experimented with jade leaves...

17 years ago

Hi all...ever since mike made his generous offer of jade leaves...and everyone telling how to start just a leaf..I took evryones advice...

(I tryed to look at mike's first thread but I can't find it I wanted the date he posted it, thats when I started this..)

anyway...I pluck a bunch of leaves off my big green jade and I did just as others said they did...

I put one on the window sill south and north, in other plants with different watering habits, took 2 trays of soil and laid leaves on one dry and one damp, just on the table between the plants, on a shelf in my kitchen no light from outside, and just put some in a cup on the back of the kitchen counter...

well, I am here to say....they all grew roots and a little plant, except for the one in the north window, I am guessing to cold, Minnesota you know, and a few in the trays of soil, so thoses little guys like to grow...

when I got my cutting from mike I just put it in a pot of well draining soil mix,, I think I got it on the 8 of oct.

and left it alone..until last week when I tugged on it,sorry, and seen that the leaves had grown..and know I have watered it and the leaves are larger and its growing great....I just thought I would try everyone's suggestion and thought I would tell you all how they all worked...

ps....it was fun and now I will have a forest of jade plants...
