When is the best time to take cuttings of Jade Leaf?

Jade leaf cutting time

Jade Plant can be propagated by cuttings all year round, and the conditions for propagation do not require complicated steps. It is recommended to do it in spring and autumn. The climate is relatively mild during these two periods, the rooting speed is very fast, and the survival rate will also be higher. If the cuttings are carried out in June-August, the surrounding temperature needs to be lowered by spraying water. Cuttings need to be taken indoors in winter so that there is a chance of survival.

After the Jade Plant is grafted, the later culture soil should be mixed with leaf mold and garden soil in a ratio of about 2:1. This is to increase nutrients and promote growth.
