# Hi! I need any and all propogating tips! I just got these varigated…

_Posted by bea 🌱 on 2026-04-19_

Hi! I need any and all propogating tips! I just got these varigated jade pieces (ignore the snake plant pup) and I want to try and prop them! I started propogating the two non-varigated plants a month ago and they just won’t root! I’m not sure what to do! Thank you.

I’m trying Jade leaf propagation with a few. Not sure how successful I’ll be…about a month in, they are still plump and green, but I don’t know if roots are started…?

I put my jade in water two days ago and they are already starting to grow roots! I put some press n seal over a little mason jar with some water in it. Then I poked some holes in the press n seal and made sure the bottoms of the leafs or the plant are in the water!

Ya like my hostess cupcake propagation setup up there!? 🤪 😂

I might just have to try this!

#### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-04-20

I just cut some drainage holes in the bottom, and BOOM!

This is what I ended up with!

Sometimes you can propagate those even though they’re succulent in water, and if you get a cheap fish tank aerator and put that in the water and create oxygen in the water you’ll root even faster

I just lay them on top of the soil and they root very well. I love your idea though.. ingenious 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
