Hey Jamesom Welcome

Dude, the further north you are the harder it is to get jades to root. Here in SoCal they grow like weeds. I have had them root in my compost pile, the more I chop them up the more they grow. I take the seeds after they bloom here in the winter and little bitty jades will grow if you put alot seeds in some nice dirt. Also, I let the cutting from the Jade dry out for a couple of weeks.

If you ever come thru here I will give you a bunch to take back to New England.

Peace
Bob
