David,

It is very easy to propagate the jade plant. Look for branches and/or leaves
that did not froze bite and just stick them into top soil. You'll see new
growth in no time. But if they are all froze biten then it may not live. In
that case you'll have to buy a new one or ask friends for cutting.

I have a jade plant over 30 years of age with many thick branches and
off-shoots. I have never re-potted the plant, so we undoubtedly have a
problem in that area -- the plant is very large.

Nevertheless, that is not my main problem.

In the past few days, we have had an unusual freeze situation in
wonderful, mild, Victoria, BC, Canada, and we did not pull the jade inside
before that time. As a result of the freeze, once we brought the plant
inside, all the thick trunks bended over and now demonstrate no interest
in erecting themselves to their two-foot glory.

Can we save the plant? If so, how?

If not, how do we propagate the plant? (The original was a propagation
from my mother's plant.)
