It looks fine to me. Do you give it a good amount of sun?

My room has a small window, and the sunlight doesn't exactly get to the plant all the time, but our light is on almost always.

Just be sure o let it dry out between waterings.

If you like that bend-over look, it's ok...Do you know what caused it? Or have you done it on purpose?

It would look better (JMO!) if pruned and started to grow upwards, as they naturally do. But they need plenty of light. Your plant is not receiving enough light - there isn't enough leaves, and existing leaves are too far apart - it should be much more compact. New growth is stretching too, looking for light (it is etiolated). Do you have a 'vision' for this plant? They can be grown into nice 'trees' with little care - and more light.

Here are some young plants that spent whole summer outdoors (they still are):

I can't see the soil very well, but what's visible looks too water-retentive - maybe I am wrong?

The soil probably looks wet because I watered it just before i took the photo. I was just wondering how i would prune the plant if i had to. Could anyone tell me how? Thanks!

Your plant is struggling due to lack of light (for sure) and probably from a cycle of root death and regeneration + impaired root function caused by a soil that holds too much water and/or watering too frequently. The leaves are where the plant's food comes from, and it already needs much more food production to regain it's health, so pruning at this time would be very counterproductive.

Your plant doesn't want to dry out between waterings, because that creates drought stress. It wants to be watered just before the soil is completely dry and drought stress sets in, so monitor its water needs carefully by using a wooden skewer stuck deep into the soil. Only when it comes out clean/dry is it time to water.

Are you fertilizing regularly?

Your water has dissolved minerals in it. When you water in small amounts, all the dissolved minerals in your water accumulate and remain in the soil. As more and more dissolved minerals accumulate in the soil solution (water in the soil) it becomes harder and harder for the plant to take up water. When you water, ideally you would add just enough water to saturate the soil, then return in a few minutes and water again so at least 15-20% of the total volume of water applied exits the drain hole. This most effectively flushes the accumulation of dissolved minerals (salts) out of the soil and makes it easier for the plant to take up water and nutrients. If you can't water this way w/o worrying the soil will remain soggy too long, you might want to consider changing to a soil that DOES allow you to water correctly w/o worry.

Plants don't want measured amounts of water on a given schedule. They prefer to be watered as I described just before they get so dry that drought stress threatens to shut down their ability to grow, make food, and keep their systems in order. I'm not sure if any of this interests you or how much time you want to invest in learning more about plants, so I'll wait to see what you have to say.

Make sure it is not left standing in the water.

please move it close to the window.

When water comes out of the drain holes, the pot should not be left standing in the water.

I recommend watering until you see water pouring out of the bottom and letting it drain. After about two minutes, I repeat this process but make sure I also tip the pot on its side to remove as much water as possible.

What kind of water are you using right now to water it? If you are using distilled water, I have other directions. These directions are for hard water users such as myself.

Either use tap water to save money or start collecting rainwater, buying distilled bottled water, or use water from a dehumidifier.

If you use distilled water, you don't have to use as much water.

What zone are you in (or general location)?
If you need to have light on most of the time, it is really too dark for your jade. Consider getting a lamp, either hanging or floor - whatever you can that would be used for this plant. Put a CFL bulb in it, at least 23W (that is equivalent to 100W incandescent). Also, move plant as close to the window as possible. Turn it 1/4 turn every few weeks, so each side receives similar amount of light.

If you are unsure about pruning, clip off the end to begin with. Let this piece callus (just leave it sitting on a table-counter-whatever for a day or two, then stick it in potting mix. It should root and you'll have another plant.

If you want to cut more, it's easy - up to you, whatever are you comfortable with.

If you supply enough light, the remaining stem will start growing toward it - it may not straighten up completely, but there will be some improvement.

There are many very good articles posted on this forum about better soil mixes and watering of potted plants - here is just one example if you are interested:

It is a long read, but will explain to you lot about watering.
