I hear everyone talking about how easy it is to reproduce jade plants, but I have yet been able to do it. I have tried the leaf method, not the stem method, for I have had leaves fall off of my gollum plants. What exactly is supposed to be done with one of these leaves. Is it supposed to be placed on top of the soil, under the soil, or stood upward and partially buried? How much should this be watered? How about lighting? What should one look for to know if the attempt is a success or failure?

TJB,
Some of the leaves that fall off should just root up for you,
They just lay on top of the dirt!!!
Maybe watch your moisture???

Mine were almost like weeds, and I couldn't stop making new one's...

Can you tell us what you've been doing and maybe something there could tell us better what to tell you?????

I'd say the best thing to do is just let there on top of the soil after they fall off. If you've watered your jade reciently, the inside area where the jade grows out of the pot should be humid enough. They won't take root right away though. A lot of the time what happens with my leaves is they sit there, and grow a lil stem and leaves first, and then it roots. If the weather is humid enough, it should root on its own.
