Jade ID Please

11 years ago

Was at my parents' house and my dad told me to take one of his jade plants. I'm was never aware he even had them. I'm curious if anyone knows what type they are. They don't seem to be anything special to me but they are large and well neglected (which they seem to enjoy)

24" pots for reference

This one has a little frog friend making it home.

The plant is a Crassula ovata, but I don't know the species of your little frog friend! =P

Thank you for the ID! I don't know the ID of the little frog either but the 100 million of them around here at the moment are very loud.

Can I just send them anyways? Those and all the newly hatched mosquitoes. :)

Haha, Neil, are you going to say this on every thread for a while? Maybe you could import some exotic animal that survives solely on mealy bugs!

Nicholas, if you want to, post a picture showing the trunks of your new plant.

Here you go. Yes I know this is way too much peat for jade but it seems to be doing ok and I'll keep rain off it until I can repot. This is the pot that had the frog on it, I found out these were actually my grandmothers before she passed a few years ago. Since then they've been growing like a weed I guess since I remember them in 8" pots.

A lot of leaves fell off because I couldn't get it into my car without giving it a bit of a push.

I think I'll send Neil some more mealy bugs for tempting me with pretty new cuttings =P
