looks like crassula arborescens, or silver dollar jade

mango, that's what i thought but did some reading on GW and another thread said cotyledon... so i wasn't sure. is it the same thing or just another variety? and, best way to take of it?? Live in PA, so no outside now, but i guess it can go outside in the Spring??

How big is it?

I also think it is Crassula aborescens.

Keep it outside once the temperatures are constantly above about 50 Fahrenheit. You will want it in full sun, but make sure not to let it burn!

palms, its in a 4"pot

Thanks. I am not quite sure what it is, but I can give you a few tips.

Get some perlite when you next have a chance. Mix it 60% perlite and 40% cactus and succulent soil. Repot the plant into that. Even though the outer pot looks nice, I would just keep it in the plastic one, as that will allow it to drain better.

Right now, because it is still Winter, you may have to get a grow light. I have found that even if you keep succulents on a west facing window, they still etiolate noticeably, and if you want a nice plant come Spring, you may have to use a light.

amazon/soil i was looking at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0194E9UW6/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3GO5NER5B9A1K

do u think this is a good soil for it? i hope the link come through

i was looking for on GW for a good soil and most recommend making your own. thought this would work? i don't know if i can find all that is need...

That soil may be OK to use without any additives (I never used it, but description of ingredients looks OK).

You don't have Home Depot or local nursery to buy from?

how's the Bonsai Jack succulent soil?? was as HD today, they don't have turface, pine bark fines or crushed granite...i think its easier to buy all pre-mixed., thoughts on that....???

Where do you live?

outside of Philly

Try a local farm supply store for the granite chicken grower grit #2 size. Maybe others in the New York area can recommend specific stores?

Bonsai Jack is supposed to be okay, but for what it costs for a small bag you could make 50lbs worth of your own kind of mix.

haha, don't live near NY...live in PA, suburb of Philadelphia.....no farms close to here would have to do some traveling......

Don't what I was thinking, ha. You will need to drive out of the city for sure. Tractor Supply Co or possibly Agway? Not sure. Maybe 30 minutes drive out, depending which suburb you live in.

Turface is used in baseball diamonds and sometimes golf courses. They have distributors in Cherry Hill, near Horsham, etc. http://www.turface.com/find-a-distributor

I live in a metro area - it's a bit of a drive out for me too. Bonsai Jack is just convenient but around $25 for around 10lbs. 50lbs of grit is <$10 and 50lbs of Turface is around $20. Or you could get 15lbs of pumice for $25 from General Pumice Products.

Guess it all depends how much effort you are willing to spend.

i also live outside philly. PHS greenhouses sells Al's gritty mix for $10 a quart.

If you live near Glenside, Primex Garden Supply has grit, Turface, etc. It is a little pricey though. Sometimes I just use aquarium pebbles for the "grit" because unmedicated chicken scratch is sort of hard to find, unless you travel out to Lancaster.
