Difference between jades

9 years ago

Wondering if there is a difference between compact mini Jade and a baby jade. I have multiple rescue plants of each. Can't tell tell apart without looking at tags at this point. Is it different sellers putting their own name on or does it come down to eventual height?

Can you post photos? Portulacaria afra is often called baby jade - which it is not.

If plants look exactly the same - maybe they are. IIRC, there is no baby jade.

Can take different pics in daylight. Have others as well, some named differently.

All look to be the same type aka Crosby's Compact Jade. Agree it's the growers trying to give yet another name.

What greenclaws said! I'm in the pacific northwest, usa and I see sellers using Crosby's Compact and Mini Jade/baby jade for the same plant

Being a Jade fool, I buy any new name I see only to discover it's already in the collection.
