Hi @FC-7704, I'm sure you saw, I answered this under your other comment but I'm pasting the answer here too in case others want the answer: "No, it's just better for putting them in soil. You don't have to wait to scab them to place them in water.

Your plant will root in place, and contact with soil will encourage it to root as well. Rooted or not, jades don't like a lot of water, so the soil can go dry between waterings. You can give it some water once a week or so while it's rooting and afterwards. Good luck!

I was just wondering if the leaves need to scab over on the ends as well, before planting. My giant 12 year old jade plant has suddenly died back to just a few stems so I want to see if I can start a few new plants from it. Really enjoyed your video.
Thank you wade stanford, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. And I am sorry to hear about your jade. I'd recommend you use branches instead of leaves but only because jades grow so slowly and leaves take a long time before they start looking like a whole plant. But you can do either (or both) and in both cases it is not a must, but better to let either the branches or the leaves scab over for a day or two before putting them in soil. Best of luck to you!
@@FC-7704 No, it's just better for putting them in soil. You don't have to wait to scab them to place them in water. I would recommend scabbing and soil, but even if you want to propagate in water, I would recommend putting them in soil once they've grown viable roots. Either way, good luck!
Hi Judy Wyatt, yes, the success rate would be lower than a branch with leaves but since the green branches/stems themselves do photosynthesis as well, it is possible to propagate a jade stem without leaves. Good luck and take care.
Hey Syed Jaseem Pasha, what do you mean by complete cycle? You cut off a leaf or a stem, let the cut part scab for a few days and put it in the soil, and it will grow new roots after a while. After that, it is technically a new/independent plant and the propagation cycle can be considered complete. That process would take about 2 weeks. But jades grow really slowly. So if you mean when the new plants will grow new stems, that would take much longer; 5-6 months or even more.
@@syedjaseempasha2420 This video shows hoe to propagate jades using leaves, the method is pretty much the same either way. But leaves take a very long time to start growing new branches. Many of mine take about 6 months or more, even then they are very small so I stopped using leaves. the whole process is faster when you use stems/branches, so I would recommend that. Good luck!
Hi Sukhbinder Mall, any type of used coffee grounds can be added to soil as long as the coffee grounds are about 10% or less of the whole. I have not mentioned this in the video though , is that what you were asking? Good luck either way.
Thank you Carmen Bugeja! No, whether you have a leaf or a stem, once the the broken end has scabbed over and dried (which takes a few days usually) you can plant it in soil if you like. You don't have to wait for roots. Good luck!
Hi Mary Meier, not sure what you mean but if you're using a branch or a stem to propagate, yes, it would be best if it's long enough to have 3-4 nodes.
Great Video I look no further. Simple as i am senior and all my life a learning disability. Now old I hear people whisper start of senile. I guess withg old people they just think Old Age.
Hi Peter DeCicco, nevermind what people say. I'm glad you have enough wits about you to be aware. -And thank you, I am glad you found the video useful. Take care and best of luck with your plants.
Hi! Very helpful video. I was wondering if you knew why my jade plant may have purpleish leaves, and do you think it is healthy enough to propagate? Thanks!
Hi Ada Swann! Thanks for the compliment :) Some jades tend to have purplish leaves, it doesn't always mean there is a problem, but if you feel that it may be a sign of distress, usually too much direct sun or lack of phosphorus may cause purple leaves as well. You could add some coffee grounds to the soil (very little, like a teaspoon, every 3-4 months) but it will most likely be a stress issue. If you need to adjust the light, do that first, and if you don't think it's sun related, add coffee grounds. Wait a couple of weeks, and after about two weeks if it's not getting worse, it should be OK to propagate. Good luck!
@@morbeed No problem. Keep in mind that leaves take a really long time to grow. I'd recommend using larger branches, but whatever you decide to do, good luck!
Hi Ayushi Suman, yes, leaf or a branch, it's best to let it scab over and dry for a few days before putting it in soil. (It's not an absolute 'must', you can put them in soil right away too, but it will be more vulnerable to diseases and take longer to root.) Take care, and good luck!
