Jade Plant Water Propagation : First Try

This is my first proper attempt at propagating the Jade Plant. I tried propagation without any knowledge a week ago. I cut the plants and put them into water straight away but I felt like something wasn’t right so I searched about water propagation on Google and it says I need to wait for a few days after cutting plant.

After taking a cut of the Jade plant, you need to wait until the ends of the cut to dry out and form a callus. It’ll prevent rotting of the Jade plant. So I took it out of the water and let it dry. I’m not sure if it’s going to be okay or not because I had already put them into water. Anyway I gave it a go.

People says the Jade plant can be propagated in either water or soil. Also it’s one of the best plants to start with if you’re inexperienced at propagation. I’m trying both water and soil methods. I put two cuttings of the plant in water and one in soil. In the right conditions, it usually takes 2-3 weeks to form roots but I don’t think my house has the right conditions for plants. So it’ll probably take longer than that. I need to be very patient.

I found out that there are so many plant care supplies. Plant rooting hormone is one of the supplies I got to know while searching about plant propagation. It helps your plant to grow root faster and more successfully. I don’t have this product now but I’m thinking about getting this one.

Anyways, it’s time to wait!
