I got my jade plant from a flea market. Originally it was very bare and falling out of the soil but I bought it because I really wanted the pot that it was in. When I got home, I decided to fix the way it was planted and try to revive it. I figured when it died I would be able to use the pot then. What I didn't expect was for the plant to thrive, especially in my dorm in Boston. My jade plant started growing really fast and before I knew it I had to start propagating it.
