Hi everyone I would be grateful of some advice please.
Here is a photo of my relatives jade plant A, I offered to re-pot it as it did not look that well and had not been touched in years.
I re-potted in cacti / succulent media supplied from the store to which I added some washed horticultural sand to make it a little more gritty. As the one I took out was like this which also had chalk in the bottom. Plant A is not doing very well at all my relative potted it up with some other media mix, so I am not sure how things will turn out as it's looking worse that it ever was. I was wondering what could be causing it and what would be the best way to propagate it in it's current form, so as to have a better chance of saving it. Should I get some rooting powder or gel to aid with it striking and what would be the method you would use?
Now for my jade plants.
I have use the same media on other variegated with a couple of issue B seems to be ok, C lost a lot of leaves I was wondering if it was to do with temperature, as it could have got close to 11 or 10 degree C. But the other jade plants seem to have been OK so I am just wondering if that was the cause to plant C. I have since moved plant C into another room that's at 16 degree C now and it seems to have stabilized. Plant C is a Portulacaria Afra. I have tried the leaf pull trick but it did not work no strikes, though no rooting hormone was used.
Will the plant regrow leaves from when it was lost at the node? How much sun should one of these plants have, direct or shady?
I look forward to hearing some advice.
Regards Noddy
