A tip from our Plant Doctor, Dr. Robby Flannery: Jade plants, like many succulents, can easily be propagated from cuttings. They can be put directly in soil, but I would allow them to callous over first. Place the excised leaf or stem of the Jade plant in a cool, fairly dark, dry area for a couple of days. This will allow the wound to callous and therefore be more resistant to microbial infection. Once the wound has calloused over, place it in some soil so that the wound is completely covered by the soil and unexposed to light. The cutting should root at this point. Keep the soil moist, but never let it get completely soaked.
