I am going to trim this variegated Jade I started from one leaf. I am willing to share some leaves and a couple of small cuttings for them to have a nice home...
Just let me know by Sunday....

P.S...I guess it's better than going to Walmart and looking for them on the floor, that is if you can find one like this..lol:-)
Wow what a thread that was...

Is there a way to send you an email privately?

Thanks,

Privately I will respond to you, and I promise all of you. No one will miss out who responds and I will send them to where they need to ship to...,that is if you all promise me not to pinch anything off plants without asking at any of the Walmarts or nurseries anymore..lol

It is a "pleasure" to give them a place to live and make others here happy!..I hope down the road with all the wealth of info here, you be able to grow them beautifuly and healthy, and then post them as they grow here..;-)

Yes inlovewithhoyas, it is one of the ones I told you about. You see, you can do it too..:-)!

As a matter of curiosity, when all is said and done, would you post back with how many people asked for cuttings?

That is a very nice plant you have there. Is it very common? I have never seen one like it. I would have love a leaf or cutting of your plant but it seems like so much trouble to ship that across to Southern CA if it is common.

Anyways, it's very nice of you to offer. There are lots of very nice people in this site indeed.

Have a great day!

Sandra

Thanks, Nana

Hope youlre enjoying your jade. I really enjoyed reading the story about your jades journey. =)

I thought it was a part of the main one, possibly turning green and loosing it color, but thank GOD no..Had quite a scare there..Thanks..lol

It occured to me that I started another one right next to it last year, by leaf.. I forgot about it...
I have another Jade, green that is at least 15-20 years old, and when I trimmed that one, I just stuck the leaf on top of the soil..
I never pulled it out. Time to up root..
The first one that comes here after this post and wants it, can have it...It has a great start..

I will post the mother plant asap..:-)

Have a great day everyone!

Actually in the wild, they just fall off the mother plant onto crevices, sand, dirt, whatever and sit there for weeks on end without a drop of rain, and just start to sprout roots. Usually within a month or two..Miracle, isn't it?

I just lay some leaves on sand only, no water, dry sand,in the sun on a window sill, and they sprout roots..
I have rested leaves on top of the soil next to the main plant, not buried, and they grew, even if the plant got watered and the soil was moist for a couple days there after.
I remember one that fell into the crevice of the window sill, and it grew roots..
The key is not to bury it into any soil, and not to keep it wet..The moisture in the leaf itself will give it plenty of life to create it's own new roots, even on dry soil...;-)

By the time the leaf drys up and shrivels, it will have roots. But it will rot if left in damp soil..

Let me know how it goes..k

You get the cutting....:-)

Mike

One more thing...Sometimes I have used ROOT TONE. This seems to make them root alot faster...

I have had single Jade leaves start rooting on my RADIATOR. No mix, no moisture, NO NOTHING! Just time & being left alone will usually do the trick!

I think folks asking for single leaves are likely to be disappointed (sorry Mike) w/ just one. It could well be that by the time you get the leaf & really get used to doing NOTHING to it, it will have wrinkled & dried up & died.

If it were me making the offer to share leaves, I'd send a minimum of 3-5 leaves per person. Any less is likely to yield disappointment.

Sorry Mike, I'm not trying to de-rail your offer; but rather to make it more realistic & less prone to disappoint.

You should'nt have to opologize for wanting to see ayone not disappointed, and for your ideas......:-)

Who said I was only going to send one? lol

Even at that, well protected, one leaf would make it longer than a few days wihtout dying..You know that. You have left them on your radiator unprotected. I have found them to root in a window crack. I have rooted one after days on a table in no soil at all. half wrinkled up..
A couple of days in the mail won't hurt a leaf. You know that..Tough things they are..

But still very thoughtful. If you want any, just let me know too, since you were kind enough to care..:-)

If you all get more than one leaf, you can blame it on pirot girl now....You owe all owe her a huge debt of gratitude..:-)

Thanks, and I hope you are well Karen....God bless..

Pirot girl....You never contradict yourself, but catch others doing it all the time....What happended here?...lol
Guess we are all human...:-)

"I have had single Jade leaves start rooting on my RADIATOR. No mix, no moisture, NO NOTHING! Just time & being left alone"

"It could well be that by the time you get the leaf & really get used to doing NOTHING to it, it will have wrinkled & dried up & died".

I think they will be ok in the mail left alone with NOTHING done to them for a couple of days..

You gave me a laugh today....I needed it...Take care and be safe...;-)

"not to sound mean".

You wanted to mean after reading this on your thread..

