Just heard about stress watering. I’d like to thicken the trunk of my Jade cutting, Nova. Are there any tips on this or any other methods that may help!?

🪴 Botanical Bekka🌵To manage water stress in Jade cuttings, let the cut ends callous for a few days before planting to prevent rot. Use a gritty, well-draining succulent mix and wait until you see new growth or roots before providing a full watering. Key Tips for Success Avoid overwatering: Only mist the surface or provide a small amount of water every 1–2 weeks; the cutting relies on its stored moisture until roots form. Watch for shriveling: Slight wrinkling is normal as the cutting uses its energy to root, but extreme shriveling means it needs a light drink. Light requirements: Keep cuttings in bright, indirect light rather than direct sun to prevent them from drying out too quickly before they can drink. Temperature: Maintain a steady environment around 65°F to 75°F to encourage faster root development.

Nova has apparently rooted…new growth (even a new branch started)! I’m looking to thicken her trunk. My Alexa recommended stress watering…letting it dry completely between watering. (Every 2-3 weeks in this season) and that should help.
