Jade Stem Cuttings
In early September, I took stem cuttings from a jade plant I had and put them on plates to scab over. Life got crazy and they are still sitting out, 2 months later. Is it too late to try and propagate them and if not, what is the best way to get them to root? I have never tried to propagate a jade plant. Thank you!
It depends usually jade only needs a few hours to dry and unlike cacti, they can actually be planted almost immediately since they don't have a lot of sap.
I don't know if the jade will root this far out, it depends if they have not dried out.
Jade is very easy to propagate by stem or even leaf cuttings. I usually just cut a branch of the jade plant. I may or may not dip the end in rooting hormone. and I stick it in a pot with well drained potting mix and put it in on my cutting bench which is in 50% shade until the roots have started to grow and the cutting does not give with a gentle tug. Then it can be hardened off to its final destination.
