Silver jade plant's sudden growth spurt!

My silver jade plant has been bound and determined to drive me crazy since I got him. All the other plants from the succulent arrangement he was in have been growing happily in individual pots, some to the point that I've chopped/propped or been able to behead leggy growth and prop leaves, etc, but this guy has been doing a fat lot of nothing for months. I don't know if it's because of the dramatic increase in sunlight my southern windows get during the winter months due to how my house is positioned or because I suspected I was not watering him as often as he wanted and slightly adjusted my watering routine, but in the last week or two, the new leaves on top have legit tripled in side at least and now I've got a new branch starting off the lowest leaf! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Congratulations! Love new growth, especially on one that is taking its time!
Mine did extremely well in my arrangements this summer, up until August when my cat mauled it and it lost most of its leaves!! ๐Ÿ™ƒ they are slow growers so I was upset, however it has grown new sets of leaves , but itโ€™s nowhere near as close as the size before. Mine liked a lot of water but wouldnโ€™t need any water again until 3 weeks. They can go a while because of chunky leaves. I think they might be summer dormant ? Which means extreme weather it may not grow near as fast.
Ever since summer ended I had to take my silver dollar jade, Mochi out of the arrangement. It was a large pot so it stayed outside and got partial sun throughout the day. When summer ended I had to eventually bring it inside, and every plant inside the pot began to etoliate or wilt due to the extreme climate change, except my silver dollar, and turquoise tails. I have since repotted and have been keeping it under grow lights, it has a new set of leaves but has been more thirsty.. ๐Ÿชด btw I love the heart shaped leaf on your jade ๐Ÿคญ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป itโ€™s so cute !
