Thanks, I couldn't quite get the hang of that, so I just put the link. I appreciate your posting the pics for me!

It's not scale, mealies, or aphids. The last two could have caused this condition when those leaves were very young however. It just may be the cold and too much water. Cut those damaged leaves out. More will grow in, use a very sharp exacto knife found at any art supply store. Or a single edged razor blade in a holder. It must be sterile. Scale is like little pin heads that appear as bumps on the leaves. Aphids, are white, black, yellow, red? and can just be washed off, and mealies are white fuzzy tiny little egg shapped things that can walk lay eggs and hatch about every 5 days. The males will fly.
Soap and water will kill them and well as 50% alcohol. You may want to use a cotton bud (que tip) to attack them or spray it on. cut off those damaged leaves. This is a product that I use in the Spring, Bayer Advance Garden 2-in-1 Systemic
Rose and Flower Care. Be sure to follow the directions, more isn't better. The plant is more at risk if grown indoors. I also suggest you cut back water this time of the year. Crassula ovata oozes out extra moisture if it can't handle it. If you have high humidity then don't water as well. My humidity is about 5% this time of the year, and I do not water. I have it growing in a very coarse mix, that I put together myself, mine are crowded into their pots, and they flower in December though the next few months. I let the soil dry out. July-Sept I cut the plant back in Oct.1 and fertilize often during it's growing season. I only repot when it outgrows it pot, and out the bottom hole. The plant will actually tell me when it needs repotting. I hope this has been of some help, this information is only a guide, use your own judgement what your plant needs, just grow them with common sense.
Most succulents are grown the same way in the same soil mix the same amount of water and sun, all of the same requirements. Norma

Norma, I have the same product: Bayer Advance Garden 2-in-1 Systemic Rose and Flower Care.

The directions state that it is not for potted plants....do you still use it on your indoor plants?

Please let me know if you dilute the solution or what you do to adjust this for indoor plants.

Thanks!

WHEW!!!

Thanks, Norma!

Time to go perform surgery...

WooHoo, Thanks!!

Hehe!! You got it!!! Are those Pencil Cactus cuttings? Those clay pots are on sale at Wal-mart for pennies right now. :) Christy

Yep, those are the firestick pencil cactus. I'm using cuttings and mini plants for our delayed wedding reception, in March.

What a neat idea!! Grow your own centerpieces :) My sister had hurricane vases with lace wrapped around the top and a live butterfly in it at each table. People were taking them outside to 'set them free'. It was creepy, live bugs at every table!! Those Pencil Cactus look good! Christy :)
