How to Propagate Jade

* Sharp knife or pruning shears

* A healthy jade plant (Crassula ovata)

* A pot filled with well-draining potting soil

* Water

Steps:

1. Choose a healthy jade plant that is not flowering.

2. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to take a cutting from the stem of the jade plant. The cutting should be about 4-6 inches long.

3. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting. This will help to prevent the cutting from rotting.

4. Dip the end of the cutting in rooting hormone. This will help to encourage the cutting to develop roots.

5. Plant the cutting in a pot filled with well-draining potting soil. Water the cutting well.

6. Place the pot in a warm, sunny location. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy.

7. In 4-6 weeks, the cutting should develop roots. Once the cutting has developed roots, you can begin to fertilize it.

8. Jade plants are easy to care for and can make a great addition to any home or office.
