I popped 2 single jade leaves on some soil 6 months ago and now have 2 tiny little adorable plants, one with 12 leaves and one with 14. Yes it takes ages but like you, Richard, I find it SO rewarding! 😊🌱

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great stuff 👍

[@ooopticnerveee]

I think that's actually amazing progress for 6 months 😂 I'm 3 months in with a different leaf prop and it's barely a tiny baby at the end of the leaf.

Your original jade plant videos are how I found you. I’ve been hooked ever since!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@1ZZFE]

You made this sound so easy, but i rarely find any success in tropical humid place here.

[@clovelyn58]

Just the other day I found 2 leaves of my jade plant that had fallen off at some point on my balcony and both were actually growing a new plant without my knowing right there on the cold floor :O feeding on nothing but the leaf itself... I put them on soil right away but I was genuinely surprised at how sturdy they are

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

That’s great

[@djnick59]

I just did 5 leaves for a friend, hoping they all root. I waited 3 days, and they had callused over, so, I put all in a shallow plastic container, spritzed them gently with a water spray, and hope for the best! I appreciate your postings!! Love your humor too.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thank you 😊

I learn so much from you and you crack me up. What I would pay to see the behind the scenes of some of those clips 😂

[@jamesa7506]

A lot of succulents propagate this way! One of the reasons they're my favorite plant types. Another trick is to prune the your jade "mother" into a conical shape when you do prune. It'll begin to take on the looks of a tree and pretty soon you'll have yourself a jade bonsai! 👍

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for the tip

[@pavel_s-z]

For a beginners I recommend just to put the leafs into the tray with a paper towel in it. A lot of light. No moisting, no weathering. After about three weeks they will develop an aerial roots. After that, you can safely plant them into the soil mix.

[@francisbedard8931]

Youre saying no water on the paper towel? No water at all? It will develop Arial roots that way?

[@pavel_s-z]

@@francisbedard8931 yes, sir. If you don't believe, use just two strong leafs for this propagation method and put the rest straight into the soil. I'd like to show you a picture of my actual airial propagation, but I can't here

[@melfuz]

I love growing jade babies! These are so much fun 😄 I usually just put a few broken leaves on top of the soil in plants I am already growing. I use no rooting hormone, nothing except love and expectation, then voila! New life! I think I'll leave God to being God though 🤭 I'm trying to give them away as my house will be taken over by Jade plants if I'm not careful 🫣 As always, great content...thank you! 🌱🪴

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

That’s great! Thanks

[@lmackenzie89]

I like to think the light misting/slight dampness simulates the morning dew in a desert environment

[@calico_mojo]

Thanks for the suggestion to pop the plate in a bag! I dropped my very happy, purple jade recently and knocked off close to 100 leaves. I've had them on a soil plate since then, but they aren't rooting. I suspect my house is too cold. I'm now trying the Ziploc greenhouse trick and hopefully it works!🤞

I'm absolutely going to steal... uh, I mean acquire some leaves from my sister's jade plant this Christmas 😂 I really liked the look of your saucer with the circle of jade leaves you showed a while ago, I Can't remember if it was here or on Patreon Thank you for the video 👍🏻

[@waskelweewabbit1453]

Last year, at this time, I saw a piece of Christmas cactus on the floor of the grocery store. It looked like a tiny "Y". Today it's about 10 inches tall in a pot of 5 stems.

@@waskelweewabbit1453 💚🪴 Patience and time are part of the challenge with plants, I love and hate this... I enjoy watching my bird of pararadise slowly growing from the seed I sowed about two years ago, tho it would've been so much easier to have bought a young and growing one instead. There's something satisfyingly special about growing plants from seeds or cuttings

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Might have been both 😁

[@DragoniteSpam]

"at least ten" instructions unclear, i have like thirty of these things now and one of the mother plants is looking like it wants another pruning soon

[@marylrobinson6099]

👍🏽💚 I’ve started many from leaves. I also found that if one leaf dropped on the counter or windowsill it will root by air if left undisturbed.

