So, Rina, what did you decide?

Didn't buy any, but the GH is only 15min away :)

Ha ha!

I'm no expert but I have plants similar to #2 and #3, at least in the form they're in now, both in my house and in the photos.

I have a single plant of #2 that grows a lot of pups. I've taken some of those and squished them into an oval pot and it looks great. Mine don't grow any taller than that, but it's indoors. See photo below, not that it really helps.

I have two varieties of the taller ones squished into a 10" or so pot. They're about three feet tall. One of them grew a flower stalk for the first time last year. They sent out new shoots and almost busted out of the plastic pot, but they've since stopped growing.

Jeff

Thank you. I am thinking that they are 2 different plants, just the striping looks very similar to me. I have 2 different sans, but haven't been lucky enough for any to bloom yet.

Is this 'Moonshine"?

Ooh, wavy. Those are cool. I almost don't recognize the top one. Some say that Jades are the easiest houseplant. I think these are.

Thank you - that is a beauty! Is that Boncel? They are so neat...mine is a wild one :) like a bad hair day.

Would you know names of any I posted in op???

Go on Rina, you know you want some of them! Let us know which you get :-)

Gill

:) go and buy :) Eventually you will do it, so why not now

...you guys know me!!!...They have few gallon pots of very overgrown Echeveria nodulosa; each plant has at least 5 offshoots/branches. I was tempted o get one and behead it but resisted! (they are at 40%off, that makes it about CD $8).

I actually think that your silver/green one is the fairest of them all. But if the others speak to you, listen ;-). Anything to cheer us up in the cold.

Bargain, go grab some!

Gill

"Fairest of them all" is a great way to put it. One way to look at it is--if the silver ones and #2s are the same height, maybe get #3 for a taller variety. They are like upside-down swords, so be careful. I put mine on the floor of the kitchen next to a window to make more room for more stuff on the plant table, which reminds me of that.

Jeff

The silver one (- I have few pots of it; and think it may be S. 'Moonshine' but am not sure -) is taller than plants #2. Silver is my plant, and so is cylindrica; I took photos of numbered plants for sale in local GH. #2 is shorter, and has wider leaves than #3.

Rina

I will try to find the name of mine. I have misplaced it. The dark plant you show first is S. Hahnii I believe. It also comes as Golden Hahnii which looks like a short/wide S. trifasciata. In an old book of mine the Golden form was called S. trifasciata "Golden Hahnii". The name has most likely been updated since then. If Jeff comes down to the winter show this year, I can send back one of these Sans with him. They are very prolific and flower most every year. The little bit of pink in the flower makes them more attractive than other Sans flowers I have seen.

Rina

Check out the Sans. forum. Stush made a post about 3 or 4 from the top to a site that has a lot of pictures. It looks like all you posted are forms of S. trifasciata Hahnii. That dark one looks like S. t. H. Jade Dwarf. Good pictures.

aloebot

Thank you for that!

I should have posted on Sans forum...and I use Lapshin's site quite a bit - didn't even think of checking it up! Need to excersize old brain bit more often, haha...

Aloebot. How in the world did you get your plant to flower like that? It's a first time I see that on that type of plant. Now I want one. Ha. Beautiful. Do you live south of us?

Rina, by the way, those blacker ones are beautiful Never seen them that dark. I love very dark plants. You should get one! Hope you are enjoying a bit of a warm up lately!

Mike, more flowered this year. It may be because they were under watered and went into survival mode. I live in SoCal where we don't have to put in as much effort as our northern friends.

Aw that's a cute little bloom. My cylindrica put out a spike that is almost 30” tall this year.

Nil, Jeez!! Ok, now I am taken back..lol Nice

RIna the top ones look like 'Jade Dwarf'.....a hahni type. these are nice and dark. You can also find 'Jade Dwarf Marginated' which has a bright yellow edge to each leaf. The second and 3rd photo look like the same to me. I think this is commonly S. trifasciata robusta (?).....not sure the proper naming but it is a "future" type that grows shorted and with wider leaves than the regular S. trifasciata but taller than the birdsnest hahni types. I like the hahnis because I am limited on space and they fit well on a windowsill.

Just saw this. I agree with Woodnative. Some hahnii grown very well in a green house will attain more size than typical hahhii but if over 6 inches it may well be futura which will grow up to 15 inches. And yes that does look like Moonshine.

Unlike Woodnative, I love the taller growing futura class due to them (for me at least) are much more tougher. It grows well for me while I have lost many hahnii over the years but not a single futura.

Many of my sans seems to bloom in December and January when I bring them in. May have some thing said above about shocking them.

I don't own a Jade Hahnii but I do have a Jade Marginated Hahnii which I love.

woodnative and stush

Thank you very much for commenting!

I shouldn't start with another genera, haha...but that black one is really nice :)

From what you saying, birdsnest types are just a touch finicky? I had one hahnii that went very quickly to plant heaven...

Moonshine was given to me, it looked on a way out at the time. It did recover since, and I had to divide it into 4pots. I am treating that one just as any other succulent, in general.
