Rooting jade cuttings

[Arizona bonsai]

My jade was getting too tall so I now have many cuttings to root. Anyone have opinions on how to root them & how to care for the tree that was chopped?

For cuttings, you wait until the cut edge dries, then you stick it in your succulent mix and they should root with no special care needed. I had these in landscape in SoCal and every now and then I would brush past them (they were easily 3' tall) and some branches would break off, fall on the ground, and root - with no care, no burying, and no rain.

Your mother tree doesn't need any special care - it should push new buds.

Don't forget - these are succulents and thrive on direct sun and heat. Do not allow them to stay wet. Keep them in full sun always. Water only when the soil is bone dry.

Let dry - pot - good to go - These grow where its stupid hot and dry so keep that in mind

I found rot in the mother plant. I kept cutting until it was removed. Here is what I could salvage. Let them dry & then apply
rooting hormone in damp bonsai soil, no water until I see growth?

I have the hardest time with these trees.

I watered the mother tree one time when small leaves come out on one of the trunks. The rot was on another trunk.

Rooting hormone isn't necessary.

For jades and P. afra I just throw the cuttings on the potting bench until I remember they're sitting there. Usually I let them callus for at least a day or two but sometimes I get busy and it's about two weeks before I put them in some dirt and they all come out fine. I have to take a flat to the local plant shop to sell soon.

I have no problem with p. afra, just the crassula ovata.

I treat the cuttings the same. Let them callus, stick in dirt

I had very good luck letting my cuttings dry out for 3 days, stuck it in slightly damp dry cactus mix and left them. It’s been foggy here so I haven’t watered them for a month and when I checked the other day They’ve got roots growing!
