New baby, please help me care for it!
Comments (5)Josh, thanks for the advice...I think I understand your logic. If I can force myself to wait (LOL) I will probably mark it in place so the lawn guy doesn't mow it AND so I can find it in the winter. Gardengal48, you are right, there are several others, though this particular one is the biggest and quite vigorous-looking. I am *guessing* that it might already be a year old? I really don't know much about JMs other than the fact that they grow quite slowly, and I really really like them!...See More**Mealy bugs?** + **Plant ID help, please!** [5 pics]
Comments (11)Cheryl Yes, while jades can handle some soil as a part of mix, gritty/gravely mix is good - great drainage, air exchange. I think pruning depends on your 'vision' of finished plant. I personally like them potted single, with thick trunk. Others may have different likes. I like bonsai styles, but don't have enough knowledge... I would prune all of the branches - make them short; most likely I would cut off the thick one and pot it as separate plant. It is good time to do it. Yes to acclimatizing, especially if they were indoors for a while. Also if re-potting and pruning - I would keep them in some dapple shade/filtered sun to begin with (not necessary to bring them in), and keep putting into more sun every 2/few days (I don't know where you are). Here is photo of one with 'extra' branch, before: (there are many good threads on pruning on this forum - search for 'chopping jades')and after: If you like to start new thread, after opening Cacti& Succulent forum, there is large 'box' on top; put title of your thread in top column (where it sayz Example title), and continue with text & photos below. I wouldn't start new one on this subject - it's already 'running' and would be duplication. You could put zone/general location next to your name, it will eliminate questions "where are you located" :) Rina...See MoreSucculent ID help please! x5
Comments (3)Nice plants, but they have different care requirements so they're not good candidates to put together. Ex: Haworthias prefer indirect light to part shade, while Crassulas want as much direct sun as they can get. Personally, I'd be more concerned to get them out of that peaty looking & mix into more appropriate soil....See MoreHelp me ID extremely tiny black bugs under my baby succulents please!
Comments (3)I do not know what the bugs are. Plantlets look ok. I wouldn't complicate rooting so much - I don't see advantage of using paper towels; as you found , it could e annoying trying to get the roots detangled (I never heard of this method). I like it as simple as possible. Most of the time, I just lay leaves on surface of pretty gritty mix and they root and grow in it. I transplant them easily when they are big and start interfering with each other. These were transplanted recently since pot was getting too full:Bunch of leaves started in same pot & gritty mix - 2nd photo as they are now; soon to be given individual pots:...See MoreRuss1023 (central Fla)
