You’re welcome! Jade is usually best propagated by stem cuttings. Leaves on their own take a very long time to grow, but it’s worth a shot! Plop it on top of some dry soil and leave it in a sunny spot. Once you see growth form, give it a little drink. Bottom watering is the best method for succulent propagations to avoid overwatering/rot. I added a photo to show an example of propagating this way.
@SassyPlants No worries! I love questions. I bottom-water every plant in my collection. First, I place the pot in a Tupperware container. Next, I fill the container with water. For multiple plants at once, I use a glass baking pan. They typically take 10-20 minutes, depending on the pot size, to soak up what they need. You'll get a feel for how long it takes after a few tries. The topsoil will feel damp when they've had enough to drink. The two plants on the right in my picture are good examples. I take them out as soon as I see water break the surface.
