Three Leaves

15 years ago

I just looked at a piece of my three leaf C. arborescens 'Blau Vogel' or 'Blue Bird' it is crested each tuft of new leaves are only three and the stem are flat and not round. Perhaps the one that was posted is going through a change and may be cresting. I have had this cutting out for two weeks on my desk trying to get roots, I think it's the wrong time of the year, and will just set it into an empty pot and put back out side. I think the plant is older than me? ? ?? Norma

Perhaps. I've never seen a crested (cristate) Crassula ovata, but I'm all for seeing one. Let's see a picture, please.

Jeff I would love to be able to post pictures. The formate has been changed and I am not going through the expense of learning again. It is just not that important. Norma

I don't think I have a crested ovata, but I never looked either, they are not that important to me. I like to respond to new people, they seem to appreciate any help they can get. I don't even like the C. ovata. They don't excite me. Norma
