baby crassulas

the little cluster of baby Jades getting so crowded how could they grow
so I gently pulled them apart and replaced spread out (in the same little pot). The parent leaf had some roots so I stuck that back in the soil of another jade pot, just to see what happens.

I am apparently a total failure at transplanting jade, lol. I was thinking of you and tried to cultivate a new plant from a leaf..I even dipped it in root growing hormone…no luck :( It just turned black and died…I'm thinking maybe I watered it too much??

I don't know. I've tried with dozens of leaves, and only about a third of them stay alive and grow new plants. My big pot had seven leaves stuck in the soil, all but one rotted away. So it could just be luck. I've never used rooting hormone with these.