Thanks for the comment Alpha 7! After the cut area scabs (takes a day or two) your cutting is ready for the soil, and it'll be good there for a very long time (at least a year or two, before you might have to re-pot it into a bigger pot.) Not sure what you mean by "shift it". Good luck!
Hi Hellfire Maximus, sorry to hear that. It's hard to say without seeing what's going on but do you mean the plant just got damaged by the roots but it's still standing, or did you have to break the trunk completely and re-plant it? if it was completely replanted it would be best to substantially reduce the number of leaves, otherwise the plant can't sustain too many leaves without roots. Either way, it is normal for a jade (both leaves and branches) to soften up and look less healthy after getting damaged or being replanted. Good luck! Hopefully your plant will get better soon.
@@AGoodLife I didn't have to completely break off the trunk but i think that the main root was damaged but im praying for that not to be the case. I did trim some leaves though as you suggested, thank you for the quick response and advice.
No problem @@hellfiremaximus3845 :) Keep an eye on the bottom of the trunk. If it seems like it's rotting/getting softer, the sooner you cut the rotten parts off the more of the plant you can save. Best of luck!
Hi Lover of Jesus & Plants, it's fine. I've done that before too. It's better if you let them dry first but it's not the end of the world if you don't. Chances are it'll still be ok, don't worry.
I feel like I know the answer, but I want to be sure, if I were to do a stem propagation, would two shoots of new growth come out of the mother plant where I took the propagation? I am trying to get my jade plant to become fuller with "branches."
Thanks for the comment Claira! Where you get your cutting matters, too. You don't want to make the cut right where a branch starts. You want to cut about 4 nodes after where the branch starts and cut between nodes (node lines) to encourage growth and fullness. I hope that makes sense. Good luck!
Yes. The mother plant will grow back as they do in nature when they get eaten. Make sure to do the cut right after a "node". The node is the line that alternates throughout the whole stem.
Thanks for this great video! When watering cuttings that haven't rooted yet, what moisture level should one aim for for the soil (wet, moist, damp, or dry)?
Thanks for your comment and compliment, Laurel Ariane Regibeau-Rockett ! 😊 Cuttings don't need a lot of water, just occasional water so they can survive. Watering about once a week or so will be enough. I would recommend getting the top of the soil wet/moist once a week (it'll be damp for a few days, and the last few days the soil may be dry, and that's OK.) I hope this helps. Good luck! :)
Im trying to propagate a jade stump (probably around 20 to 30 years old) it has some foliage and some roots still. Should i keep damaged roots moist? Or let them dry?
Hey DudleyTheDragon 420, generally it's better to let damaged areas dry and scab, but it's hard to say without seeing the damage. Also, if you are trying to revitalize the whole stump, it would need a sufficient amount of healthy roots. As long as there's a healthy root system, the stump may try to create new branches and foliage to stay alive, but if too much of the root system is damaged or lost, you may be better off just propagating the remaining green/alive branches. Either way, good luck!
Hi Avneet Kaur- wittymommytales, make sure just the tip of the leaves are in the soil, don't bury them too much. It's usually enough even if you just place the leaf on the soil without burying it, as long as the broken stem of the leaf is close to the soil. Also, don't water them too much. Try it with multiple leaves. Not all of them will make it but some of them should. Good luck!
When I try to use fallen leaves, they tend to rot in the soil. What could be the reason for this? I use freshly fallen healthy leaves but they still rot.
Hi Vinifer, it's a numbers game, they don't all root unfortunately... but if you try with 5 leaves, 2-3 of them should. If none of them are rooting, and they are all rotting, it could be either because of putting them too deep into soil, or the soil is too wet. Keep trying, good luck!
A Good Life your jade plant looks so healthy in the tutorial! Mine has actually grown leggy and the leaves are scanty, thinner, less shinier and greener than yours... I try watering it less but I’m not sure what the reason could be. Sometimes I’m worried that it’s like this because I water it less. Could you please help me out?
hlo sir how much time does a new jade plant take to have new growth? i bought crassula ovata a month ago..but i didn't notice any growth yet...what can be the reason?
