    Be careful, Jeff! Those 2" pots are addictive! LOL

    Now you tell me. I don't have the great outdoors all year round either. It's so hard to stop. There might be just one more that could be a real winner.

  • 7 years ago

    Further to what Crenda said - you may end up with too many...


    Most grown from cuttings, many from leaves - and there are more, lol.

    Great looking jades everyone, many thanks!

    SLD, yes there are at least two kinds of Maruba Nishiki, the striped version contains areas that are non-bleachable (from the sun) whereas the other kind the entire leaf is sunbleachable. Your (non-bleachable) Maruba Nishiki has a great amount of the stripes, mines more subtle. I'll try to get pics later.

    LOL Crenda and Rina... absolutely agree!! Just a few jades can turn into a epidemic ;-)

  • 7 years ago

    stupidlazydog, apparently there are two types of Maruba - the one with green leaves and the newer leaves a bright yellow, with the occasional yellow dot on other leaves - this can turn all green in cooler, darker days, and the type like your striped one, which is variegated, and stays that way. I have not enough experience with the two types to confirm this, but on a Facebook jade forum, Planet Jade Tree, this was said, and furthermore, it was explained that the green and yellow one is simply called Maruba, and the variegated type is Maruba Nishiki. I have a difficulty with this, in that I had the type with green leaves and bright yellow ones, and now this is producing variegated leaves also - I really wonder if there is not just one Maruba Nishiki after all. I love this jade no matter what its leaves are like - it never seems to get blotches and the leaves are lovely and silky, with what looks like a decorative stitching all around. There is also a soft, misty look to some of the green leaves which doesn't occur on any other jade that I have seen so far. Every leaf used for propagation produces a perfect little Maruba, they always seem to come true.

    My strange Gollum. Severely pruned in spring. Direct sun all summer. The leaves don't look typical, but I at least like how compact they are.

    Thanks, Nanzjade and Marguerite.

    Nanzjade, I'd love to see pics of yours, My cutting was all green when I got it, and then bleached out and developed the striping.

    Jeff

    Not sure, but maybe it is 'Skinny Finger' - here is drawing from Josh:

    Or 'Monstrose' if the leaves are variable (they are on my plant).

    Rina, I think you're right about the skinny fingers. I just looked at the old photos of the plant, and to my surprise, they don't look typical either. I had forgotten, and even though I had seen that drawing, the skinny fingers passed right by me. Thanks.


    Only problem is, now I want a regular one too.


    I have leaf cuttings of this that do look typical to me, at least for now. 1 1/2" pot.

    Thank you Margaret for the wonderful explanation! Will catch up soon :)

    SLD, current picture of Maruba Nishiki, the stripes are tough to see, still could use more sun.

    Same plant as above, picture from last summer. It shows the stripes better. Mine too was all green when I got it from a kind friend, and when I saw the variegation I was stunned!


    I was sent a cutting of Maruba Nishiki this season, and it will be fun to see how the striped variegation appears.

    Hummel’s sunset and Return of Beauty...



  • 7 years ago

    That Return of Beauty is STUNNING Nancy! I’ve been keeping up with this thread but haven’t gotten around to posting mine yet

  • 7 years ago

    Nancy, I have never seen Return of Beauty before. Can you buy it in the USA?

    Sharon, I don't think so but I can hook you up or I suppose Nancy. Just ask us. Good to hear from you))

    Nancy, wow, Beautiful colors. That is why I love the fall. The most intense colors come on.

    CasualSweater, pics please? ))

  • 7 years ago

    Casualsweater, thanks so much, it's a natural beauty and doesn't fuss! I hope to see an update on your jades too. I forget which jades you have btw!

    Mike, thank you! Your Return of Beauty is still young, I'd be happy to send a cutting if you don't want to cut yours yet. (Sharon if you follow me, you'll be able to message me)

  • 7 years ago

    Here we go! I never remember to take pictures during the day so you’ll have to excuse me holding them up against my door with a light angled towards them. Mike or Nancy, if you’re willing please message me to arrange something in regards to the Return of Beauty, I think it’s my new favourite jade! Followed by Maruba Nishiki which I also still haven’t been able to get my hands on.

    Lemon’n’lime

    Crassula no ID, I have 3 of these that came together but this was the only one it made sense to take a picture of. I only purchased these within the past month so they’re still adapting and settling into their new pots and mix.

    Hobbit, this guy took a really really long time to settle after I repoted it. Not much growth for the first 6-8 months I had it, I pruned it fairly hard by my standards last week.

    Hummels Sunset variegata from Wendy I believe, thank you so much!

    A cutting sent to my by Mike of his ‘Mother Jade’ last fall. This one rotted a few times while I was trying to root it so it’s only just picked up and actually put on new growth.

    Gollum, the pride and joy of my Jade collection, it’s actually larger and fuller than it appears in the photo

    Run of the mill Crassula ovata, been experimenting a bit with pruning on this one which is why it looks a little odd at the moment

    Finally, Crosby’s Compact.

    I cant express how appreciative I am of this forum, between members offering helpful advice, the trades I’ve taken part in as well as just distracting me from the tough time I’ve been having during the past year. So thank you thank you thank you all, from the bottom of my heart!

    CasualSweater

    could your NOID be C. arborescense ssp. arboescense 'Silver dollar'? - it has fleshy leaves with 'dots'...

  • 7 years ago

    Rina, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head! Thanks! To be honest I haven’t really had time to try and figure out what it was

  • 7 years ago
    last modified: 7 years ago

    Sharon and CasualSweater here are mine thanks to our loving friend Nancy





    And a few others of mine. Some I’ve already cut up and shared. Still waiting for Buds!







