hej Martin, thanks for the nice pics. In my opinion all of these plants are the same cultivar, only the degree of variegation is different. But thats generally typical for most variegated cultivars ... when ever you start a new plant from a cutting you could get more or less variegation.

The cutting i have send you last year, originally comes from Tenerife. I found it as a sport on a large Tricolor.

All the best,

Ben

Lovely colours, Martin. So Ben, are you saying, any plant which looks like Solana, a sport, say, as on your plant, is called Solana? Even though their heritage might be quite different with all? I thought Solana was a particular cultivar, found and named in Russia? In fact, to me the plant in the first two pictures looks somehow different to the rest.

Great plants, Martin.

I agree with Ben that these are the same cultivar. Given more time growing in the same environment, I believe they will look more and more like one another.

Josh

Hi, Martin!

All they are Solana. The leaf colour depends on growing conditions. Although it is a particular cultivar, but very unstable because of the chimerity.

Oksana.

marguerite, yes i would call all of them Solana, independend of their origin. I guess all Solanas originally developed as sports on Tricolors.

Beauties!!

I was puzzled because the situation is quite different in the case of other plants, for instance, pelargoniums. Two plants could look the same, but have totally different parentage, and not be counted as the same. Some plants would carry weaknesses because of their heritage which others wouldn't. Of course, since most jades are not produced through hybridisation, unlike zonal pelargonium varieties, but all spring from the same Crassula ovata, no doubt your conclusion as jade growers is correct.

Look on my Solana!

The upper leaves have became more ovata than obliqua. And wavy. 'Beauty Return' on the left.

A jade with the colours of Solana but Crassula ovata-type leaves, does that have a name too? A wonderful forum friend sent me a cutting which is happily rooting, so I am wondering if it has a name. By the way, its leaves are not wavy like Oksana's picture on the left above.

it is gorgeous

it is gorgeous

sorry my computer is messed up

Hi Martin

cant argue with you on that one.

is that one as glossy as it looks.

Richard

Thanks for the reply, Martin. I have a little cutting which actually now seems to have rooted. It only has four main leaves with a new pair arriving. Three of the leaves have central striping and two have thin creamy variegation on the edge, including one with a stripe - I hope this is not too confusing. I can't make out the colour of the new pair of leaves yet. This is an ovate-leaved jade.

Hi Richard, I think you may know the plant I'm talking about. :)

i should get one of thous cause like i said they are gorgeous

HI Margaret

I'm not sure if this is the one you are referring to.

seems windows 10 upgrade thinks I needed three of every picture on my computer and now

I have 12,000 pictures to go through.

I think that's it, Richard. Thank you ! I think here the leaves are darker, probably because it's inside and yours is in your greenhouse. It's lovely.

I keep getting offered the Windows 10upgrade but am holding off to see how it goes.

When mine is bigger I'll post a photo, Martin. But Richard's is the plant.

This is my Crassula ovata obliqua, regular green form. However, it occasionally does show some variegation. Ben, I think, was interested in this plant's Summer striping, which disappears in the Winter.

Josh

shawneerie, keep reading all the new and old posts about crassula and you will learn a lot on this Forum. This post is a good example. Hope you are doing well with Gram's Jade.

HI Josh

tell me it isn't so winter in California.

you have to be kidding me.

Richard

Hey, Richard! No, it's not Winter ;-)
I always have my wood delivered in the Summer, so that I can stack it in rows to be seasoned by the wind and sun.

Josh

Hi, Richard!

I'm sorry, but it's 'Hummel's Ghost' on your pic.

Hi, Josh!

Remove, tear off the completely green leaves. Otherwise, your plant quite lose its variegation. Can you keep this plant about 59F in winter? I have read the book of the one soviet scientist recently. He wrote the frequency of variegated mutations increases about this temperature.

Oksana.

Hi Oksana

all my plants are kept around 65f during the winter.

there are 5 or 6 plants in that picture and will be potted up individually in the spring thank you for the I d not Shure where this one came from.

ok thx i just killed all the pups my aloe plants had and juiced them out and killed some that where in there own pot so i got lots of room for more jades :) PS. this is my moms email im actualy 13 and a guy... to clear up any confusion cause i dont like it when i thinks someone online is a girl when he is a guy or vice versa

Oksana, I do exactly the opposite! I remove all the variegated leaves :-)

I purchased this plant because I like the green obliqua.....but I do not like the 'Tricolor.'

Perhaps I will simply remove this little branch and attempt to propagate it on its own roots.

Josh

Josh, I understood :-) I also don't really like the Tricolor. But it's difficult to grow it, so I have to learn how to properly contain.

May I suggest something?

Great to know who you are, and your age. It may be good idea if you sign your post with your name (or a nickname). Most ppl will respond to you with the name to begin with - and not confuse you with your mom.

Btw, it is nice to see someone so young here. I hope you will continue with your interest in succulents. There are so many very experienced members here, and posts are full of great answers-tips and great photos. You should try search box on top to get posts on some different topics so you can read some very interesting stuff, and mainly see photos - as the saying goes, picture is worth a thousand words. Personally, I really appreciate if anyone posting takes their time to add photos. Great way to learn.

If you have any questions (and I hope you will and ask) that is unrelated to a thread you are reading, it would be best for you to start a new thread. That way you will get some answers.

Rina

ok thx and my mom doesn't come on here but will sign for no confusion

Hi,

I am collecting rare jades and have purchased a couple from Ben. I am also bidding on Crassula ovata 'GOLLUM REVERSE VARIEGATED' – currently on Ebay.

If anybody has a rare variety, let me know.

Thanks,Grady

Grady, did you get my email?