Hello Anchal, I would not worry about it yet. Jades are very slow growers unfortunately and it may be a few more months still before you notice some growth. As long as your plant is healthy don't worry about growth rate. Take care!
Hi, I have really high-clay, poor-drainage water here, so any water I add pools up and takes a while to soak into the soil. It isn't as much water as it seems to be. (This is not the best type of soil for jades btw but it's still fine.) You just need enough water to get your soil wet enough so that you can kind of mold it around your new branch to hold it up. Good luck!
Hi Bewater Throughstone, some plants can be propagated using stems without leaves, but I'm not sure about jades. If you happen to have a stem without leaves, might as well try it!
My jade of eight years has gone all mushy, last time I just cut off the stuff that didn't die and stuck em in a new pot that was eight years ago don't know what I did wrong so sad it's happened again.
I can relate Leo Vicious, that exact thing happened to me too, unfortunately. Afterwards, I looked into possible culprits and found out it was probably "bacterial soft rot" which is caused by a bacteria called Erwinia... You should, of course, not use dirty tools for pruning, or use soil from other diseased plants but since this is a bacterial infection, I'm not sure if it can be prevented 100%. I was doing all those things and I still lost a beautiful jade to this bacteria. I'm afraid you can only cut off the rotted parts off, start a new plant(s) with the healthy parts, (practice the preventative measures mentioned above) and hope for the best. I'm sorry you were hit by it twice, hopefully that'll be the last time. Good luck!
Hi Mary Lou, generally speaking beach sand isn't good for plants because it's too fine and too salty. (You can actually use some but make sure to use a lot less than you would another type of sand, get it as far away from the water as possible, and mix it really well with your soil.)
Hi Adya, jades will do fine in most soils, either straight from the ground or potting soils available for sale. (And they're slow growers, so they'll grow slowly in any soil anyway...) But they prefer slightly higher amounts of organic matter, so if you have a compost pile, or have some kitchen scraps you can add a little bit to the soil. (A good soil composition for jades: 1 part peat moss, 1 part compost/organic matter, and 3 parts sand.) Good luck!
@@truthprevails8974 Hi, I water once every week but it's much warmer where you are. You should water about once every 5 days, and not too much. Some plants are thirsty, but jades are succulents and don't need a lot of water. Good luck!

@@AGoodLife I meant the stems where the leaves had been taken off. Wouldn't it be better to take the leaves off at the same time you take the cutting, then they could all dry at the same time?
@@cherrytreeblossom8475 True. Best to take your cutting and pluck the extra leaves off at the same time, so that everything can dry/scab at the same time.
Hi Vijaya Soni , I'm sorry to hear that... If it died because of summer heat, it would help to place plants somewhere with little or no direct sun, and to give it water a bit more often during the summer. I wish you better luck with your other plants!

Hi S Ike, jades are slow growers and that applies to their roots as well. Also, the early root growths are thin and weak. Are you digging them up or pulling them out to check on their roots? That may damage those roots.
