I am no expert but i grew my jade from a cutting. I stuck it in a cup of water until it grew roots, then I planted it. Since planting it, I only water when the leaves start looking slightly likely they are shriveling. and when I water it, I water it deeply so that water runs out the bottom. I have it in a north west window but my experience is that it is not fussy (my assistant had one in her cubicle for years). my cutting now looks like a tree, so pretty.
