I believe that this a Jade Plant that I got from one of my friends, it's a cutting. Do you have ant tips on propagating this? P. S I have this too.

that is a jade! they are succulents and do very poorly in water. cut off that browning bit, let it dry out for a day or two, and stick it in dry soil. it'll take about 2 wks for it to start putting out roots, and you can water it then. the second one is tradescantia zebrina :-)

Thanks

If you want roots quickly, get a small air raider for a fish tank and put that in with your cutting so that it puts oxygen into your water and root to sprout within a day or two

I usually just stick mine straight into soil

The one with the purple areas on the leaves is a silver inch plant I believe
