Jade trunk cutting

2 months ago

I have this two large trunks of jade. Hoping to get them to root to turn them into plants.
I allow both of them to callus for about 5 days then put them lightly over soil, just sitting over soil. Today, few days later I lift to check and noticed what appears to be mold. So I cut them again. From these pics do you believe the plant is sick and rotting throughout? Any recommendations? I just cut them again few moments ago.

On a big cut like those I would think a month or more.

That is not long enough for them to form a true callus. You risk rotting them if you don’t allow it to form.

How long is good? More than 5 days?

yeah, longer ... turmeric would work too ... given the cinnamon debacle [contains lead]

After it is dried a bit and an application of cinnamon, I put on a coating of Wood glue and let that dry well to seal the cut for my Plumerias and they do wonderfully rooting..
