I sort of inherited a green thumb from my uncle via a jade plant. For the longest time I only had this initial Jade plant as more of a decorative piece. Then, over Christmas Break 2002, it faltered. In an attempt to save this plant, I asked my uncle what I could do. He told me that there wasn't much that I could do, but not to despair: all of the leaves that had dropped off the plant and were lying in the pot could be used to grow new jade plants. During the process of growing these new plants, I began to really enjoy the art of indoor gardening. Presented here is some of my methods, results, and any advice I can think of to give so that this fun hobby can be passed along to anyone else out there.
