They are all just lovely. Could the long-leaved one be a Crassula arborescens 'Bluebird' ? I'm delighted you got your silver dollar jade at last, Nancy. What a fabulous colour. The Gollum leaves always remind me of little submarine periscopes, but particularly on your plant here.

Thank you Margaret. Interesting thought, but I don't think the long leaved one is a bluebird, I believe those have a white haze and have a red edge.... but I probably have to grow it for a few months in bright sun to help i.d. it further. I just love the silver dollar jades, the blue stands out nicely on the shelf of mostly green tones. Yeah, very true gollum sure looks like sub periscopes... ha, visions of it watching me... YIKES!

I used to think Gollum was ugly, but since I own one, I find it very endearing.

Nancy, here is the Glassworks link again:

If yours were paler, it really could be it.

Nice new spring acquisitions, Nancy! I have mine all potted up and hoping to get some pictures up soon! (Thanks again for that package)

Your Gollum and Hobbit leaves are awesome. I was so excited when I got my first "monstrose" leaf like that. The heart-shaped leaf is very unique as it seemed to have just grown like that, rather than fusing with another.

I am definitely interested in seeing how your longer leaf-ed jade turns out with your growing culture. It almost looks like it wants to be a Hobbit but never got the leaves to curl.

Thanks Margaret and Erica. Your welcome Erica, I look forward to the pics :)
Yeah, I really like my new jades, and the monstrose leaves make them extra fun. I need to think about removing soil soon and getting them into the gritty mix, but kinda hectic at the moment.

I just noticed all white baby leaves! They are so cute :)

I noticed sudden browning of the leaves :(
I believe the upstairs was too humid for a day or two... it was also in bright light... anyways I've moved it to downstairs where it's cooler.

Now another tricolor jade in black pot.

Look roots from a leaf, getting ready to fall off. (towards center)

It has a nice shine, like Margaret's and the cutting Deva sent to me.

Nancy

Hey, Nancy! The browning is very typical of this variety, and also typical of the white leaves on other variegates.

Josh

Hey Josh! Thank you. Is there any prevention? So frustrating.

For some reason the leaves on mine haven't browned, although I don't know what I'm doing right. It lives in a cool east window. Lots of morning sun only.

The leaves only brown on my plants when they are outdoors. I've not seen it happen inside.

Josh

Thanks Margaret and Josh. I will be checking it to see if its happier in its new cooler location. Also the hypertufa pot it came in is weird to water... directions said to soak for 10 mins in an inch of water. Not sure how long I will let it stay in that pot.

A fun monstrose leaf ...

There are several leaves that are wide and flat too...

Hollow opening...
Nancy

Yeah, in the unknown leaf shape category hobbit/gollum combos are a winner! Similarly, I love the variegated jades for unknown green & white variations on new growth.
