How do I transplant a jade plant?

Question

My jade plant has grown so tall it is leaning over in its current pot. Should I try to repot it in a larger pot or leave it in the current pot and just stake it up somehow? - thanks

Go up in size about 2' in diameter. Make sure it is deep enough to accommodate the height, about 2/3 of the plant height. Have sufficient drainage holes in the bottom.

Fill 1/4 with potting soil and moisten.

Remove and place in the damp soil.

Fill the pot halfway with soil and dampen. Then fill to the level of the root ball.

As it settles, you might need to add more soil. Since you are repotting, I would say you have the right soil mixture.

If it has grown tall may just need pruning, and, yes, you can stake it.

Transplant in to a larger pot.because it will eventually fall over anyway.

Jade plants grow like weeds for me. I would transfer to a larger pot with good drainage. Any niblets that break off, just stick in a pot with fresh soil and you will grow more plants. I never trim mine, I just let nature do its thing, but that is purely a personal preference. Here are some sites for reference.
