In my opinion it's ordinary 'Red Horn Tree without a sufficient quantity of light. Normal Hobbit has shorter leaves

Oksana, is there an 'ordinary Red Horn tree' ? I thought they were always variegated?

Thank you Josh! I am glad I did not buy them. Wow, your 'Hobbit' has darn cute leaves. I hope the adult leaves haven't burned too much for you, but I guess that's part of the process to acclimate to your strong West coast sunlight.

Oksana, thank you for your insight! Lovely pot and beautiful coloration you got going on there on your 'Hobbits'

Hi Margaret...all these jade varieties are confusing!

Another tempting plant I did not buy... thought it was pretty cool though.

Nancy

that looks like peperomia ferreyrae?

The ability to synthesize flavonoids is not a variegation feature. All Jades form flavonoids under certain conditions under the lowering of the chlorophyll concentration.

I have agreed with the French on this issue :)

Yes, thank you Oksana, of course, but are the white parts on Red Horn Tree not variegated areas, then, in your opinion?

marguerite

there are not the white (air) parts on my 'Red Horn Tree'. There are yellow parts owing to Carotenoid may be.

Part of my reasoning is that it would be very rare, in my opinion, to find a 'Red Horn Tree' sold as part of a dish garden, other than at an exotic garden center or nursery. That said, rare items are found in unlikely places from time to time.

Josh, your
rationale makes a lot of sense. It's fun to look at the succulent
selections at stores, just it's now tougher to find anything out of the
norm for jades. Good thing I'm not obsessed with echeverias cause I'd be in trouble, plenty of those beauties around.

This is mine it looks the same without the red on the ends

And it gets plenty of light

Maybe it's a "red horn tree"

The spots on the leaves are jus a water marks.

If I may suggest something: in the long run, it would be better to keep jades separate from cacti and add perlite to the soil you are using. When potting up the plants, add little more potting mix so they are not sitting so much inside of the pot - it will improve air circulation around plants and also allow more light on your plants.

I still suggest that it is regular 'Hobbit' and not 'Red Horn Tree.'

Josh
