Jade tree cutting method

Choosing branches: First, you need to select healthy and strong branches from the jade tree. After cutting the branches, they must be disinfected, usually with a solution of carbendazim, and then placed in a ventilated location to wait for the incision to dry.

Prepare the soil: The soil for jade plant cuttings should be loose, well-drained sandy loam, generally a mixture of plain sand, peat and vermiculite. The flower pots can be plastic or ceramic, and the flower pots do not need to be too deep.

Prepare for cuttings: insert the previously air-dried jade branch into the soil, then compact the soil around the cuttings, water it thoroughly to completely soak the soil, and finally place it in a dimly lit and ventilated place.

Precautions for cuttings of Jade Tree

After the jade plant is grafted, it must be moved to a ventilated place to maintain air circulation. It must not be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise the top leaves will be dehydrated and sunburned, which will easily affect rooting. You can give it weak scattered light, and after rooting, slowly move the plant to a well-lit location.