I do the same with most other plastic cups, paper cups, and tin cans I use, too! Tin cans (with the paper label removed) and the red solo cups look the best though 👍😊
Hi Esther Alokoa , you don't need a lot of direct light. If they are somewhat by a window, they'll be OK. I don't have enough experience to compare growing lights but if you want one for sure, there is a good list here: www.thespruce.com/best-grow-lights-4158720
HELP!! ANYONE! My fiancé has a 20 yr old JADE plant that he has NEVER EVER PRUNED! It’s gorgeous it’s in a gigantic pot that my 120 pound 5 ‘9” body can fit into, BUT It’s dropping cuttings the size of 1 yr old jade plants! Can I just replant the large cuttings and call it a new plant... or do I have to pluck it apart and propagate little pieces? If I pluck them apart , I feel like I’m ruining an already established plant that people would pay for! Plus...idk if Walmart has enough pots! I can’t imagine propagating from leaves. I lifted the unpruned bottom of the jade and there are dozens of LARGE cuttings living and what I believe to be hundreds of roots coming out from going unnoticed in moist sandy soil!! Can I just plant those as is? I have smaller cuttings in red solo cups. I’m going to have to take them to a Farmers market just to get rid of them. I don’t even know what to sell them for.?? Some are 6 to 12 inches tall and branching out with roots... and they’re just hiding under the jade?! I wish I could post a pic or video! I just need HELP! I’m up to my eyes in Jade.... don’t get me started on the aloe! 😂
Hi Natalie, a huge jade plant like that is not a bad problem to have... First of all, those "cuttings the size of 1 yr old jade plants" yes, you can just plant those. See my video here, and pluck the leaves off of the bottom half, let the end of the branch/cuttings dry off for a few days and you can plant them in soil. I wouldn't recommend planting individual leaves since those take really long to become decent-size plants but you can replant most other branches and those cuttings with roots that have been living under the canopy. Those especially will do well if they've already developed roots. Solo cups are fine for most cuttings, and jades don't need a lot of room for roots, they do fine with a little soil. So you can plant cuttings up to a foot/30cm in solo cups. About pricing, it's hard to say... It would be based on the plant's shape, size, and condition (it will also depend on context, as in where you're trying to sell them and how much people charge for comparable things there. Some markets have more affluent clients than others.) My advice is start at a few dollars each and you can adjust your price based on demand.
A good life THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I’ve been potting for HOURS! You saved me time w the leaves. The really big ones w established roots, I put in ceramic pots I’ll gift to family and friends. I’ve kept years worth of large plastic pots my tomatoes came in. I used those for the medium sized cuttings. (So I can crack them off when ready to put in ceramic pots.) Then i used saved plastic flower pots ( bigger than solo cups) for the remainder. I took about 200 😂 individual leaves and just stuck them back under the canopy... & forgot about them. 😂 Whatever happens to them happens! We shall see what happens!! Thank you again for getting back to me so promptly! I’ll see what I have to sell next summer. Wish me luck!!! PS there were several LARGE cuttings that had fallen off . They were shaped like a tight candy cane and so difficult to plant! I plucked leaves from the bottom but even after several inches of plucking, by the time I got it supported in the soil, the candy cane became an upside down U. I secretly think this Jade would be a green thumbs dream come true! I’m a wildlife biologist... 😂 Botany wasn’t my strong suit. Thank goodness for people like you!!! You saved me from hours of research!
@@natalierozean5989 Glad I could be of some help :) Good luck! (By the way, jade cuttings kind of get soft at first but they usually gain back their form after a few days in soil. Don't let those upside-down U's discourage you!)
Hi Adya Bajpai , I've heard that it can but I have never tried it, and the video shows the most recommend propagating methods. Please let me know if you try it in water, and either way, good luck!
Hi Shubhi, a little bit of wrinkling should not be a problem, don't worry. Also, it would help to not keep them in a hot or sunny place, so if that's the case, move them to a shaded/cooler place until you can put them in soil and water them. Good luck! :)

Excellent sir new friend here👆👍👍👆💝
Thank you
Coco's Garden! Always happy to make new friends! :)
Thank you. You are very clear.
Helo friend can you tell me which weather is suitable for jade plant propagation from stem or from single leave
Hi Kalim, you can propagate jade plants year-round.
Any wether can be. But for propagation warmish wet climate is best.Think rainy season will be most suitable
Thx for your recommendation
Thank you for the tips of propagating jade plant...I wanted to ask,which coffee grounds can you use please?
Hi Sukhbinder Mall, any type of used coffee grounds can be added to soil as long as the coffee grounds are about 10% or less of the whole. I have not mentioned this in the video though , is that what you were asking? Good luck either way.
Thanks for sharing, do the roots have to show before planting?
