Oksana, I am not positive it is Hummel's Sunset, could just be C. ovata variegata...

Christopher.

Christopher,

Spring-Summer will show.

marguerite,

it was old pic of my Hummel's Sunset variegata from 2014 at once after purchase.

I'm in Alabama and haven't been able to find much online in the way of variegated or unusual Jades. I have something arriving tomorrow that looked like an Obliqua in Lemon and Lime by the picture, will post when they are delivered. He didn't identify, just sent the pic, size, price and I jumped on both of them.

I'm in the Southeastern United States, North Alabama (about one mile from the Tennessee River).

BTW..I am a believer in persistence paying off. Maybe some Jades will start to show before too long.

You know, I think you are right, Joe. I have found that when you really like a plant, like magic one will turn up. For which reason, I really enjoy looking at all the pics, but try not to want all I see; I have not too much room, so have to be careful what I wish for.

It will be fun watching your collection grow - I hope you'll post photos of them, and meanwhile, the very best of luck with them.

I don't know why, but it seems they have a better selection of different Jade varieties available in Europe than they do here in the States. Maybe more Jade enthusiasts there?

I have two one gallons of the below coming tomorrow (that is one of them).

Nice looking Tricolor Bama!

Marguerite, I believe you're right. I keep thinking positive and then one shows up.

Christopher, I agree! They have some nice jades over there with nice pricing. I have wondered why, too. Maybe they have been at it longer - propagating.

I think I do know why...The Europeans as a whole really love their plants, even more so than we in America.

Christopher

Here's another plant of the small leaf.

Hi, i don't think that there are more jade cultivars available in Europe than in the US. Actually i got a lot of my plants from GW members from the US ... and lots of the classics like Hummels and Crosbys originate there.

I'm very happy that there exists a forum like GW were jade enthusiast from many European countries, from Russia and the USA can meet and exchange their knowledge and picture :) ... maybe one day we will have also some people from Japan or other countries here that share their beauties with us.

Here in Europe there are also some nice forums, however due to the many languages there are lots of smaller forums that don´t know from each other and hence the community can´t grow that big.

Camellia, you always seem to have another nice jade plant up your sleeve :) Is it the same variegated small-leave jade like your other?

Camellia, it's a beautiful plant ;)

I agree with Ben, Camellia :) Looking at your pictures you must be a very positive thinker. All the jades I've been looking at here are so beautiful, they really are gifts from the cosmos. I spent an hour watering some of mine yesterday and talking to them.

I think you are right again, Ben, about the forum and its international appeal - our jades and other succulents unite us all.

What's your other plant that's on the way, Joe?

Just thinking, right on this thread we are from the US, UK, Germany, Russia, France, Ireland - have I left anywhere out?

Thanks Laurent!

Marguerite, I stumbled across GW during a difficult time in my life while looking for tips on how to prune my regular jade plant. I drooled over all the jades and was hoping one day I could get these beauties. Later, I was given "The Secret" video. Being positive and searching as I realized I wasn't going to be given any cuttings...LOL, I was able to find these beauties. So, my collection is very special to me.

Ben, Yes, it is the same plants. When I purchased the plants, there were two and I separated them out; one in grit and one in soil as I am still quite new to the gritty mix. I should have put them in the same spot due to my limited lighting. One is more compact and the other is reaching for light. I bought them as compact variegated small leaf. They are quite different than my variegated Helios. The Helios will turn completely green without good lighting and the striping and colors return in the right conditions. This one's variations have remained through winter and will get the pretty colors in the Summer. I have fertilized them to death...

What is The Secret video, Camellia? A positive thinking video? It worked well, anyway. I wonder if the jades watched it too, to find themselves a good home !

Marguerite, LOL! Yes, it is. There's also a book. It was quite popular in the US and promoted by Oprah.

Camellia, I really like the looks of your little Jade...Love the rounded shape of many of the leaves.

Christopher

Thanks Christopher! I'm looking forward to Spring/Summer to see how they grow.

Wow, I did not know there are so many different variegated Jade plants. Every single are so beautiful. I just got one from HomeDepot, the tag is Red Jade Plant 'Akai Jade' Crassula argentea Hybrid. There is only one and I grab it fast :). A google search did not turn up more information. Do you know what it could be? Thank you.

I wonder if it is really Crassula 'Tricolor', meaning the red will appear later, because there is nothing red about the plant; many of the leaves do have pointed tips which might indicate it's an obliqua type cultivar. It is lovely - why don't you post it on a thread of its own to make sure you get loads of advice?

The alternative might be that it has been mislabelled. Christopher has a red jade called 'Rubra', however, I don't think it's available commercially yet. And now Hamza has one too, and he did acquire that in a shop.

rockdale - I bought the same plant at HD and there was also only 1 when I was there! Whatever the real name, I got caught up the the variegated jade discussion and was happy to find one that I did not have. I"ll be repotting after I pick up some more bark.

