Well from what I know about a jade plant it would need to seal off the wound before it would stimulate it to grow roots. Most succulent plants are like that.
Perhaps you can try it again with a plant that would normally root in water to see if it will root with the same conditions the Jade plant did not.

One cuts a piece of a plant off and puts the cut end in water and it will produce roots so that you can plant it in soil, if it is the right sort of plant. This one didn't react like a cutting, because it didn't start to grow roots. (Jade plant.) I think the CS reduced the trauma that a cut normally produces in the stem and it didn't get the stimulus it needed to start growing the new roots. So, it didn't "know" it was cut, it "thought" it was not damaged (in a manner of speaking). Dan On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 12:55 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Dan, what do you mean ..
