Simple Steps to Propagate Jade Plant Cuttings

Discover the simple steps to propagate jade plant cuttings and grow your favorite succulent effortlessly. Perfect for indoor or outdoor spaces!

Pick a healthy, mature jade plant with firm, disease-free stems for the best results.

Step 1: Choose a Healthy Stem

Using a clean, sharp tool, cut a 3–4-inch section from the stem just below a leaf node.

Step 2: Cut the Stem

Place the cutting in a dry, shaded spot for 2–3 days to allow the cut end to callous over. This step prevents rotting.

Step 3: Let It Callous

Use a well-draining succulent potting mix or a combination of sand and perlite for optimal root growth.

Step 4: Prepare the Potting Mix

Insert the calloused end of the cutting 1–2 inches deep into the soil. Avoid overwatering during this stage.

Step 5: Plant the Cutting

Place the pot in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight. Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy.

Step 6: Provide Bright Indirect Light

Roots will develop in 3–4 weeks. Once the plant is established, water moderately and watch it thrive!
