Jade plant cutting

Post by Spotcold2 »

I plucked a jade plant leaf about two weeks ago... Instead of growing roots, it grew what looks like a mini/ baby plant.... How to I repot this? Will real roots form?

I took a leaf and placed it on top of some soil mix and place it in a baggie. Forgot about it for some time and now it is growing strong. Don't worry, roots will come. :)

U placed it on top? So u didn't cover any of it with dirt.. U just kinda dropped it on top? Will the roots dig themselves down?
