Our baby George Gollum Jade was taken from the mother plant on May 29, 2021. It was as thin as a pencil when I got him from the mother plant, our mother plant was planted together with 5 or 6 other succulents so they are all competing for nutrients for years.
I first planted baby George Gollum Jade in a net pot like this with bonsai jack soil for fast draining and fast drying.
I put two sticks beside it to keep it standing, its top heavy.

I took him out after about 2 weeks to find out if George Gollum Jade plant had rooted or not, and sure enough he did have a single root.

At this point, I decided to move my baby George Gollum Jade, although he seems healthy, he is growing slowly and I read somewhere if they can grow more roots they could grow faster. At this point, he had 4 months to grow some roots and it wasn’t bad at all. As you can see here in the photo below.
