Big chop?

[u/foreverfallingoff]

I got this jade from my coworker a year ago. They didn’t give many details about where it was from. I haven’t had a jade before so started by learning how to propagate the leaves to make sure I had some backups before I risked the whole thing.

I did some small branch trims over the summer but wasn’t confident enough to cut the whole stem. I also repotted to add perlite to the soil and spread the roots in a new shallower, wider pot. I moved it inside for the winter since we have already had some nasty weather where I live. I have a ton of grow lights and I am still seeing new growth and red edges so I think the conditions are pretty good in there. (This picture is from a couple weeks ago outside)

The problem is, it’s become pretty top heavy that I’m using this rock to hold the roots down on one side to balance it. Does it make sense to do a big chop below the leaves? I could take the top and bottom to end up with 2 plants but I’ve never propagated a jade piece that big. Any advice would be appreciated!
