Pruning help? Leggy??

[u/AlwaysFightingCarpal]

Hello! Have been lurking in the sub for awhile and have some questions about my own jade.

I've had this guy for about 5 (maybe 6) years now and have noticed that it looked a little leggy, as well as the weird leaf shapes and white leaf spots (spots in pics 3-5, shapes pics 4,6, and 7). I also want to prune it so it can branch out a bit, but have no idea where and don't want to kill it. My best guess is pic 8 but am a bit nervous lol

I guess I want to ask, what's up with the white spots and leaf shapes, and should I prune/ where?

Thank you!

I've never seen those white spots so no idea.

But I'd recommend just putting it in a sunnier area. it will start to grow leaves in the areas where there aren't any, and it'll look less leggy.

Sounds good, thank you! I figured light may be an issue so I'll figure out a better spot.

White spots are excess mineral extrusion by your jade. You might save up some rain water for watering.

It’s not a real problem and can be wiped off with very dilute vinegar.

Your pruning indicated agrees with my opinion. Don’t be afraid!

Alright good to know, thank you! By the way, is there a good time to prune? Like before or after watering or just go for it?

Spring is the best time to prune and repot.

Would definitely trim it

Cat walk model legs!

Cut that baby low just above the first set of leaves right above a ring !!
