Plant ID help! Jade? Sedum?
Comments (1)Highly etiolated Kalanchoe I believe....See MoreJade Plant Cultivar ID Please?
Comments (5)First one looks like C. ovata 'Hobbit', though it's much brighter in color than mine. Not sure if that's a specific cultivar, or just due to conditions. Coloration is much like some Hummel's sunset pics I've seen--I'm really curious to know if it's another cultivar. Second I believe is Cotyledon tomentosa 'Bear paw'--variegata? Recently looked into that one after seeing but not buying one and being intrigued by it....See MoreJade ID please
Comments (8)The Crassula ovata 'Gollum' looks perfect to me and not monstrose. But you can call it any thing you please unless it has been published differently. It is a sport, and it looks like it doesn't have a speck of 'Crassula 'Hobbit' in it. It is rare now to find one that perfect. The 'Jade' above are just regular 'Jade' not necessarly Crosby had anything to do with it at all, except tag a name on in order to sell it. If it wasn't published correctly with a Latin description you may change the name. C. agentea is known to have a much smaller leaf, I believe that is just a another different form of C. ovata I have several of those with different names depending who I purchased them from and they are all syn. with Crassula ovata. Look in Gordon Rowley's book, regards to all Norma...See MoreI finally repotted my Jade plants, and I'd love to see yours, too.
Comments (20)Well I did a reply to the latest posts, but I can't see it now...so as not to be seen to be ignoring the replies, here it is again, no doubt it will now magically appear...twice! @Marguerite, thanks for the name Blue Hale, I hadn't come across that one before. I'll amend its label, you know how I like my labels! @ Rina, thank you. No particular secret as to their size. Maybe because of growing them hard, they rarely get any fertiliser, they're watered infrequently and get no special care really and spend their lives confined to the g/h...it works and suits me fine:-) @ Richard, thank you too. The blooms have taken an absolute age to develop from buds to open flowers and seem to be lasting even longer now in full flower....just wish they didn't pong so much, it's really an unpleasant smell in there especially when the sun is out :-/ My regular jades also flowered, they take a fair while to get from bud to open, but these beat them hands down in the 'longest time it takes stakes'. They (the ones that do flower) all generally start to show the first signs of buds around Jan/Feb, but just last sooooo long. I've only ever got the ordinary plain ovatas and this one to flower...so far. Regarding the downsizing, yes they can certainly be cut down, but I'd still have to accommodate them in the house come the day my g/h falls down! Don't worry, it won't quite be yet :-) I just have to remember to place the plants to dodge the drips from the roof, hope one of the glass panes stays put as it's bottom frame has rotted and remember not to open one of the casement windows as I need to replace the hinges.....oh the joys of house ownership!
