Jade Propagation etc.

16 years ago

Hello all,

I've spent a few hours on this site, specifically the cacti and succulent section, and I'm really excited to see all the jade enthusiasts out there. They are wonderful plants and mine have a long time to go (and I have a lot to learn) before they start looking like some of the ones on this site.

My question regarding propagation is in relation to something I read on the internet. I have what I believe is an African Jade (the greenhouse labels it simply crassula), and I trimmed a couple of branches off one. Not realizing the importance of soil (doh, I'm still new to this), I put them in a pot with some regular potting soil. I also placed a plastic bag over the pot - according to the directions it should help the plant root faster. Am I doomed because of the regular potting soil I used? Also, does anyone else do the plastic bag thing? Part of me thinks I might suffocate the plant - I didn't see any suggestions along those lines on this site.

Thanks in advance for the advice. The jade pics I've seen on this site are truly an inspiration.

Jose
