    I just recently moved my jade plant outside, I also transplanted it and treated it with a systemic, (because some of my other houseplants had an insect eating the leaves) my question is can I prune my jade plant now or should I wait until it has adjusted to all the changes I have made already? My jade plant looked healthy, but I thought I should treat it beacause a majority of my plants had these insects. I took plant leaves(from the plants that had been infested) to my local garden center and they could not identify what insect it was they just told me what to use for it, and that I should treat all my plants. This is the first time I have posted, there is good information here, I can learn a lot. Thank You.

    If you transplanted and sprayed at the same time I would suggest waiting until you see it growing well again. Not only for the sake of the plant, but it might help with rooting the cuttings you prune off. Don't just throw them away.
