DP - here -

Thank you, Rina! Oops, didn't mean to duplicate post. Not sure if I can delete the dupe, couldn't see an obvious way.

Thanks for your advisement, I appreciate it! I thought so much as the generic & Crosby but wasn't totally sure.

Thanks for the tip on the light - I have them in a full direct light west-facing window, and I don't have an east-facing one in my place, so that may be the best I get for them for now, but I'm moving soon so will see what happens if I can find a better spot for them. I had thought maybe they were unhappy because it gets a little cold in that room, especially against the window they are near. The second taller one is actually a new growth I planted last year from a piece of a jade I had for years and years and accidentally killed with root rot :( Luckily I at least salvaged a re-growth of it.

1st jade, I agree with Rina it is Crosby's Compact. Mine color up the same way too, burgundy under the leaves. I prune them to keep short and build up the trunk so that later they can be sturdy and support weight.

As Nancy said, Crosby's can grow longer branches than 'regular' jade.

Do not worry if it is cooler where they are - they will be OK even in temps as low as 45*F and I am sure it is warmer indoors. I would keep them on windowsill unless it is very drafty, just make sure they do not touch glass when it gets really cold.

I can see lots of new growth - the green part of stem; you should consider pruning it but not until coming Summer - it will get more etiolated yet :) In the meantime, cooler it is kept, less it should be watered.

Agree with ID’s given above. Can I ask though, has each and every pot got at least one hole for drainage? That is a must, without exception. Can see a saucer maybe under the yellow pot, make sure no drainage water sits in it. Plus their soil should be gritty and fast draining, they certainly don’t appreciate a soggy bottom!

@greenclaws yes, the smaller one actually is in a plastic pot with holes that i just set in the ceramic pot. i let it drain in the sink when watering before putting it back in there.

the yellow pot has drainage holes and is attached to a built-in tray at the base - i usually have to water that one so little or infrequently that water isn't draining out and sitting at the bottom. but this is good to keep in mind and maybe at some point i'll re-pot either for even more optimal - the small one could maybe go up a size at this point.

I would suggest not to use those pots with saucers attached for succulents. Plants watered very little will not be too happy. Even succulents need drink :) When it is time to water - and that is when mix is almost completely dry thruout - they should be watered generously. Excess water should be poured off so they do not sit in it.

Both seems to be too deep inside of pot too: first plant in cachepot should be sitting higher, and maybe more mix is needed - I can't tell from pics posted. It should not be a very tight fit either - restricts air circulation. Jade in yellow pot needs more mix so it is potted higher up.
