Jade plants are very hardy, you can prune it, plant the top sections and they’ll root, and the lower sections will make new sprouts.

This plant was given to me three years ago and I love it!
It fell down five stories in a storm three days ago (I was away during that time and its a pretty self sufficient plant, so I didnt really think about it) and this is the result.
The pot seems to have absorbed most of the shock for the roots, they look just fine.
I removed all leaves that were loose and didnt resist tender pulling. The stems were already broken off.
The stems themselves look fairly sturdy, but have no leaves to support them anymore and (probably because of water shortage or Impact damage) bend downwards.
Theres a few “new” growths on the stem that have survived its shock.
How do I safe this? I really love this plant, but I dont even know its name or what kind of fertilizer I could give it

Do the stems feel squishy or soft if pressed gently between your fingers?

Poor baby 🙁
If the soil is very waterlogged and cannot dry out fast: repot into succulent soil. Don’t let the roots stay in wet soil. (If you do repot it consider using a heavy pot so that the wind can’t blow it over again haha.)
Otherwise jade plants are just about un-killable. Leave it alone with plenty of sunlight and it will come back.

You would save the broken bits you could have probably rooted them too. Just treat it like normal and it’ll come back strong.
