Jade Plant Cuttings: Drying, Rooting, and Care

Proper Jade Cutting Protocol

Let cuttings air-dry 7–10 days until cut end is fully callused. No need to wait for roots.

Planting

Insert into 50/50 sand and potting soil. Water lightly. Bright sun. Water every 2–3 weeks when very dry.

Timeline

Roots in 6–8 weeks. Best cutting time: April 1 – June 15.

Misting vs. Watering

Misting is fine; just avoid soggy soil. No standing water in saucer.

Hummel Sunset Branch Drying

If a branch dries before rooting, it may be a lost cause. Ensure callus is fully formed before planting.
