Jade cutting method

1. Time requirements

Timing is very important. It is best to choose summer, which is a period of high humidity and does not require spraying too much water, which is conducive to rooting of cuttings. Other times are also possible, but the temperature must be kept good. In cold winter, it is best to do it indoors.

2. Cutting Objects

1. Branches: The branches should be cut from plants in good growth condition, and should be as strong and full as possible. The upper leaves should be retained and the lower leaves can be removed. The length should be about 5 cm. This will not cause rot and will be conducive to later rooting.

2. Leaves: Cut dark green leaves that are full and preferably have petioles, about 1-2 cm. After picking the leaves, place them in a cool place to dry, and keep the cut parts dry.

3. Prepare the matrix

You can choose a substrate that is breathable and well-drained so that water will not accumulate. You can use pure vermiculite or perlite, which must be disinfected before use.

4. Take cuttings

Insert the branches into the prepared sand bed, or place the leaves flat on it, spray water on them to keep them moist, and ensure good surrounding temperature and humidity. It will take a few weeks for the plant to take root, and when it has a few leaves, it can be planted in a pot.