Thank you Carmen Bugeja! No, whether you have a leaf or a stem, once the the broken end has scabbed over and dried (which takes a few days usually) you can plant it in soil if you like. You don't have to wait for roots. Good luck!
Thank you for letting me know
@@carmenbugeja8722 No problem :) Good luck!
does it need a node?
Hi Mary Meier, not sure what you mean but if you're using a branch or a stem to propagate, yes, it would be best if it's long enough to have 3-4 nodes.
Nice propagation video
Thanks! :)

Hi! Very helpful video. I was wondering if you knew why my jade plant may have purpleish leaves, and do you think it is healthy enough to propagate? Thanks!
Hi Ada Swann! Thanks for the compliment :) Some jades tend to have purplish leaves, it doesn't always mean there is a problem, but if you feel that it may be a sign of distress, usually too much direct sun or lack of phosphorus may cause purple leaves as well. You could add some coffee grounds to the soil (very little, like a teaspoon, every 3-4 months) but it will most likely be a stress issue. If you need to adjust the light, do that first, and if you don't think it's sun related, add coffee grounds. Wait a couple of weeks, and after about two weeks if it's not getting worse, it should be OK to propagate. Good luck!
Do i need to air dry the leaves too before i plant them?
Hi paper æroplane, it is not a must, but it would help if the leaves' scabs were allowed to dry first, too.
@@AGoodLife thank you so much!
@@morbeed No problem. Keep in mind that leaves take a really long time to grow. I'd recommend using larger branches, but whatever you decide to do, good luck!
Great info! Thank you!
Thank you, Diane Leonar! Glad you found it useful :)
Did you leave the leaf sitting for 3 days also?
Hi Ayushi Suman, yes, leaf or a branch, it's best to let it scab over and dry for a few days before putting it in soil. (It's not an absolute 'must', you can put them in soil right away too, but it will be more vulnerable to diseases and take longer to root.) Take care, and good luck!
Thanks for your vidoes it’s helpful for me now just got cuttings from friend
After how many days roots will form and when’d do we need to shift it
Thanks for the comment Alpha 7! After the cut area scabs (takes a day or two) your cutting is ready for the soil, and it'll be good there for a very long time (at least a year or two, before you might have to re-pot it into a bigger pot.) Not sure what you mean by "shift it". Good luck!
A good life thanks
Shift means repotting
@@AmmuAlpha Good, I learned something new! :) Thanks!
Roots can be seen at 3-4 weeks approximately
Thanks for sharing! Would a grow light be helpful? Or only once the roots are established?
Hi Heather Beaudette
, yes, a growing light would be helpful but like you said, only after the roots are well established.
my jade plant got damaged at the root so i let it dry for 3 days so that it forms a scab but the leaves look a bit shriveled is that normal?
Hi Hellfire Maximus, sorry to hear that. It's hard to say without seeing what's going on but do you mean the plant just got damaged by the roots but it's still standing, or did you have to break the trunk completely and re-plant it? if it was completely replanted it would be best to substantially reduce the number of leaves, otherwise the plant can't sustain too many leaves without roots. Either way, it is normal for a jade (both leaves and branches) to soften up and look less healthy after getting damaged or being replanted. Good luck! Hopefully your plant will get better soon.
@@AGoodLife I didn't have to completely break off the trunk but i think that the main root was damaged but im praying for that not to be the case. I did trim some leaves though as you suggested, thank you for the quick response and advice.
No problem @@hellfiremaximus3845 :) Keep an eye on the bottom of the trunk. If it seems like it's rotting/getting softer, the sooner you cut the rotten parts off the more of the plant you can save. Best of luck!
I didn’t let the stem dry is that okay? 😢
Hi Lover of Jesus & Plants, it's fine. I've done that before too. It's better if you let them dry first but it's not the end of the world if you don't. Chances are it'll still be ok, don't worry.
For the cutting, how often do you water it?
Hi Ryan Manahan, a little bit of water about once a week is enough.
Simple and well done !
