Thank You Mike...

16 years ago

As some of you might remember Mike posted a couple of weeks ago that he was downsizing his Jades collection...well I was very fortunate to be the very first one to put my dibs on one of his Jades and boy was I lucky enough to get a gorgeous one and I absolutely Love it! It is without a doubt the prettiest Jade I own...thanks to Mike and his very kind

generosity. I just wanted to share a picture of it in its new pot and new home. I really hope I do well growing it and I don't let Mike down. Wish me luck!

Thanks very much Mike...I can't express enough how much I truly appreciate it and will give it the best possible care.

    Hi Nancy,

    After helping me all the years, and being a true loyal friend, you deserve it. I knew you liked this one from the day I bought it..It will be safe with you, that I know.

    Nancy, actually it is not my Jade collection I am downsizing, but the ones I bought or saved so I could make room and time for the special ones from friends gifted to me here that I will always appreciate!
    I would say now that 80% of my plants are now special plants!

    Mike..:-)

    Hi Mike, Thanks for clarify about the downsizing part, I guess I misunderstood...sorry about that! I'm sure you will cherish the ones you kept mostly from special friends, the way I will cherish this lovey Jade :o)

    Thanks again!

    Hi Nanci,
    That really is a nice jade. I am so jealous but Mike is right. You were the first person to start me on my jade adventure! Good luck with your new jade Nanci. I wish you many years of enjoyment and sucess with it. You deserve it!

    Thanks Marie, I actually got that pot at Lowe's a couple of years ago...it had a few small succulents/cactus in it. I bought it at 75% off on clearance after Christmas. I don't grow cactus so I basically bought it for the pot...I just LOVE clearance sales!

    Thank You Andrew...I appreciate the well wishes. I can use all the good growing tips I can get :o)
    Best of luck with your gorgeous Hummel Sunset Jade too!

    What a nice plant you have there!

    By the way, what kind of jade is it? Is it normal the bottom leaves turing yellowish?

  • 16 years ago

    Thanks Romain...I'm guessing its a Crassula ovata variegata jade?? Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm the worst at identifying Jades and Succulents. Yes, that yellowish is not a dying leaf...these leaves are normal for this kind of Jade. Part of its beauty IMO.

    Greetings and good afternoon, Nancy!

    It is a lovely plant that you have received, and it truly couldn't have gone to a kinder grower!
    Unfortunately, I don't know if this Jade has a particular trade name or not, and I certainly don't
    want to give the wrong name and lead you astray ;) It is definitely C. ovata, and it is variegated.

    Now, if it were my plant to name, and if I were gettin' creative, I'd call it "Lemon Lime." ;)