I do not think it is tricolor which is the only other variegated jade I have. But I will start a new thread as suggested. Thanks

As mentioned on your new thread, I concur that it is Crassula ovata variegata. Certainly not 'Tricolor' which has a different leaf shape and different variegation.

Christopher

This is Tricolor - only white & green right now:

Rina

This little guy is really starting to grow now...A baby Waves from a leaf that had fallen in my Hobbit pot...

Christopher

So you have no bother rooting them anyway, Rina. So is Waves a Crassula arborescens cultivar, then, Christopher?

Without a doubt, Marguerite.

Christopher

Marguerite
so far, just about 100% success with rooting tricolor cuttings (have many more of them), and few leaves too.

Rina

Marguerite
Waves isn't cultivar. It's native species, Crassula arborescens ssp. undulatifolia TOELKEN.

Thank you, Oksana.

That is some great success rate, Rina, in view of the difficulties other posted about. Roughly what percentage of your tricolor leaves, if any, come variegated??

Marguerite
From 4 leaves growing right now, 3 are variegated, one (circled in black) has 2 'sprouts' - 1 is green, another variegated. But they are still very small, so I'll wait & see.

Rina, hard to see from a picture if the new sprouts on the one you've circled has any green to the leaves of the sprout growing white. It is my understanding that if a cutting produces leaves with no green in them they will not survive due to a lack of chlorophyll. It will be interesting to see how that one turns out! The other ones look wonderful, especially that one on the far right!

-Erica

Erica
It's not the greatest photo...the leave in black circle has one baby with all green leaves and another is almost all white/yellow with just a touch of pink. They are definitely 2 separate plants. Here is a close-up, not very clear but best I can do.

ps: I had one over year ago that grew variegated from a leaf, but darn squirrel made a lunch or whatever out of it & it didn't survive...

Rina,

Thanks for the close up. That one is definitely interesting, especially with so much pink already developing. Keep us updated on its progress!

I've found that squirrels cannot get enough of Lithops randomly. If I don't keep them out of their general field of view they pull them out and then leave them when they realize they don't actually want it.

-Erica

Wow, leaves out, everyone, who knows what beauties await discovery. That little sprout you say is all green, Rina, it seems to have a golden edge. Is that the light, or my eyes? This is so exciting. I found four leaves rooting today - so much to look forward to. Thanks for showing them.

Marguerite, whole underside is red. I think the golden color is a reflection - I 'inspected' it with magnifying glass & it looks green, just a touch lighter. I think it has to get bigger to make up it's mind...Rina

Funny, I had a magnifying page out today, inspecting mine., but they're only teeny at the moment, patience is called for.

To get back to one of my own variegates, this one has turned reddish also, making the variegation more difficult to distinguish. Not sure if I like the results.

Christopher

Wow, even the stem turned reddish. Certainly unique but I see what you mean about it completely changing the variegation. Is this from sun exposure?

Indeed, some of the the variegation gets lost...Yes, it is from my sunny south window.

Christopher

Camellia,

your variegated jade with small leafs looks very similar to the one, which is selling on ebay (under item: Unidentified Variegated Miniature Crassula Cutting Variegated Jade Unusual) . But unfortunatelly the seller doesn't ship to Europe. If you will have some cutting for sale and wish to send it to Slovakia, please let me know. Thank you! Martin

PS: my email is under my profile info, if you would like to send me private message.

Hi Martin, it is from the same seller and mother plant. My plant is quite small right now as it is a slow grower for me. I'm hoping it will put on more growth this season as I bought it last summer. It's beginning to show some growth now.

your plant on pic

isn't C.obliqua. It's Cotyledon macrantha or Cotyledon orbiculata var. oblonga
. Compare http://www.lapshin.org/succulent/c-co-vir.htm

It differs from the Crassula Obliqua by a wider and slightly wavy leaves.

Oksana.

The Cotyledon has thinner leaves than my plant, I am still thinking obliqua. Here is another photo.

Christopher

I got a variegated C. obliqua at the Flower Show and it had a tiny cutting under it that I potted separately. I am pretty sure it is the obliqua and looks very similar to yours.

-Erica

I think you may be correct...For some reason, the plain obliqua is not that common.

Christopher

Christopher,

Your growing conditions are better than mine. So when your plant will bloom, I think we'll know its family. :)
I am confused wavy leaves on your plant. My nature Obliqua was growing at different conditions but wavy leaves were absent.

I was pretty excited when I saw it there. It was so tiny; that pot is only 1 1/2 inches!

Erica:

I always love those little bonuses. In almost every Jade pot of mine I have another little plant growing from a leaf that fell off or that I planted and forgot about.

Oksana:

I guess I was under the impression that a slight twist in the leaf was a defining feature of obliqua. Your obliqua is very nice, and healthy.

Christopher

This was one of my favourite jade threads. I wonder does Camellia come here any more, and how are her jades doing?

I was wondering about her impressive collection of jades as well. Hopefully we get an update someday soon :). From Christopher as well.
