How do you take cuttings off of a Jade plant?
Jade is one the easiest succulents to take cuttings from. Even accidentally broken pieces will root themselves. I would worry more about the the main plant and where you might leave "bald" spots then where to take the cuttings themselves from.





This is a fun plant to do this to. It's so easy. Have fun with it!

Reply:i have many house plants i have found that if you break a leaf off and put it in moist dirt it will root
Reply:Jade plants are easy. Just break off a piece and plant it.
Reply:Use a pair of clean pruning shears/scissors and take a 4-5 inch piece off a branch. You can then put directly in the soil. Keep damp but not over watered and it should grow pretty easily. YOu might also consider using some "rooting Hormone". DO NOT dunk your cutting directly into the container. It can spread diseases and viruses....
Reply:Jade plants are miraculous. You can snap off anywhere, stick it in soil, and it will grow.





Select a nicely-shaped section, as it will be the base for the plant.
Reply:I have to say, I am in the floral industry, and you have no wrong answers so far! I do stick them right under the mother plant in the same pot.


That is not Scientific, but my Italian Grandfathers superstition that they grow better close to the mother plant!
Reply:It's been a while but I think you just break it off at the "joint" and put that part into water......just the broken part and it'll root. To be sure just phone a local green house
Reply:You can take any of the single lobes/leaves off the plant and stick them directly into your potting medium about half-way. They should grow roots and become baby jade plants in a couple of months. Very easy to propogate.
