How To Propagate Jade ( 4 Ways and RESULTS )

#jade #propagate
How to propagate jade tree cuttings. In this video I will propagate jade with different methods to see which propagation method works best. Propagating jade in soil works well, but perlite and even water can work. The best tip for propagating jade is to bury a large part of the stem so it can root well from multiple nodes.

Fungus Gnat Removal (leverages a bacteria that kills only fungus gnats and mosquitos)

Stem rot happens when you don't callous the stem and you should cut off most of the leaves so the plant can focus on rooting instead of feeding the leaves. Also, you should cut the stem right below the node to minimize rot.

I can't help but think the fresh cuts played a part in the rot that you experienced. Succulents and cacti (and BOP) can be started in dry soil, then watered about a week later.

I had a bunch of cuttings once that I just dumped on top of a pile of soil, and they rooted like mad, all up the stem wherever they touched the soil. So cool

[rememberberries]

I did it
All methods but 2

Here is what I found.

Best method: cut it, let it dry for 3-7 days then put it in a ziplock bag with moss, add some root growth hormone and water. Watch them explode to life!
I had a clipping I left out for 2 weeks, it was a dying stick, I did this method and now have a tiny jade plant from it.

Water method-: Very slow. But works, 70% of the time.
Soil method: Slow, Im impatient.

Pls make a experiment with callused over and fresh cuttings!

I literally just picked up a bunch of jade cuttings at the library so this video is perfect.

[sushiegirl]

I always root my cutting in water, I had no idea I could plant them directly in soil 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have two huge 30 year old jade plants!

[mikehunt]

I water propagate jades. You need to regularly change the water, and a large root formation will form. Such a great way to start a plant with strong roots. I suggest having two or three nodes in water, with regular changes.

Very informative video from one succulent lover to another. Thank you! I wouldn't mind seeing more succulent cutting experiments in the future. I'm sure you'd gain a lot of traction with how cute succulents are to newcomer plant owners

[llavediez]

Short version: toss it outside and a year later you’ll have a full bush. There’s been one in my parents backyard for over 30 years and it gets so big we have to trim it every now and then

[ChrisSirico]

I find lava rock is a good substitute for perlite for both potting mixes and propagation where you need more weight to keep things in place (or if you're not a fan of the styrofoam look). It's heavier than perlite but holds water and air in similar proportions.

[kryspinkiedrowski]

You're sooo going to do an experiment with propagating callus vs fresh cut lol

[talesfromthehips]

Oops. I have a stem breakage that has been growing in water since 2016. Perhaps I’ll finally pot it now that I know what the plant is. 😂

[SeaSkyUniverse-Channel]

Great video! Really to the point! And I liked that the music was not too loud while you spoke.

[dancewithnash]

Great video and process! I also like fresh cut propagation, one thing that will keep bacteria out of the fresh cut is cinnamon! Not even joking. Just dip the tip like a rooting agent.

[TheWonderfield]

Really great experiment. Thanks for sharing. Hope they grow well for you. What did you wind up doing about the mealy bugs?

[grat]

I've never let my jade cuttings callous, just chucked them into the soil and they rooted just fine.

[SshhhTrouble]

I just cut a stem of a small jade that has no trunk yet. It’s just green. Will I still be able to prop it?

This is an excellent video that I just randomly chose to type in my first comment below . I concluded that hardwood cutting ( brown bark) can root in humid air . As in hypopontic misting containers . I think they are called coloring totes. .
I see you have course perlite which I don't have my perlite is Home Depot bought and out of a 2 cubic foot bag at least 1/3. Of the bag is perlite dust . Which doesn't drain well and leads to rotting . Of the hardwood cuttings sand may drain well but it still retains too much moisture that rots the cuttings.

Point of my sad story .based on this video I will concentrate on high humity air, rather than submersion of hardwood cuttings in water. But I will try both. . My experiment will be done with Mulberry and persimmon and wild grown cherry hard wood cutting. 3 fast growing trees

Can succulents propogated in water then be moved to soil as a its growing medium? Or succulents like echeverias die in this process?
Thank you for this beautiful idea of conducting this awesome experiment and sharing it with us.
