A Few Pictures and a Question

9 years ago

Hi fellow GardenWebbers,

I'm sharing a few pictures, and I have a couple of ID questions.

Since moving everything outside for the summer, a number of my succulents have simply exploded with new growth, especially the jades, the rhipsalis pilocarpa, and the Thanksgiving cactus. What a difference being outside made, even though they are located in a South-facing window year-round! Watching the colour changes has been fun as well - most of the succulents are sporting lovely 'tans'.

I apologize for the somewhat blurry pictures; they're taken with a phone. Here's the Thanksgiving cactus:

One of two jades in question - crassula ovata ssp ???

It's a bit etiolated - it was purchased as four plants in one pot, and had clearly been missing sunlight for a while. It, and the others that were with it, now have plenty of new growth, but I'm still considering hard pruning as they're just so leggy.

And the other jade, which I guessed to be crassula ovata "Crosby's Compact". I could very well be dead wrong, though, so please chime in! It's also been absolutely exploding with growth, and the old growth has turned a gorgeous maroon colour.

I hope that you, all of my fellow GardenWebbers, are enjoying your summer!

rosieroo, that jade is beautiful! Why is it so red? Is that just the species or something? Mine gets a pretty red on the edges when it has direct sunlight, but not like that!!!

Deva,

Thanks! It didn't turn dark red until I brought it outside for the summer. The edges were only slightly red before that. I'm not sure about the species.
