Thank you Toni. This plant did not have one leaf left on it. I was shocked to see it pull through!!!

it is similar but, cardamine has only 2 leaf sets - these i have have 3 also, the flower is sort of like what i have - in that it starts from the center but the flowers - they actually did not look like conventional flowers and really did look like an actually ball that resembled a firework that had just exploded. maybe I had just seen it at the point before which flowers had come out...but regardless, the flower structure looked different and more profuse to resemble fireworks also, the leaves are not as heavily serrated. i believe they have small serrations, not large. i wish i could help more. maybe ill take a pic. in the woods of a mature one this week. thanks for the help! you guys and gals are always great

I have few suggestions - not about plant yet: The container...it is very nice but probably not most practical since it recurves on top and is quite narrow. It will cause bit of a problem whenever repotting. If my, I would keep just 1 plant in it. It is easier to use containers wider on the top. More practical problem for you... It is advised to make sure there is good drainage - well draining soil and drainage hole in the container. There are ppl that grow succulents in containers without drainage hole very well, but I would suggest that they are very experienced and knowledgeable and can provide best conditions for their plants. Jades respond to very drastic pruning, we even call it whacking. There are many threads on subject of whacking here. Severe pruning and often no leaves left at all. Your plant looks very nice but IMO it is little etiolated. That happens if plant wants more light. Branches keep growing fast, skinnier than if more light was available, and the leaves are spaced further apart. I would say that you did good job pruning. If the result doesn't please you, plant could be pruned further. Bu it is difficult to suggest where to cut: everyone has different idea as how they want their plant to look, so you really need to know how do you want it to look in the long run (not so easy!). It also takes a while before new growth fills in and you can really see new shape. I can only tell you what I would do if my plants: I would pot them separately - that way each plant has plenty of room to grow in each direction. I would make sure there is lots of light - if not enough available, it will continue growing in very similar way. If not enough indoors, maybe you should consider adding supplemental lights. Many of us do, light coming thru the windows is not as strong as it would be outdoors. I also put them outdoors, into full sun, as soon as it is warm enough. If you can't or don't want to, supplemental light indoors may be of great help. I would most likely shorten few long branches - but that is personal preference. I would make sure plant is in fast draining potting mix and provide drainage hole. I never fertilized my jades, and they grow just fine. Few of them bloomed first time this year, these are not very old plants (perhaps 5-6 (?) yrs old, I got them quite small - definitely smaller than your plants - 4yrs ago). Your choice - but IMO, fertilizing plant that grows in less light only makes it to grow fast and thin. Your choice :) At this point, maybe you should leave them pruned as they are. They should start growing new leaves and branches. It may take 3-6 weeks before you see new growth; how long since you did pruning?

Could be "Mallow neglecta" a fairly common lawn "weed" sometimes misidentified as ground ivy. The "weed killers" probably killed off the plants that were there but new ones appeared from the prolific seeds these things produce. Perhaps this article might be of some help. http://www.better-lawn-care.com/common-mallow.html#axzz4mEYDCWro
