Patiently waiting for others who have correct answers to comment bc every jade prop I try dies 🥲

You could easily turn that into like 50 plants. Each leaf can be propped individually, or you could literally just stick that entire thing in the dirt and walk away and it would probably do fine. I find broken pieces under mine that have roots all the time.

I would get a small terracotta pot and put it with a mix of some perlite and potting soil. It would probably turn out really cool if you just stuck it in T pose, and make another small plant with the other cutting.

I just pop them in cactus soil and perlite, give it a good water and wait. Never had one fail, especially large stalks like that!

Yes, callus, put in indirect sunlight, don’t water for a month. Then check if roots have been established. If so, water and expose to full sun gradually.

Yes. Just stick it in soil, whether a leaf or a branch. Both can root

That looks more like elephant plant (Spekboom) than jade.
Am I wrong?

This can definitely be propped. Either water propping or sticking it in soil after callousing. I have had better with soil propping, but that is probably bcs I get impatient with water on jade. I have a couple right now that I propped different ways. One in water and one in soil. Both are doing well, although the water prop seems to be doing better currently. If you do water prop, be sure to wait until the roots get roots. That will ensure better success

It even grow roots in water

I’ve personally only had success propagating the parts that haven’t lignified. A few years ago my mom’s jade plant’s soil was riddled with fungus so I cut all the green branches off and now we have about thirty small jade plants in our house 😭. Just make sure you let them callous for a week first before you put them in soil or else they’ll rot. And if I remember correctly you aren’t supposed to water succulent babies for like another week after you put them in the soil so that they’ll actually send out roots.

You gotta clean the tip that qqs cut then let it dry out. That usually takes a week.

Yes, just shove in dirt during summer after a squirrel chews off large chunks of your jade because you didn’t refill the feeder

I’ve never propped a piece this large. BUT I have done small branches off of my mother plant..I just rub the bottom in rooting hormone, and pop it into some moist soil and forget about it. That’s worked for about the 30 or so I’ve propped that way!

The pieces that have broken off of our large outdoor potted jade are all growing happily around the pot. I never even touched them. In our climate they thrive on neglect.

Started this cutting in September. It even bloomed!
