Hi everyone! Can anyone help guide me on what I need to do in order to grow my jade tree? I was given a pretty good sized piece of a friends jade tree, and she told me if I soaked it in water until it sprouted roots I could plant it and it would grow... Is this right? How long should I soak it in water? How often should I change the water? Do I need to let the plant get sunlight? I've never had a plant in my life...my husband tells me I can't grow it and so I want to prove him wrong!! Any help or advice is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you :)
Have a look at my reply to this question in the thread A couple of qestions | UBC Botanical Garden Forums.
Thanks so much! A couple more questions: How do I know the wound is dry? And as soon as it's dry, then I plant it? Or do I wait for it to grow roots first? And what do I plant it in, potting soil? Sorry for so many questions! Thank you very much!
Through visual and/or tactual inspection. The wound will form a callous. Either way. Potting soil will be fine as long as it's porous but I'm sure expert growers will have more specific recommendations.
