Cutting propagation method of Jade Milk Column

Choose a well-drained culture soil, and wait until the wound of the Jade Milk Pillow cuttings is dry, then you can directly insert it into the culture soil within 3-5 days. If the cuttings are too long, they should be fixed with a support to promote rooting. If you do not do direct cuttings, you can also place the cut stem segments in a cool place. Roots will grow at the wound in about 21-28 days, and then you can plant them in pots.

The Jade Column does not require special moisturizing when it is cut. The medium should be kept moist in the early stage of cutting. After the cuttings take root, they can be moved to a ventilated place and half-sun or full-sun place for cultivation.
