is always a good idea, as it helps the plant sprout more stems, but you can prune in any which way you want – doesn’t matter – jade will keep on growing and becoming bushier – pruning will simply speed up its process!Make sure you clean your pruning shears, knives, or scissors and keep them sharp, too.
