This tiny Jade plant has been with me for about 6 months and it was time to prune it so it could branch out and I could make more propagations from it.

Here’s how I did it.

✂️ I started by removing each stem with clean pruners. Making sure to leave at least one leaf on each stem left on the plant. Then I removed the leaves towards the bottom of the stem and let them sit for 48 hours to form a callous. I don’t do this for all leaf props but for Jade I do.

🪨I used a potting mix that had peat, coir and sand that would provide adequate drainage, and have just the right amount of water holding capacity.

🪴Then I filled a tray with the propagation mix and gently compacted it.

🌱 And next I laid each leaf with the top-side up on the mix.

💦 To water my succulents, I thoroughly saturate the soil and wait until the soil completely dries out before watering them again.

  1. I just found,why you took the leaves off the jade plant. You threatened them with a needle and thread. Tied the ends, place them in a clear container, hung it on your wall, beautiful,just beautiful. I love it. It's on one of your plant pages.. thanks..

  2. I propagate jade plantas by sticking fallen leaves back in the soil in same pot!!
    I have so many!!! I love jade plant. February is the blooming time!! Beautiful

  3. Let the cutting sit out in open air for about 3 days. Then put in proper dirt and it will root just fine. No water propagation for it
