Snip the leaf from the plant. The next step in propagating jade plants from leaves is to lay the jadeleaf onto a potting mixture of half vermiculite or perlite and half soil. Water the potting mixture once after you lay the jade leaf down and water sparingly until the leaf puts out roots.
Heres a helpful link!

In potting soil
just stick it in some dirt.
In potting soil, slightly moist.
Hi Hope, It depends on what you have to start with. By reading your post, I know that your start does not yet have roots. BTW, if you had roots, you could just plant it. Take your Jade start and lay the leaf on top of a mixture made from 50% potting soil and 50% vermiculite. Don't try to plant it. Water it sparingly until the plant puts out roots. Then plant it. Good luck.
If your plant has roots it can go into the moistened soil, if no roots, you need to make it grow some. That is easily done by a half and hall mixture of vermiculite and potting soil, put the plant on that and roots will develop soon after, add very little water.
