Green jade trees are generally propagated through cuttings, and the time is chosen in the warm months of May to June. Choose a green jade tree that is in good growth condition, cut off thick and substantial branches from the top, cut 2 stem segments as cuttings, and put them aside to dry slightly. The soil for cuttings can be clean perlite or well-drained sandy loam. Dip the branches in some rooting powder, and then insert them into the soil at an angle. Pay attention to later maintenance.

1. Time selection

1. Time selection

Green jade trees are generally propagated through cuttings. This method is simple and easy to operate and has a high survival rate. It is most suitable to choose the warm months of May-June, when the climate is mild and stable at around 25 degrees Celsius, which is just conducive to rooting and is also helpful for later development.

2. Cut off cuttings

Choose For green jade trees that are in good growth condition, cut strong branches from above, preferably the top branches, so that they will grow better. Cut 2 stem segments as cuttings, about 8 cm in length. After cutting, the cuttings cannot be cut immediately. They need to be placed aside to dry slightly.

3. Preparing the soil quality

The soil quality for the cuttings should be well-drained. You can use clean perlite or well-drained sandy loam. Such soil will drain well and prevent moisture from accumulating in the soil. In flower pots, avoid using heavy and hardened substrates, otherwise rooting will be affected.

4. Make cuttings

Dip a little rooting powder into the branches, and then insert them into the soil at an angle. It does not need to be too deep. Appropriate spraying of water to moisturize can promote rooting.

5. Maintenance and management

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