I think you mean Portulacaria.

Yes, this one doesn't want damp soil to root on - remember it's not in the Crassulaceae, like your jade is).

Cut it, dust with rooting hormone, set aside for a few days, plant in dry soil, and mist only until you see new growth (likely in the spring).

Hey, Andrew!

The variegated Port. afra is a bit slower growing than the standard green variety, but it should root for you.
It'll look a lot worse before it starts to plump back up, however...

Mine lose a lot of leaves during the winter.

Thanks guys I will take your advise.

Josh good to hear from you. I have some pics I need to emai ya. It is a lot easier for me to do that than to try and post them all. I need to learn how to post multiple pictures.

HI Andrew,
It's pretty easy to post the pics.
You need to copy the html, and paste it in this area.
Then just space it a line and paste the next one.

When you look at the preview it will show your pics, if not, something went wrong.

I hope this makes sense.
