How long does it take for a jade plant to turn into a tree?
Compared to many other plants, the jade plant is quite a slow grower and it might take you some years to get it to the point where it resembles a small tree. As mentioned, the jade plant typically grows at a rate of about 5-20 cm per year.
Can you grow a jade plant from a cutting?
Jade plants can be propagated from stem or leaf cuttings. Keep in mind that it takes it takes a while to get a nice sized jade plant from leaf cuttings. So, if you want to get a head start, and don't want to wait so long, then I recommend propagating jade plant stem cuttings instead of the leaves.
Can you root a jade plant in water?
Can jade plants grow in water: jade plant can be propagated and grow in water either by the stem or leaf propagation. After the new plant develops roots in water it can grow and stay in water indefinitely or transferred to the soil. That said, let's dive into why you should try it.
How do you encourage branching in jade plants?
If you want your Jade Plant to branch out and develop lateral limbs, pinch it back, and give it plenty of sunlight, water, and nutrients. The best time to pinch back Jade Plant is in the early spring before new growth begins. Pinch or snip the tips of some of the branches back to the next healthy leaf node.
