at some places. Several branches fell off during transportation so I pruned back to new healthy upright tissue. Should I make more drastic pruning cuts?
Please advise. and thank you!
