Another Jade

9 years ago

Just bought this jade plant today and it did'nt have a label to say which variety it is. Its around 8 inch tall and the leaves are yellow with some red on the leaf edges. Can anyone help me ID this jade? Thank u

    Beautiful jade! Looks like a Hummel's Sunset because of the red stems on the newer growth.

    I thought it is too but not so sure. Thanks Liz :)

    The red band at the leaf-margin is very distinct, rather than "bleeding" into the leaf surface, so I would assume it is just a well colored Jade. Probably what is usually called California Red Tip. Time will tell, though; if it's a Sunset Jade, the color will intensify.

    I bought a bunch of jade plants with the one pictured above and this one i found in a succulent planter all looking miserable and wilted the leaves almost dried out.I asked the nursery if i could purchase her for me to revive and one of the staff happily dug her out for me to take home. I think its a mini jade variety ( compact jade, minima, baby jade? ) I need some advise on how to make her look happy and pretty again.. Im thingking of chopping off the branches with the shriveled leaves on but not sure if thats gonna work. Thank u

    There is no need to cut off branches with shrivelled leaves - let it get better first :) It may have been kept too dry for too long - you said it was all wilted. Put it in well draining mix - it looks like it is potted in peat. Peat is difficult to get just right moist.

    The reason for pruning branches off should be only if some are diseased/rotted, or to get desired look.

    Thanks Rina. Ive been watering it regularly and the leaves appears to have improved a bit. Will continue to do so until its in a lot better shape.

    I think your Jade is 'Bronze Beauty', one of the Ed Hummel's cultivars. Compare with mine (left - regular Jade, right - 'Bronze Beauty')


    'Hummel's Sunset' vs 'Bronze Beauty'

    And 'Bronze Beauty' now after rain and full sun

    All the best

    I found a
    picture of this plant taken a year ago.. I dint realize it was the same plant when i bought it it was in the same big succulent planter. The leaves were light green as compared to brownish red color now.
