Can someone give me some pointers to protect \& grow this (what I think) is a variegated Jade. 🌱🥹 just received today.  
it’s been on my wishlist…\& a vendor sent me a clipping.  
What a sweet surprise 🖤  
(Ft.my echeveria \& my moon valley Saylor!!!)  
TIA

Don’t keep it in water - I think it’ll just rot in there. You can pot it up with a chunky succulent soil mix into a small succulent pot (like 2-3 in) since your plant is tiny. I like terracotta for my succulents but you can use any pot with a drainage hole. Water when the soil is bone dry and the leaves seem a little less taut. Good luck!
