How to Propagate Crassula arborescens undulatifolia “Ripple Jade”
Crassula arborescens undulatifolia “Ripple Jade” can be propagated from leaves or offsets.
Leaves
When taking a leaf for propagation, gently twist the leaf from the stem. Be sure that the leaf you get is a “clean pull,” where no part of the leaf is left on the stem. This will give you a better chance of a successful propagation.
Allow the leaf to callous over for a day or two before placing it on well-draining soil.
Offsets
“Ripple Jade” will produce small rosette offsets. Cut the offsets off from the main stem with a sharp, sterile knife or scissors. Allow the offsets to dry for one to two days before laying on well-draining soil.
