| I wasn't sure if this would work in the middle of winter, but it did! The plants are in 2 inch pots.
The first one I believe is a compact form. These leaves are from a friends plant. They fell off, and that's why I tried to root it. Not sure the other one is gong to do any thing. 
This one is a regular Jade. This one fell off and started to root in the pot with the mother plant.

| Congratulations on your new "babies"! Isn't it so exciting to see those little roots grow on the leaves and then the anticipation waiting for the little leaves to develop. I am constantly amazed. Beverly |

| Mike, They sit in a west window. Until spring, that's the best I can do. Bama, There wasn't a lot of anticipation this time. I didn't expect much doing this in the winter. Thankfully, they seem to doing well. |

| this is what fascinates me most about gardening. the resilience to...how would you say it...to survive? to live? to reproduce? Nature is amazing. I have a similar leaf that fell off during a move, I found it randomly yesterday while making other adjustments. It fell behind a cabinet. I need a better camera to get a shot of it, but I was blown away with how quickly it developed and how many little leaves this ONE leaf produced. Amazing stuff. |

The babies seem to be doing well. Here's one with growth from both plants.  In this one, I added another leaf I found, and both are growing here too.  I never really expected these to grow over the winter. With spring here, I can't wait to watch them grow! Rob |

| It happens that Winter is prime growing time for Jades (Crassula ovata), they even bloom in Winter, Jan. & Feb. if I recall correctly. |

| Interesting all my jades do all their growing in the summer and bloom in the winter. |