Thanks Cecilia B. Jordan
! Glad you liked it 😊
I feel like I know the answer, but I want to be sure, if I were to do a stem propagation, would two shoots of new growth come out of the mother plant where I took the propagation? I am trying to get my jade plant to become fuller with "branches."
Thanks for the comment Claira! Where you get your cutting matters, too. You don't want to make the cut right where a branch starts. You want to cut about 4 nodes after where the branch starts and cut between nodes (node lines) to encourage growth and fullness. I hope that makes sense. Good luck!
Yes. The mother plant will grow back as they do in nature when they get eaten. Make sure to do the cut right after a "node". The node is the line that alternates throughout the whole stem.
Thanks for this great video! When watering cuttings that haven't rooted yet, what moisture level should one aim for for the soil (wet, moist, damp, or dry)?
Thanks for your comment and compliment, Laurel Ariane Regibeau-Rockett
! 😊
Cuttings don't need a lot of water, just occasional water so they can survive. Watering about once a week or so will be enough. I would recommend getting the top of the soil wet/moist once a week (it'll be damp for a few days, and the last few days the soil may be dry, and that's OK.) I hope this helps. Good luck! :)
@@AGoodLife Thanks! This is very helpful :) Thanks again for the video!
Laurel Ariane Regibeau-Rockett how to propagate bravehearth plants
Im trying to propagate a jade stump (probably around 20 to 30 years old) it has some foliage and some roots still. Should i keep damaged roots moist? Or let them dry?
Hey
DudleyTheDragon 420, generally it's better to let damaged areas dry and scab, but it's hard to say without seeing the damage. Also, if you are trying to revitalize the whole stump, it would need a sufficient amount of healthy roots. As long as there's a healthy root system, the stump may try to create new branches and foliage to stay alive, but if too much of the root system is damaged or lost, you may be better off just propagating the remaining green/alive branches. Either way, good luck!
@@AGoodLife thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. My Jade still has a lot of roots and big roots. I think she should take
Update. My first stump has a small new green growth. Bout the size of a bb
@@jayydudley5897 Great news! Thanks for sharing. I wish you continued success with your jade! :)
When i put leaves in soil, they dry and become black
Hi Avneet Kaur- wittymommytales, make sure just the tip of the leaves are in the soil, don't bury them too much. It's usually enough even if you just place the leaf on the soil without burying it, as long as the broken stem of the leaf is close to the soil. Also, don't water them too much. Try it with multiple leaves. Not all of them will make it but some of them should. Good luck!
@@AGoodLife thanks I'll try it
When I try to use fallen leaves, they tend to rot in the soil. What could be the reason for this? I use freshly fallen healthy leaves but they still rot.
Hi Vinifer, it's a numbers game, they don't all root unfortunately... but if you try with 5 leaves, 2-3 of them should. If none of them are rooting, and they are all rotting, it could be either because of putting them too deep into soil, or the soil is too wet. Keep trying, good luck!
I have the same issue. Tried couple of times. no success
@@10kangna Keep trying. Try a whole branch instead of leaves, if you can. Good luck!
@@AGoodLife Sure. Thank you. will keep trying.
A Good Life your jade plant looks so healthy in the tutorial! Mine has actually grown leggy and the leaves are scanty, thinner, less shinier and greener than yours... I try watering it less but I’m not sure what the reason could be. Sometimes I’m worried that it’s like this because I water it less. Could you please help me out?
hlo sir
how much time does a new jade plant take to have new growth?
i bought crassula ovata a month ago..but i didn't notice any growth yet...what can be the reason?
Hello Anchal, I would not worry about it yet. Jades are very slow growers unfortunately and it may be a few more months still before you notice some growth. As long as your plant is healthy don't worry about growth rate. Take care!
It's really awesome video..
Thanks Ashok!
Well explained.. simple and clear 👌👍👏
Thanks for the comment Ganesh Iyer :)
hi! got a question, do i really have to wet the soil that much at first when planting the one with branch? (just like what u did) thanks!
