I had a green stalked cutting root in maybe a month or two. In my window sill , kinda pointed to the soil, and we are full winter weather right now. I was kind of surprised actually. I gave it no water until I knew it had a hold.

Depends on the size of the cutting and the conditions where it's rooting. Could be 2 weeks or 2 months.

Thank you all for your answers :) These are about 1/4" to 1/2" diameter cuttings and are about 6-8" long. Going to keep a close eye on them and hope they don't rot in the humidity before they root. Thanks again for the information!

Have you ever tried keeping them out of the soil? - if you are concerned with them rotting - they will grow roots anyway. They will be alive for months without being potted. They are usually easiest plants to root.

Nicholas - do you have the plants inside? Since we are having cold nights again, I assume you have brought them in, or at least will be doing so for the next several nights? That should control the humidity and temp for you.

I like to root mine on the lanai. The deck gets warm and helps from the bottom. They root well in 2-4 weeks. I've rooted some branches about the diameter of a quarter - a wind induced pruning! They took about 6 weeks. Of course, that was with warmer temperatures than we have right now.

These Crosby's Compact clippings were on my outdoor island from Nov thru Jan this year. After 2 months they had plenty of roots on the back side. Just think how they might have done if I had potted them up!

Good idea Rina and Crenda. Maybe I'll pull them out and set them somewhere in the house. I've had leaves of other species grow roots in a glass bowl by accident but didn't know i could do this with broken Jade stems as well.

Crenda, I've been really bad about the weather lately. I've brought some of the more tender succulents into the garage but some of the heavier ones and less tender I left outside because I hurt my back last time I was dragging them all around. They all look great even after the low 40's last night. Though I got really lucky because about 2 mi more inland they had a decent bit of frost last night. The only thing that saved me is that I'm surrounded by the beach a few miles away on one side and the harbor on the other.

Speaking of the water, are you all getting the red tide down there as well?

My Jade, along with the cuttings, are actually in my carport which is a little insulated by a thick covering of Passiflora incarnata. Your cuttings however look great and give me hope that mine will root as well. I wonder if a heating mat might be a good idea.

Nicholas, gave to cutting the roots quickly and confidently, they must be rooted in damp sand clean. Preparation: Take a clean dry sand and place in a bowl, pour a little water and mix well hands to the sand turned out crumbly, moderate humidity. Ready to put the sand in a small cup without drainage holes (I put in a small cup)

Sand lightly mash, but not too much to keep it loose. The upper layer (5 mm) to moisturize from the sprayer about a day, as the drying. After 2 weeks, the roots are guaranteed to appear, and after another 2 weeks will be planted in a permanent pot.
