    I think so? Looks pretty similar to the one I have that I received from Mike.{{gwi:569926}}.

    That one shouldn't grow with wavy leaves...what Jade are you thinking of with wavy leaves?

    Do you know how to root a jade?

    Nikki,

    That's Crassula ovata, and yes, it's a variegated jade. The seller has it misnamed - Crassula arborescens is a completely different plant.

    I agree with the above.
    The website linked below has it as Crassula ovata ssp. obliqua f. variegata - (maybe Tricolor?)

    It will not have the typical Jade leaf.

    there is more than one variegated jade plant. all are very nice especially Mike's specific plant. you would have to choose which particular plant you like best.

    And no i do not believe that that will have wavy leaves. i have a variegated jade "tricolor". it does not have wavy leaves and looks like that one.

    Thanks for all your replies, The plant im looking for is like pugs pic of her jade from mike I think the one in the ebay pic looks different to that, I have looked in the nurseries but cant seem to find it

    I do know how to root a jade I have rooted cuttings and leaves from my normal jade many times (I feel bad calling it "normal" lol) the problem I have is finding someone with a plant that will send a leaf or cutting because everyone is in the US and im in UK

    Thanks everyone for all your help and info... I cant beleive how much you all know about your jades :)))

    Hey, Nikki, I'd never seen a variegated Jade like Mike's until he posted a picture here.
    You are correct that the images in this Thread are not the same type of Jade as Mike's. Mike's
    Jade looks exactly like the normal Crassula ovata, but with variegated yellow/green leaves.

    Here's a shot of my cutting -

    Hi Caudex and Mike ...

    I have sent you both an email Thanks :)

    Nikki,
    Hope you don't mind rooted cuttings? Whenever I prune I throw leaves and stems on the ground and let them root. It's time to thin them out and will send you the uprooted ones.

    Caudex that will be fine thanks :)
