Rina,

Aren't those the most serendipitiously fantastic finds!?!?!? Pardon my ignorance, but what is it? An Adromischus?

And good for you. Don't stop that music.

Could be Adromischus :) (maybe maculatus)

Thank you...You are right, these are great surprises. I don't know what it is, maybe Adro or - more likely - Kalanchoe humilis?...I never found Adro (except A. cristatus around here). I got them in May, so it's been long time.

Harry

I would love it to be Adromiscus (was just admiring yours and nomen's); but I am not sure. The leaves are quite flat, and most pics I have seen of Adro show 'chubby' leaves. Here is better photo of them:

Anyone with correct ID? TIA.

Rina

Maybe Adromischus rupicola? The leaves on mine get thin when it needs water.

Maybe cooperi. That has flat, fat, round, pointy ....everything leaves. Hard to say from here. You know: flowers.

(still think that maculatus is not that far off)

greets

Harry

Rina, I agree with Harry - that's an Adromischus.

To me, I would say A. maculatus. Good find!

Thank you Harry, Jeff, Mayo...Rina

An update on Adromischus maculatus (?) from leaves - it's been quite long time, got 2 leaves in May 2015:

Good work!!

You are into Adromischus now!!

Maculatus is a fastgrower :) as you can see.

Harry

Looking at the adromiscus leaves used to start new plants, I was surprised to see how long they 'last' - I got leaves in May 2015, and they are still plump, no drying or shriveling yet:

Yes, they last very long and thrive sometomes very slow. I had a Adromischus maximusleaf (leave? - I never know that). It took more than two years before anything happened at all.

I notice a slight differance in potting. I never place leaves upright, but always at bit more down (don't know the word) like this in the picture:

The big one is from the old plant; the four others make together the new plant.. the old leaf /leave will die eventually.

For what this is worth; maybe is planting upright just as good or even better.

Asked: Adromischus maculatus (?)

Happy to confirm it as A. maculatus.

Although it could take a while before the oldest leaf finally gives in IME a single leaf can last 5-6 season at the longest. Upright isn't always the best way to get roots started yet I will sometimes wait for a small root to be visual from an upright then use the angle method Harry discuses.

Leaf rule out: A.cooperi the foliage on them tuck and fold in a ribbon type manner.
