Crassula portulacea: Horseshoe or Gollum Fingers, Hobbit Plant or
Comments (9)Happy - Bonsai West probably has some really large, fat ones - I had not thought of that. I, too, try to stay away because I will end up spending more than I should! They also usually have some really nice Portulacaria afra, if you are so inclined... I got this jade at Russell's Garden Center in Wayland...it caught my eye, so I took it home. Not too expensive, either. T...See MoreHobbit, skinny fingers or Gollum
Comments (22)Yes, you are bitten, Hamza, and badly :) Your post re, Crassula ovata above leads me to another question for the experts here - I have two types of Crassula ovata, one has longer oval leaves than the other and never, unlike the other, gets red edges on the leaves in the sun. It also seems a much darker green. Are there even different types of Crassula ovata that are green, never mind variegated?...See MoreSticky fingers? gollum? hobbit? legolas?
Comments (19)Hi Neil, This is a 'Red Horn Tree' definitely. It will get the same coloration as a 'Hummel's Sunset' with cooler temperatures and bright light. Once you get strong roots and lots of new growth, keep it next to your Hummel's for a prolonged period of time and they should get similar coloration. The variegated form of 'Skinny Fingers' is the 'Legolas'. This one will have very different coloration on the leaves, often times either an entire leaf will lose chlorophyll or it will appear as though a regular varigated jade leaf was rolled up. Like 'Hummel's Sunset', 'Red Horn Tree' is not a variegated form of jade. 'Hummel's Ghost' is the variegated form of the Sunset. A lot to take in there... -Erica...See MoreLegolas jade & Variegated Gollum jade, leaf propagation
Comments (61)Laurent - French Riviera (zone 9a) "Oksana, I don't know what a mono-led fixture is. I'm living in a mediterranean region (orange-tree climatic zone). I only keep inside the little Legolas and little variegated gollum + the variegated schlumbergera. The region is sunny enough to get them grow very well inside behind a window, without artificial lights." Laurent, a "mono-LED fixture" would be an light fixture containing LED light bulbs that are all of one color. For example, in Oksana's first set of pictures the plants are under an LED light fixture in which all of the LED lights are red in color. In the second photo, the LED lights are all blue. :-)...See MoreMeg
