Is this a Jade plant?

#### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-05-08

Yes, it’s a cutting I took from my mother’s 50+ year old Jade.

### Pthomas commented on 2026-05-09

I want to do some cuttings from my Jade plant.

I was surprised how simple it was really! Snip, wait for it to callous, then stick in good soil! 😊

### Pthomas commented on 2026-05-09

I usually put mine in water and let it grow roots. I’ll have to give this way a try.

I’d like to try your way next!
