Well Hello Joanne F.,
Welcome to The Garden Helpers Forum!!!
You have picked a very nice forum to join,
We are a bunch of very nice gardeners, and people and family members..... All with a passion for
growing things, whether it be
plants,
flowers, vegetables and or friendships!!!!
We hope you'll stick around and ask lots' of questions, that's what we're here for......
And for learning new things from other gardeners as well,
We have a few from N.Y.
Yep, me too!!
I'm on the other end though, Western New York!!
But we do have some from your side, luvgardening and Will Creed to name a few off the top of of my head.... But stick around, it takes the gardeners a bit to get around and on.
But glad to have you on board...................
As far as Jade's go, they're pretty easy to grow, just place the leaf on some dirt and just watch those roots grow.... You'll have a good size
plant in no time....
I would think you'd be able to take the
plant that you started and put it in some dirt, and it would survive, If it were my
plant what I'd do is, after I find an approperate pot, with good drainage, I'd put the dirt in and the
plant on top and put a saucer underneath it for a SHORT PERIOD OF TIME... and keep the soil alot moister than normal, if the
plant rooted in water, as I understand it roots in water eventually can't take up nutrients from dirt, or have a hard time.
But if you kind of give it the same moist conditions for a small amount of time, backing off the water, and or letting it evaporate or such the
plant in time will still have it's moist roots and eventually send in new ones that will like the dirt. And then will not have the original water only roots.
Does that make sense, I'm a reader and a doer, and sometimes in translation I get a bit winded!!!
(I told Bill he needs to find me a snoring gremlin to add to my long winded books)
I'm also pretty sure, if you wait a bit, Will Creed will also be through with some advice as well.
Also, If you go to FORUM SEARCH and type in jade
you'll get about 53 of posts that may give you some more info....
Also do a GARDEN SEARCH and type in jade and you'll get some of Bill's info on the site here about
growing Hades...
