Found this little guy, with some little roots, hanging out next to my Mom’s Jade…we’ll see if he likes me (don’t know his name just yet) any suggestions?

I would plant it so all the rings on the stem are under soil (basically to the base of the first leaf). Those rings are where it will produce roots from, so the more rings the better chance of a good root system.
