My first jade

Posts: 4
I trimmed off half the limbs two months ago, I have new growth but I am afraid the limbs are getting too long, two have fallen off in the last month.
I did just cut off a few branches and booked them into the soil at the base of the mama Jade.
I love this Jade and I want to do right by it. It was given to me by my grandmother.
Any help would be appreciated!

Also, can anyone tell me the scientific name for my Jade?

The above post shows how your plant should look in ideal conditions ; yours is not getting enough light .
Keep almost dry in the winter , a bright a place as possible is vital .
They can be drastically pruned in the Spring , and will readily regenerate ; just lop all weak and drawn branches . Have you access to a greenhouse or conservatory ; that would be ideal .
PPS Crassula ovata is synonymous with C.argentea
