    In my experience, as easily as regular jades can be propagated from a leaf, these variegated jades do NOT seem to take off. That in mind, I’d pluck off the bottom most leaves. If it’s already callused over, you can plant the stem directly in GRITTY, well draining succulent friendly substrate. Not a lot of organic soil in the mix. These also need more light than you think and less water than you’d think. Good luck!

      Also wait a week or two before watering post repot. Has helped me prevent rot while waiting for them to root.

    Just set the leaves on top of some gritty soil I've had good luck with mine