Hi, I have really high-clay, poor-drainage water here, so any water I add pools up and takes a while to soak into the soil. It isn't as much water as it seems to be. (This is not the best type of soil for jades btw but it's still fine.) You just need enough water to get your soil wet enough so that you can kind of mold it around your new branch to hold it up. Good luck!
Anyone know if I can use stems with no leaves?
Hi Bewater Throughstone, some plants can be propagated using stems without leaves, but I'm not sure about jades. If you happen to have a stem without leaves, might as well try it!
@@AGoodLife Thanks for the response. I’m going to give it a try. ☺️
Thanks for sharing this useful information 😊🌿🌱
Thanks for the comment Hara Bhara! 😊
Thank you !!
My jade of eight years has gone all mushy, last time I just cut off the stuff that didn't die and stuck em in a new pot that was eight years ago don't know what I did wrong so sad it's happened again.
I can relate Leo Vicious, that exact thing happened to me too, unfortunately. Afterwards, I looked into possible culprits and found out it was probably "bacterial soft rot" which is caused by a bacteria called Erwinia... You should, of course, not use dirty tools for pruning, or use soil from other diseased plants but since this is a bacterial infection, I'm not sure if it can be prevented 100%. I was doing all those things and I still lost a beautiful jade to this bacteria. I'm afraid you can only cut off the rotted parts off, start a new plant(s) with the healthy parts, (practice the preventative measures mentioned above) and hope for the best. I'm sorry you were hit by it twice, hopefully that'll be the last time. Good luck!
Thanks for the info ☺️
No problem @@leovicious6992, good luck!
Can I use sand from the beach?
Hi Mary Lou, generally speaking beach sand isn't good for plants because it's too fine and too salty. (You can actually use some but make sure to use a lot less than you would another type of sand, get it as far away from the water as possible, and mix it really well with your soil.)
Thanks man, very helpful
Thank you, Ahmad! Happy propagating 👍🌱
Can you add a little worm castings to the soil?
Hi Luanne, sure, that would be good.
Thank you
Thank you for the comment rekha hari! :)
What type of soil for jade plant that it grow fast
Hi Adya, jades will do fine in most soils, either straight from the ground or potting soils available for sale. (And they're slow growers, so they'll grow slowly in any soil anyway...) But they prefer slightly higher amounts of organic matter, so if you have a compost pile, or have some kitchen scraps you can add a little bit to the soil. (A good soil composition for jades: 1 part peat moss, 1 part compost/organic matter, and 3 parts sand.) Good luck!
@@AGoodLife How often shud I water my Jade plant....I stay in tropical country where Normal temp is around 30°C
@@truthprevails8974 Hi, I water once every week but it's much warmer where you are. You should water about once every 5 days, and not too much. Some plants are thirsty, but jades are succulents and don't need a lot of water. Good luck!

Isn't it susceptible to rot where you plucked off the leaves as well at the same time? Shouldn't those wounds be left to dry also?
Hi Cherrytree Blossom, you are right, it would be safer to let the tips of leaves dry as well, but it is more of a concern with branches and stems.
@@AGoodLife I meant the stems where the leaves had been taken off. Wouldn't it be better to take the leaves off at the same time you take the cutting, then they could all dry at the same time?
@@cherrytreeblossom8475 True. Best to take your cutting and pluck the extra leaves off at the same time, so that everything can dry/scab at the same time.

In summer my jade plant was died....how can i care of my plant in Indian temperature in summer

Thanks for the comment! :)
How long should I wait for the roots to develop? I've planted my cuttings 3 months ago, and even though they are all alive, none has formed roots.
Hi S Ike, jades are slow growers and that applies to their roots as well. Also, the early root growths are thin and weak. Are you digging them up or pulling them out to check on their roots? That may damage those roots.
A new use for red solo cups!
I do the same with most other plastic cups, paper cups, and tin cans I use, too! Tin cans (with the paper label removed) and the red solo cups look the best though 👍😊
Planning to buy a grow light for my jade plants because I don’t have good lighting in my apartment.

