When rooting a Jade cutting (stem or leaf), what is the best rooting medium and should it be completely dry?
bradley L asked:
I took two cuttings (around july 10th or so) from a 6 year old jade plant that is doing well and dipped them in rooting hormone and left them out to callous for three or four days. Then I placed them into a Cactus and Soil mix directly out of the bag and placed in a bright but sun-less window. Two weeks in I sprayed the top of the soil a few times of each one and one of them rotted from the cut on up within a week. The other one has been in the soil for over a month now and no sign of roots, meanwhile the cutting is slowly shriveling up. I feel like it needs a small amount of moisture, but I am afraid it will rot. any ideas? I really want this cutting to survive as it has a striking stem and branch shape.
will the plant be able to absorb any water with no (visible) roots?

can I pot baby jade plant with other succulents?
Namom asked:
I was just given a baby jade plant. I would liketo put it in larger plant with another succulent (aloe, cacti,). I’ve never cared for succulents so don’t know what wouls be a “good mix.” Also want to cover with decorative pebbles if possible. Any info, picutures, links would be great!

Ivy P asked:
I just bought a handsome new jade plant. It’s big, beautiful and lives indoors. Any tips for taking care of a well-established jade? Thanks Lil Kittens!

What are those seed-like things around the roots of my jade plant?
wondering asked:
Are they seeds? I just bought the plant and tried repotting it today, and noticed many small clusters of what look like seeds. My other jade plant didn’t have these. They’re a little smaller than the size of a pencil eraser. I read somewhere jade seeds are very fine and look like dust. (definitely not what this looks like) What is it? And should I try and remove all of them from the roots? (The plant is not doing too well, and I’m wondering if these things are partially to blame.)

animalcrackers31 asked:
I have a huge tree like jade plant that needs transplanted. It was a prize and when I watered it, these green toadstool like things started sprouting up through the dirt. Can someone advise on how to take care of plant, transplant and keep it bug free?
