# I want a few leaves from my jade plant to propagate in another pot…

_Lagt ut av Angel den 2023-07-29_

I want a few leaves from my jade plant to propagate in another pot (none have fallen off for a while) but the bottom 4 big ones are dropping a lot. Could I pull or cut them off ? Or should I just wait?

you’ll be fine breaking them off by gently twisting it or bending it until it snaps off, making sure it breaks as close to the stem as possible (the leaf won’t grow back so choose carefully). then keep it dry and leave it to callus over for a couple of days (like a scab), then it’ll be good to propagate however you choose :) make sure to be extra careful not to over or under water it until it’s big enough to cope. hope this helps :)

Cut them to be honest by the time they drop they could be unhealthy.

I wouldn’t cut them but you can pull them off and it shouldn’t be a problem.