Great isn’t it

[@childoftheuniverse7318]

Ok this is so cool

[@jodyweima606]

Hmm.. every time I do this it doesn't work (in the past). They would dry up before rooting. I'll take your tips and try again! 🤞

I just did this with the bottom row of leaves on my blue succulent yesterday. I placed my variegated jade under a grow light a month ago and it's doing great now. I'll send you a piece in spring, when the weather is suitable for mailing a plant. Hey! If I have an original idea for a video, where can I send it to you? I just successfully did something I've never seen anyone on KZbin do a video about.

Excellent I'm on the case❤

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great stuff 👍

[@painetdldy]

You absolutely kill me 😆

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

😂

[@Aw_tig]

You can do leaf propagation the same as this with pretty much all succulents, you just have to make sure you have a healthy leaf, sometimes twisting them a bit help them come off the stem without damaging the leaf. Jade is probably the easiest, I found some others will start to rot if they are sat on damp soil tho, so keep it dry if you have that issue, they can grow without any moisture as they will use all the moisture from the parent leaf to start growing 😊

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Cheers!

[@faithcomesbyhearing724]

Great idea. Im not ready to take any leaves off MY LITTLE JADE YET. ITS LOOKING SO GOOD. AT SOME POINT I WILL GIVE IT A TRY. Have a blessed day.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

No harm in waiting 😁

[@fnyjortso]

So I'm about to reveal some good news... You actually should place your Jade in direct sunlight. It loves the sun if you don't let the soil dry up too much. It will get more red, especially around the edges, which might make you think you've burnt it. But it's actually the only way you are ever going to see a Jade flower. I still havent seen it but my plant is still young...because I ruined the motherplant through years of mistreatment. 😅 I really enjoy the redness though; it gives life to the plant. I've only seen pictures of it flowering but its adorable!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Good shout. I like the red edges too

[@emmalemmadingdong69]

I had a few leaves from my jade get accidently knocked off so I always stick them back into the pot to get new growth from 😊 Although I've noticed the plant seems to naturally split, so is it necessary to prune it or is it a matter of preference for how bushy you want your plant? I don't have a great deal of space so tend to like my plants to grow up instead of out 😅

[@clovelyn58]

I have a quite big old jade and I regret not prunning enough because the stems now are pretty tall and its so heavy it can't stand its own weight and it bends downwards, it doesn't look very nice It does split naturally so you don't have to prune if you don't want to but you might end up with a messy plant like mine lol

[@bobbiechinn9578]

It's a matter of what you want to do. You don't have to. If it ends up top heavy you can trim it then but that doesn't always happen.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

I like to trim regularly but it’s up to you

[@echognomecal6742]

Coincidentally, I just put a couple of leaves from a succulent onto the soil. It's on the windowsill next to the shower. The original plant has needed very little water, the moisture in the air seems to generally be enough. We'll see.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Should work 👍

[@ravertaking6343]

I had asked you if you have purple passion plants. I just now realized there are a few plants called that. This is the one I'm talking about, Gynura aurantiaca. Check it out. BTW loving your weekly emails. Learning so much.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great thanks! Never had that plant. To be honest it doesn’t tickle my fancy much

[@ravertaking6343]

@@SheffieldMadePlants Mrs. Sheffield might like one.

[@rahulcornelius1509]

Does it really work? Providing humidity to it? I am a professional grower and don’t provide them humidity by covering with a plastic film.

[@bobbiechinn9578]

Most succulents will prop this way. Some faster than others. Aeoniums are difficult to get them to do it tho but still possible.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Sure 👌

[@natasa378]

Dear Richard, what about the leaves coming out from the base of the main stem? I guess we cut them off but I thought I should ask the expert 😉

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Doesn’t really matter either way. Can smarten it up though

[@lawra89]

I think of them as a little fairy village. 😂 I've had luck with jade and gollum jade, however bear paw jade I haven't had any luck with. It's unfortunate because it's a very fragile plant that I often break leaves off unintentionally while handling it. 😐It's so darn cute though.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Not tried that one yet

It's so cute.. they are look like the classic jade, except they are fuzzy and have claws. They enjoy being pruned and do well propagating from cuttings. @@SheffieldMadePlants

I stuck a leaf in some soil 8 months ago but I actually pushed the broken end into the soil I didn't lie it on top.
