How to Propagate Jade PlantsJade plants are succulent stunners, sporting thick, round, deep green jewels for leaves.
Described botanically as Crassula ovata, this species is also known as the money plant.
Now, money doesn’t grow on trees, but if money did grow on C. ovata, you’d be hitting the jackpot by reading this article.

Not only is jade easy to propagate, each specimen has massive potential since all it takes is one leaf to start a new plant.
Enough talk, time is… more money plants! Let’s get into how to propagate these beauties. Here’s everything we’ll cover up ahead:
What You NeedStart with a healthy mother plant. Jade plants that are getting enough light and are happy will have luscious green foliage tinged with a deep rose on the edges.
Avoid specimens or leaves with spots or that show any signs of insect infestation or disease, as well as stems with flowers.
Rooting will happen the fastest during the summer, when jade is actively growing. But you can successfully propagate jade at any time of year.
All you need to turn one specimen into a dozen – if you want to! – is a small pot or two with good drainage, some well-draining rooting material such as a coarse sand or an equal mix of sand and peat moss, and a little water.
Plus, you might need a sanitized knife if you’re taking stem cuttings.
That’s it.
You don’t need a special environment, or any special tools. It’s as easy as snapping your fingers. Or rather, snapping a leaf.
How to PropagateJade plants are really easy to propagate via stem or leaf cuttings.
In fact, in the wild, leaves that break off and land on the ground will root themselves in a few weeks
