A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Cacti and Succulents Indoors Jade leaf propgation

Hello!
I have a few leaves from a jade plant that have been resting on soil for a few weeks now and one of them is turning brown and shriveling on the end that was attached to the host plant. I know it takes some time for the roots but the only change I've seen is the leaves look like they are drying because they aren't as plump. I've already lost one leaf because of a disease (it was turning brown and had shiny spots) but it wasn't in the same pot as the other ones. Is it normal for the one leaf to look shriveled? The other two I have are just brown on the one end.

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum. I've never tried rooting jad from a single leaf. When a branch breaks off, I stick it in water for a while and the branch part will start putting out new roots. Once there's enough roots I put that to soil, I've done it several time this way and always had success.
