Can Jade Plants be propagated by cuttings? How long does it take for Jade Plants to be transplanted?

1. Can it be propagated by cuttings?

It can be propagated by cuttings, which is also one of the commonly used propagation methods. The method is very simple and the survival rate is relatively high. However, you must pay attention to the time when planting. It is recommended to do it in spring and autumn. The climate in these two seasons is more suitable. The roots can take shape faster after planting, and it is also convenient to manage later.

2. How to take cuttings

1. Cuttings: Choose branches from healthy plants with leaves, 8-12 cm in length. Cut off the lower leaves and keep the upper ones. If conditions permit, you can apply rooting powder on the bottom of the removed cover to increase the survival rate.

2. Prepare the substrate: The substrate for cuttings must be breathable and water-permeable. You can mix it with river sand and garden soil, or you can use a pure sand bed.

3. Insert the cuttings into the soil: After preparing the substrate, you can insert the cuttings into it. Be careful not to bury it too deep in the soil, just about 1/3 of the branch will be enough. Water it in time after planting, and pay attention to heat preservation and moisture retention in the later stage, and the roots will grow in about half a month.

3. How long can I move the pot?

Seedlings propagated by cuttings should not be repotted too early, otherwise the roots will be too tender and the seedlings will be too weak, which may lead to death. It should not be too late, otherwise the substrate will lack nutrients and affect growth. It is recommended to repot after a few leaves have grown. At this time, the growth is basically stable, and the seedlings can adapt as soon as possible and resume growth after repotting.
