Picked up this jade on sale

[Bingobango21]

I picked up this jade but the angle seems a bit too much to me, any reason to not straighten the angle a bit ?

Looks like it originally was plumb and angled at the last repot. Make it look like what you want.

I, personally, enjoy the look of as NOT-straight, as SOON as possible.

Almost ALL Jade Specimens (at least the ones who live indoors for portions of the year) are upright, mostly-straight.. “informal-broom”.. blah-blah.. BORING!!!.. I should know, I have two such boring specimens! I also have one that I pushed HARD in a “different” direction.. and I prefer the different one!

As far as YOUR Jade.. I like the angle... MORE ANGLES!!

As far as your, “..any reason not to” question..

Absolutely no reason not to!

Make it look like what you want.

...the most important part.

Yeah.. those are sexy..

I don’t consider those STRAIGHT... maybe UPright... sexy, though!

Straight as in not wired, just clip & grow to force tight growth. Not rocket science.

Indeed!

I’d be hesitant to wire Jades... maybe guy wire...
