You probably know from previous experience Jinny that they should be kept fairly dry as they come from arid and sandy origins and are classed as succulents. They can go outside when there is no risk of frost and sun will give a red tinge to the edges of the leaves.
My name is Don and I'm a bonsaiholic. If at first you don't succeed, stop growing Serissa.

| Hi jinny You don't need rooting powder with jade(crassula) as they will grow vwry easily from a single leaf. Just keep the soil damp for a few days until you see it produce a new growth.
Best regards

Agreed - these plants are so easy to propagate that I even find individual leaves that get knocked off grow roots if they're left lying on the surface of the soil.
One watch point for stem cuttings of succulents, though - it's best to let the cut surfaces dry for 1 or 2 days until a callous forms, which will prevent the tissue rotting when in contact with the damp soil.

If the medium they are in is almost dry, let it dry out completely to steer clear of any rot. If it is fairly wet your idea of lifting them for a while would be better. The cuttings shouldn't come to any harm as there'll be no roots yet.
