  3 0 Dear Dr_Adequate, Succulent-plant.com addresses your question as follows: “To maintain a plant at about the same size, treat in a similar way to a bonsai tree. Prune the roots when re-potting into the same size pot and cut back the stems to maintain a pleasing shape. This will help to develop a thick main trunk. Prune back to just above the rings on the stems where the old leaves were located. New leaves will grow from these locations. Do not be afraid to cut back the growth. Providing the plant has a well-developed main stem, it is possible to prune back weak growth until there are no leaves left. New ones will grow at the cut ends after a few weeks. However, such severe pruning should not be carried out too often!” For more growing tips, check out http://www.succulent-plant.com/families/crassulaceae/moneyplant.html I hope this helps and answers your question!

At least, that's what we did in college... O my captain commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 Thank you Master Gardener. I also tried the 'using sticks to prop up' method with another jade years ago. It didn't work well. Dr_Adequate commented about 1 year ago | Report 1 0 You both make me laugh! Sharpened pencils to support the plant. . . . Hmmm,maybe not the best solution. Besides, what about the lead?(LOL).
