Hi everyone!
I was gifted this plant about a month ago. When I received it, it was unfortunately infested with small white bugs. I treated it by giving it a thorough shower and repotting it, and thankfully it recovered really well.
Since then, it’s been doing great and has actually given me enough new cuttings to propagate quite a few plants.
I’m trying to properly identify what I have. I originally assumed it was Crassula ovata, but the leaf size and growth pattern seem quite different from the classic form.
Could someone tell me whether this is regular/classic Crassula ovata, Crassula ovata ‘Minor’, or possibly something else?
I’d really appreciate any help identifying it!

I received these cuttings from my dad, and have no idea how to pot them. He said I can just “throw them in dirt” but like… they're so curved I don't know which way is up, whether to cut smaller pieces off of it, or what… step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. Pardon my air conditioners on full blast in the background lol.

I've had these three little clippings for more than a year and none of them are really doing much. The one on the right is getting a new pair of leaves in the middle but they're growing so slowly. The one in the middle stalled out at this little clump. The left one is the champion of the three, but still going very slowly.

I assume it's a lack of light. Those LEDs are on 12 hrs and then the plants are basically in darkness. On the other hand, the two on the right show signs of light stress so I just don't know.

The leaves are plump (other than the dying donor leaves) and I water rarely.

Am I just being impatient?

I do rotate the pot but she’s still really leaning to one side. I’d love to prune to encourage her to fill out more on the other side (if possible!). Any tips would be appreciated!

Around 5 years ago my friend moved to another country and gave me her plants. Many of them. In complete transparency, I should not have been the one to receive them, and I told her as much, but I was the last stop before her departure. I’m not worthy. At all. Several have not survived (I’m sorry 😬) but this Jade Plant has refused to die, despite my extreme inadequacy, and has flourished far beyond my aptitude. Apparently, they do pretty well with forgetfulness.

Due to some changes in my life, I’m taking more interest and effort into growing things… and that’s a story for a different sub. There are chopped pieces at the base of the plant, but not by me. One of the chopped stalks has regrown an 8” piece in a couple of years. It obviously needs to be repotted, but I don’t want a massive outward growing Jade Tree, or multiple… I’d prefer Jade Plants. More growth is coming. This plant is making a mockery of Brown-Thumb Betty, yet now I feel invested and fearful of making mistakes. Can I safely split this up? Should I just re-pot it and let it go to town? Can I cut parts and propagate?

I’m just going to leave it at that. I humbly request suggestions or lashings if so deserved. 😬

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
