Hi, got this little stem from a friend and I want to identify this succulent and propagate correctly. I am new to this if I can get any advice to help it thrive

    If it’s fuzzy, variegated crassula swaziensis money maker. If it’s smooth, then variegated crassula ovata (jade).

    Either one, stick it in dry soil and acclimate to sun or !growlights. Wait, and enjoy as it grows.

    Oh, and we have helpful wikis. See the !propagation and !beginner bot replies below.

    They’re beautiful, but a bit slower growing than the green form, like most variegated things. Very pretty!

    That looks exactly like my variegated lemon lime jade! I’m sure the advice given by other people is much more reliable (as I’m fairly new here and to the hobby) but I’ve had success propagating my lemon lime with cuttings just like this.

    I let them sit in a cool dry space for 2 or 3 days to calluse and then plant the callused stem in a nursing pot with high draining cactus soil. Then I wait a week or two to water it. So far I have a 100% success rate!

    That’s some kind of succulent, let the cutting dry out completely for 2 days before you stick it near water, if you put a fresh cutting inside even a single drop of water it will rot 100% of the time
