How to plant Rainbow Jade Leaf

Cutting method

Pinch the leaves

Pinch off a few leaves from a healthy mother plant, or cut them off with a knife to minimize wounds.

Cuttings

Place the leaves in a cool place for a while to dry the wounds, then lay them flat on the soil.

root

It will take about 10 days to take root. After the roots emerge, bury them in the soil to prevent them from drying out, and water them to keep them moist. New leaves grow rapidly in spring, and significant changes can be seen in just one week.

Precautions

Sunbathing

When seedlings grow out of the leaves, they can be placed in a place with scattered light and exposed to the sun. Otherwise, the seedlings will easily grow too tall, and they will start to grow too tall from the moment they sprout. Then the cuttings of rainbow jade may not seem to be so successful.

Removal of the mother lobe

In the early stage, the seedlings of Rainbow Jade cuttings rely on the nutrients of the mother plant for growth. In the later stage, the mother plant will wilt or even become waterlogged due to the depletion of nutrients. The mother plant must be removed in time. After removing the mother plant, water it appropriately to promote the growth of the seedlings.