"You appear to be speaking out of both sides of your mouth".

No need for getting even or making someone feel bad..Not here...That person has much to offer here...And is human.

I respect you for your ability to be kind after that thread too....You deserve an opology by many for being attacked, but at the same time, I am proud of you for not being scared away from these forums and lurkers who are hell bent on making others feel bad by making themselves heard, and pushing others..For holding back more than you could of, and being brave, I am sending you more than I intended too.:-)

This is a great forum, let's keep it that way. And anyone else who thinks of taking any sides here, please don't. It's about being human and being able to learn from our mistakes, fumbling up on our words,criticizing where we don't intend to hurt a poster, and succeeding and failing at what we do. We are here to help and overlook...

So far I have no one to be mad at, or hate, even though some here probably don't like me, even though I have been pushed.. We are all entitled to our opinions.
Remember, we are not here to make friends, if we do by chance we are lucky, blessed, as I ahve been, but we are here because we all have one thing in common, we love our plants..:-)

oh well.... sry about that pirate girl

Ok....18 friends here will be getting their leaves and cuttings soon. I mailed them all out this am..

Goodluck everyone. There should be instructions on how to root leaves and cuttings on these threads. It is easy:-)

Linda to answer your question...To keep the trunk fat, roots healthy, and to have filled out, well rounded shape...I love my jades small with a thick trunks

Nite

Mike..:-)

thanks for being thoughtful!

Sherry

Soon, this plant will be the dominant life form on the planet. Way to go, Mike! ;)

I'm kidding of course, but if all of those leaves are neglected properly, it could happen...

:-)

I received mine today...Thank you so much, its BEAUTIFUL!!

As someone who's also sent out plants more than a few times, it's great that you're doing this.

As for everyone else, pay it forward...lol

Seriously, I wouild love to see what they become in a few months....If you think of it, post piss...It would be awsome..

By the way, who was it that lives in Omaha? You poor thing! I can't believe that you are getting more than a dusting of snow...NOT GOOD!

Stay happy everyone...And thankyou for helping me and others for becoming successful at succulants...You are a great bunch of people to interact with!

In fact I trim mine at the knobes, or just about where another leaf can grow from. I like to trim according to what kind of shape I want.

Then root the cuttings..

And you are very welcome....It is good to see ones like you be a part instead of lurking....:-)!

Mike..:-)

For Sedum info. just do a search on Sedum & you'll find lots of info; you'll need to determine WHICH Sedum you've got. You could also check the pix of them at Desert-tropicals.com.

Mike,

Could you perhaps mean you trim them at the 'nodes' (the name for the joints or knuckles of the plant where new growth would come from on these)?

I had a feeling I might have used the wrong word after I posted...I am glad someone understood..:-)

Thanks PG..

It will grow compact for sure while the trunk will only get thicker..

The last pic is another Jade I have growing along side of this one..

and

Nice! Thanks for posting these pics!!:-)

Cactusmharris...I sure wish I get some of those one day!

Thanks for shraring your pictures!!

Nancy, thanks so much...Yours will look like that some someday with all your awsome weather down there 80% of the year.:-)

It will probably grow alot faster than mine did..Yahoo!

Jade Man,
we've been calling this Jade 'Peek' for a while, name provided by Norma. I can't recall, but there might be some subtle difference in the striping or variegation between this sport and the others.

Norma,
could you post a picture of Crassula ovata 'Ruby'?
I would truly love to compare images of a Jade from my collection, which you tentatively identified as 'Ruby' a few years ago. It is a small-leaf Jade if that helps narrow it down.

Josh

:-)

Mike, my cuttings are healthy and happy!
The cutting that flowered during the winter is finally sending out a new pair of leaves.

Josh

Nice Julia!

Josh, glad to hear yours is putting out some leaves.

Here's mine. Mike I gave my sister a cutting of your Jade...so add Las Vegas to the list of places your cuttings went to :o)
It is doing well so far.Mine lost all its pretty red colors, but so has most of my Jades, they are also pretty much dormant right now. It is waaay to hot and humid for them. I even had to move them away from the sun...its been 100° for several days now.

Josh

Thanks guys.

Hug

Mike

When you originally posted this thread, I wasn't that big on Jades, but knowledgeable and enthusiastic Jadeites like Norma, Josh and you have converted me.

If you ever do any more Jade pruning, let me know!

Christopher

I will let you know when I prune real soon..

I promised Norma I would pay it forward, so your in..

Mike..:-)

JoJo

Thank you Jojo...Miss you!
