Does anyone know why propagating tricolor leaves are growing just regulare leaves?

All plants generally lose their variegation patterns if they don’t get enough sun. Could be the case here. Though some plants won’t transfer the patterns if they’re not propagated a specific way. Not sure if this is one of them. I’d say be sure to give them full sun, see what happens.

Correct! Sorry to say it is possible the variegation won’t transfer onto the new jades, but I’m happy to report they look like they’re propagating very nicely! You should have quite a few adorable baby jades in a few months.
