It can be propagated by dividing rhizomes or with leaf cuttings. Leaf cuttings should be placed in a pot. Wait for roots to begin growing, which could take up to a year. Use a rooting hormone on the root cutting and keep roots dry to make the roots grow faster. Remove a leaf or take a stem cutting from a well-established plant. An ideal stem cuttingwould be 2-3 inches in length and should haveonly a few leaves. Gather your pot and a well­ draining potting mix. Use soil that is slightly moist, but not wet. Take the leaf and lay it on top of the soil horizontally, covering the cut end with some of the soil. After planting a jade plant, don't water it right away. Wait around a week before watering.This is to let the roots settle and recover from any damage.
