How to propagate green jade tree

1. Time Selection

Green jade tree is generally propagated by cuttings. This method is simple and easy to operate with a high survival rate. The best time to choose is the warm months of May and June, when the climate is mild and can stabilize at around 25 degrees Celsius, which is just conducive to rooting and also helps with later development.

2. Cut off the cuttings

Choose a jade tree that is in good growth condition and cut strong branches from it, especially the top branches, as they will have better growth potential. Cut 2 stem segments as cuttings, about 8 cm in length. After cutting, you cannot use it for cuttings immediately. You need to put it aside to dry slightly.

3. Prepare the soil

The soil for cuttings should have good drainage. You can use clean perlite or sandy loam with good drainage. Such soil has good drainage and will not accumulate water in the pot. Avoid using heavy and compacted substrates, otherwise it will affect rooting.

4. Take cuttings

Dip the branches in a little rooting powder, then insert them into the soil at an angle. It doesn't need to be too deep. Spraying water appropriately to keep it moist can promote rooting.

5. Maintenance and management

Maintain the surrounding temperature at around 15-20 degrees Celsius, spray water appropriately to maintain a certain humidity, and place it in a diffuse light environment to promote rooting.