  • 7 years ago
    CasualSweater, message me. You’ll need to follow me to get the message button to appear. Thanks for showing your jades, very nice.
    Mike, my dear kind friend, all your jades are brilliant! I’m amazed at how much the Return of Beauty cuttings grew since Christmas. :) Wow that blushing from the sun is pure awesomeness! I usually get color like that in the wintertime.
    I’ve been seeing a little more color on the jades, so glad the sun has been shining lately.
  • 7 years ago

    Mike, what is the one in pic #4? Love the variegation on that one.

  • 7 years ago

    Mike and Nancy,

    your plants are so nice,

    By the wayMike,the cuttings you sent me are doing really great,if I figure out how to post pictures on here for you to see. Thanks again!!

    Beautiful jade everyone. I did not acquire any new jade this year but I have 1 or 2 on my wish list now from all the pictures. I probably posted my jade trees to this thread before? But here are my jade trees that grouped together - waited to be moved inside - most like this weekend when temperature drops - or could they stay outside longer?

    Mike, great color on your mother red horn tree. I am curious why I can not get that kind of color? Especially the yellow. My hummels sunset is the same, green with a little bit red tint on the edge. Here is the red horn tree you shared last year. Thanks again, bud. The yellow just not showing, must be my growing condition?

    nanzjade z5 MA thanked Rockdale (RI Z6)
  • 7 years ago

    Felix, hello buddy! Your jades are so healthy looking and great job. Wow, you are very good at rooting just about anything.

    To get the right color, you really need to rest them up against a warm wall or something and lots of sun.

    Cool nights and warm sun by day. Mines sit on my flat roof and dry by the evening which allows me to leave them outside when colder too,

    Sharon, how can we help you post a picture my friend?

    Nancy, thank you so much! Very nice yourself.

    Stupidlazydog, hello. I am not sure . I can see if I have a tag that a squirrel has no stolen. Ha

  • 7 years ago

    Maruba from Mike - it took long time to establish and start growing...:

    Red Horn Tree from Mike - little beat up after being swept off the table by strong winds, but I hope it will continue growing:

  • 7 years ago

    Ok, I’m going to take a few pictures and see if I can do it!!

    Mike, all I can say is wow,wow,wow on your plants.

    thanks to Nancy too!!!

  • 7 years ago

    Wow! Mike. You have some very fancy Jade plants. Especially the variegated gollum(?). Where can you find that kind of plant?

  • 7 years ago

    Mike, is that a variegated Skinny Fingers third from the end? Cool.

  • 7 years ago
    Mike, all are beyond amazing and a pleasure on the eyes. I love how pale you get that Maruba! Thanks for posting them my friend :)
  • 7 years ago

    Felix, wow to you too! Nice work.


    Margaret , I am trying so hard to get mines to flower for you.lol I have been looking every day so I can finally show you a picture to no avail. Last year, they were able to stay out longer well into November and I am afraid I have to cut their days short outside this time(((( Ugh. How have you been? e-mail please.

    Thanks for the explanation..By the way, I do have one in which the leaves almost turn white and tan, different coloring patterns and another in which you describe, very very yellow with red margins and coloration. I will take a closer look. I'm pretty sure that I have two different types acquired from Asia for a good friend that once frequented here and live close to me whom has now moved quite a distance.

    Rina, FEED FEED FEED heavily. They are pigs for fertilizer and lot's of sunlight. It will grow big quicker than you know. They grow too fast for me when fertilizing like that, like weeds. Looking good though even if small.

    Jeff, it is. I think so. Josh has the proper name for it. I think there are only a couple in the in this country that have it because they are hard to grow and in which I only gave a couple of cuttings too a while back. My friend that provided it to me in the first place, I am not even sure if he still has his of lost it do to a freeze? I an't remember.

    Nancy, you can do that too. You will. Thanks.

    Felix, from me. Stush has dibs on a piece as soon as I can trim the offspring of the one that died, but I managed to root a couple of cutting before I lost it. I will post an update soon. Had no time today)) Thank God they are growing good. I can only think of a couple that might still have a piece. Woodnative and Josh . For sure I will keep you in mind) Can't remember if Nancy has this one though. If anyone else in the U.S has one, please let's see them))

    Woodnative?

    Mike, never would guessed such a gem is so close to home...Look at your pictures again, so many unusual varieties that I don't even know their names.

    Margaret, what a beautiful little jade! Hope it grows well for you. It reminded me of this leaf grown baby, I believe mine has larger leaves though.
  • 7 years ago

    Yes, Nancy, they are alike, aren't they! How old is your little beauty?

  • 7 years ago

    I believe it was a leaf that rooted during the previous summer. I just fed it, so perhaps there will be some more growth soon.

    ......Margaret....... , I am with Nancy, what a cutie! That is one that does not take up much space and yet is so colorful. So nice. I love it.)) Hoping and wishing you all the best.

    Unfortunately I had to stick on mine in my kitchen because I think it is time to bring them in I was hoping for them to flower before got too cold but the cold is more than one month early so depressing ! I was hoping to post you some buds but the cold weather has moved in much too early for me to let them stay outside to do so. Ugh

  • 7 years ago
    Mike, gorgeous array of colors and plants, where are you going to put them?!?! lol!! Time for your grow lights? I hope they’ll set buds for you still. I had several jades out the last few days, covered at night and I see some freeze damage, I’ll bring them in this evening. I’ll clean them up as they show any dead tissue. I used spares mostly, was a test in a way.
  • 7 years ago

    Mike, great color on your red horn tree. And where are you gonna put all these pots? LOL. The temperature dropped so fast now we are on 50s daytime and 30s nighttime. It's getting cold so quick this year.
