Are there any roots?

Those two don't,just little sprouts. But these ones do

I wouldnt spray the soil that often if any at all. Too much water will make them rot. Right now they are getting what they need from the parent leaf. You will hear ALOT of opinions on this one. I keep mine griwing on dry medium. Ill post pics tomorrow just how big and how many roots they already have. In my experience keeping them dry stimulates them form roots faster so theyll "SEARCH" for water

I wouldn't keep the soil wet either. I keep them on top of mix and when original leaves dry out, usually sprinkle a very thin layer of perlite and/or turface over them. Often, the roots 'find' their way into the mix. I pot them into individual pots when bigger. Many of my leaves start growing roots just laying on any surface (no soil) and without any misting.

(I am still having problems with posting photos - anybody else?)

Like Rina, most of my leaves just root wherever I put them, or wherever they fall off sometimes. I give them no special treatment. And when they have sufficient roots I just place them on top of the potting medium. They take it from there.

These leaves are a bit special...from my Maruba Jade cutting.

Thank you all for the help,,I shall use your advice and hopefully I'll end up with many more plants (like I don't have enough already;) .....figured I'd show the jades I have now. Just repotted the big one and had to move it to a new spot, my question: is that new growth on top? Or lack of light in its new spot? I think I need additional lighting since the tree outside hogs all the light....thank you all again,I don't want to be a pest I just have many a question...enjoy your sunday

mr.white

Nice jade! It looks like new growth, slightly etoliated. The color is very nice too. If you can get it some more light, the sets of leaves will be closer together.

All your plants look very nice. Cactus soil + perlite is much better than without. Personally, I find jades can take more than some other succulents, so there shouldn't be problem re-potting again. At this point - if they were my plants - I would try to get more sunlight somehow.

Are there drainage holes? (asking since I don't think you would let them sit directly on the furniture of wood floor...or is that for photo-op only :)

Christopher

Nice new growth on those leaves, hope they grow well for you into new plants - I guess that is another of the special - hard to get jades. Pls. keep posting, really would like to see their progress.

Rina

Mr.white, might consider moving the Jades to brighter light, and giving the biggest one a trim...If it were mine I might remove all the etoliated new growth for a better look, but that is a personal choice. But only trim it if you can give it brighter light, or else the new growth will come in etiolated again.

Rina, thanks for the nice comments on the Maruba leaves. The cutting itself is growing, but I just moved it directly by the window to hopefully get more variegation. I did not want to put the cutting into too bright a location before it had rooted. When there is progress, I will post some photos.

Christopher

Thank you! thank you! After seeing some of yours and others posted I was shy to share ha. He was um,"frosted" by the birds at home depot, figured no one would buy him so I did. I seem to buy the less than perfect ones. Better my house than the dumpster... I going to build a new shelf to fit them all and hopefully get better light,if not I'll have to find some lights ( thoughts?)

There is a hole at the bottom covered with screen with about an inch of rocks at the bottom and it has a tray. I just had them on the table for the pic, that's where my philo lives normally. The pot itself has been waiting for the right plant for 2 years,thought it perfect for the Jade. It turns a nice sage ish green when you water and turns back to whitish as it dries.also has a nice earthy type smell to it when wet.. Yup, I'm an odd one;)

Ty Christopher, trying to work on the light,I'll hold off on antpy trimming until I get it straightened out,also I love how red the underside of the new leaves are

I'll join Rina and Christopher,i have some laying here on my desk right now that are rooting,i just have them in a lid.

Rina, I too am still having problems posting. I have to try a few times b4 something finally loads. And MrWhite, sorry but i firgot to take my pics of my rooting leaves. Its dark now, hopefully tomorrow, i will remember, but i think Rina, and Christopher covered it for ya ;)
