Question
I had a jade that was leaning to one side from originally being in a solarium against a slanted window.  It did well after being potted and moved but started dropping more to the floor from the weight.  I took several ends (6-8 inches) and planted them 3 to 4 to a pot.  Should I only have one planting in a pot (8-10 inch pots).

Thank you.

Answer
Dear Dale,

If you goal is to have many individual plants, then seperating them later can be a pain, but isn't a problem. I plant things 3 or 4 to a pot simply because I don't have enough spare pots or soil, but the plants don't seem to care much. They should be fine.

Sincerely,

Greg
