Do you guys know how to cut off and propagate a elephant bush plant? Mines getting a little of out of control and I want to propagate it and see a new elephant bush plant grow 😄

I’m afraid that’s not a jade plant 😬it’s an elephant bush.

Oh thanks for informing me!

Sure it’s a beautiful elephant plant though!!

I had the same thing happening to me before. I just put the cuttings in water and saw roots coming out after some days. You might need a lot of patience and change the water every week 😊  
It was my first time doing it and was so happy to see that all my efforts was not in vain!

They propagate SO easy. Just snip and stick in water! I have a bunch in jars on my table as a center piece.

I have one that’s 20yrs old and beginning to fail so I’m happy to see maybe I can propagate it! Thanks!!
