I have a jade plant that I grew from a single leaf a year ago. It looks so leggy now. I water it once a week and it sits in a west facing window sill. How do I make it bushier?
Here's a picture:

I would pinch out the growing tip of your little plant Tina. This usually makes them grow bushier.

Eileen - Thanks! Will try that.
Petunia - I just got a very healthy looking leaf from a friend's jade plant and stuck the end of it in potting mix.Thats it. But it took a really long time to root.
I have zero gardening skills and whatever survives in my garden is the credit of the plants itself.
