How to propagate Jade Plants by cuttings

1. Cutting time

There are not many restrictions on the time for cuttings. Generally, it can be done all year round, but spring and autumn are the most suitable times. The climate during this period is relatively mild, the rooting speed is faster, and the chance of survival in the later stage is higher. If you are taking cuttings in summer, you need to lower the surrounding temperature. If you are taking cuttings in winter, you need to move them indoors to ensure the chance of survival.

2. Cuttings

Cut branches from plants with good growth, and make sure the branches have leaves, so that the chances of success will be greater. The length of the cuttings is about 8-12cm, and the leaves at the bottom should be removed, otherwise they will easily rot. Then put the branches in a cool place to dry. The wound will dry after about 1-2 days.

3. Take cuttings

Insert the branches into the sand bed and maintain a good surrounding temperature. It is easy to take root in an environment of about 20-25℃. If the surrounding maintenance conditions are suitable, it will generally take root in half a month.

4. Cultivation and care

The later culture soil can be mixed with leaf mold and garden soil. The proportion of the former is larger, so that there will be more nutrients. Tiles should be placed at the bottom of the flowerpot to facilitate drainage. After that, pay attention to the application of water to avoid water accumulation.
