I did a lot of work on my poor succulents this weekend! They were all in the wrong kind of soil.

Here is my large Jade re-potted and bathed:

Here is the Jade I whacked for my Dad. I wish I had taken a picture before. It had split into two branches about 3" above where I whacked it. This is actually the first time I re-potted it. It has since bee potted in a mix with less peat and given back to my Dad. He was pretty pissed. ; ) You can see the cuttings I took to the left of the plant.

These poor things were rescued from the restaurant where I work:

I'm not sure what either are, but they're obviously succulents. To the right is a cutting I took before I decided to just bring the whole thing home and work some magic.

And here is one re-potted:

I have it propped up with a bamboo skewer and it is back in its window. I faced the curve away from the window to try to force it to straighten out. Not knowing what, exactly, it was, I didn't want to cut it back. However, I may take a cutting for myself later. I've potted up two cutting from the other plant (one for me and one to go back to work).

Here are my cuttings. The blue pot has the cutting from the work plant all the way on the right and some Jade cuttings from my dad's plant I'm experimenting with. The small clay pot is the other cutting from the work plant and the last picture is the cutting I saved for my Dad (since I reduced his to a nub).

This is my freshly re-potted Aloe. Not only was the mix to peat-heavy, but I was bad and cut of leaves I wrongly assumed were diseased. Before pictures are in the link below. I added the rocks to take away from the unsightly stem. I was a good girl and didn't bury it. All in all, I think it looks really nice with the rocks on the top. They take away from the stem a bit. However, they're easy to remove if you guys think that was a bad idea.

I also ordered a Crassula arborescens undulatifolia, Crassula lactea and a Crassula argentea compacta this morning!

Oh, and here are my newest additions. Both this week. Both have bee re-potted in a better mix.

I know the first one is an Aloe Variegata and I believe the second one is echeveria-pearl-of-nuremberg.
