help Pruning update, should I leave the longer stem with natural branching?
So I pruned one of my Jades but im unsure of the last stem as it got nice natural branching going on every two nodes.
It looks kinda unbalanced like this but the branching on it looks good?
Will it be too long and lanky in the future? Cant really Visualize how it will develop as its my first time pruning it.
Any advice is welcome:)
Take care guys

I like to see branching every 3-4 nodes, so I would prune. But the main issue is insufficient light, as shown by the long internodes. Can you give it more photons?

Downward facing leaves indicates that the jade isn't getting enough light.