Won't you let it calluse?
Hi Bolt B, I do and I recommend it too. While it's not an absolute necessity, it's best to let any cuts scab for a few days before contact with soil.
HELP!! ANYONE! My fiancé has a 20 yr old JADE plant that he has NEVER EVER PRUNED! It’s gorgeous it’s in a gigantic pot that my 120 pound 5 ‘9” body can fit into, BUT It’s dropping cuttings the size of 1 yr old jade plants! Can I just replant the large cuttings and call it a new plant... or do I have to pluck it apart and propagate little pieces? If I pluck them apart , I feel like I’m ruining an already established plant that people would pay for! Plus...idk if Walmart has enough pots! I can’t imagine propagating from leaves. I lifted the unpruned bottom of the jade and there are dozens of LARGE cuttings living and what I believe to be hundreds of roots coming out from going unnoticed in moist sandy soil!! Can I just plant those as is? I have smaller cuttings in red solo cups. I’m going to have to take them to a Farmers market just to get rid of them. I don’t even know what to sell them for.?? Some are 6 to 12 inches tall and branching out with roots... and they’re just hiding under the jade?! I wish I could post a pic or video! I just need HELP! I’m up to my eyes in Jade.... don’t get me started on the aloe! 😂
Hi Natalie, a huge jade plant like that is not a bad problem to have... First of all, those "cuttings the size of 1 yr old jade plants" yes, you can just plant those. See my video here, and pluck the leaves off of the bottom half, let the end of the branch/cuttings dry off for a few days and you can plant them in soil. I wouldn't recommend planting individual leaves since those take really long to become decent-size plants but you can replant most other branches and those cuttings with roots that have been living under the canopy. Those especially will do well if they've already developed roots. Solo cups are fine for most cuttings, and jades don't need a lot of room for roots, they do fine with a little soil. So you can plant cuttings up to a foot/30cm in solo cups. About pricing, it's hard to say... It would be based on the plant's shape, size, and condition (it will also depend on context, as in where you're trying to sell them and how much people charge for comparable things there. Some markets have more affluent clients than others.) My advice is start at a few dollars each and you can adjust your price based on demand.
A good life THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I’ve been potting for HOURS! You saved me time w the leaves. The really big ones w established roots, I put in ceramic pots I’ll gift to family and friends. I’ve kept years worth of large plastic pots my tomatoes came in. I used those for the medium sized cuttings. (So I can crack them off when ready to put in ceramic pots.) Then i used saved plastic flower pots ( bigger than solo cups) for the remainder. I took about 200 😂 individual leaves and just stuck them back under the canopy... & forgot about them. 😂 Whatever happens to them happens! We shall see what happens!! Thank you again for getting back to me so promptly! I’ll see what I have to sell next summer. Wish me luck!!! PS there were several LARGE cuttings that had fallen off . They were shaped like a tight candy cane and so difficult to plant! I plucked leaves from the bottom but even after several inches of plucking, by the time I got it supported in the soil, the candy cane became an upside down U. I secretly think this Jade would be a green thumbs dream come true! I’m a wildlife biologist... 😂 Botany wasn’t my strong suit. Thank goodness for people like you!!! You saved me from hours of research!
@@natalierozean5989 Glad I could be of some help :) Good luck! (By the way, jade cuttings kind of get soft at first but they usually gain back their form after a few days in soil. Don't let those upside-down U's discourage you!)
Can it propagate in water
Hi Adya Bajpai
, I've heard that it can but I have never tried it, and the video shows the most recommend propagating methods. Please let me know if you try it in water, and either way, good luck!
Yes, it can. Search for videos about it to do it successfully.
What to do if there are wrinkles on leaves while they are left to callus over and while propagating?? Kindly tell 😇😇
Hi Shubhi, a little bit of wrinkling should not be a problem, don't worry. Also, it would help to not keep them in a hot or sunny place, so if that's the case, move them to a shaded/cooler place until you can put them in soil and water them. Good luck! :)
