 My jade plant was starting to get droopy because its branches were too big and heavy, so making some cuttings!

Any tips for successfully rooting jade? I have rooting hormone and coco coir. Was thinking of starting them in solo cups.

 No expertise here, but some things seem to root pretty well when I stick the cutting through aloe leaf and plant them together.   Good luck and happy experimenting! 
 You're on the right track. 
 I have heard aloe plant gel, The stuff you use for a sunburn, Works really well for rooting. 
 literally just stick em in the dirt and keep em damp, they grow roots on any part of the stem that is in the dark and damp 
 Makes sense easy enough

 one of my favourite plants... there was a really pretty, similar type of plant except instead of these disk shapes they were more like snorks (from teh cartoon) with a trumpet shape and a little indent on the tip
