ID for these two succulents? Jade?

9 years ago

Hello! My colleague got this pot two years ago as a baby shower gift, I think there was three at first but anyways now there's these two left and I'm not really sure what they are. I wanted to find out for her. The straight up ones look like something jade related? I have no idea what the leaning over one is. It used to go upwards but it fell over a year ago and has been flourishing (downwards) ever since.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Close up of jade, there's a purple sheen on the underside of the leaves.

Well, you probably know this already, but yes, the one you think is a Jade, is. =) (crassula ovata)

The other one, I don't recognize but thought I'd bump this for ya in case anyone else does.

Aw thanks!! There're so many jade succulents out there anyways, good to know its crassula ovata.
I'll try to take a close up of the other plant.

I'll throw out a guess that the other plant may be an Alworthia 'Black Gem' that is stretching for more light.

Awesome, that's probably right teatree. I looked up pics of alworthia (so cool! aloe and haworthia?) and didn't think it was the same at first but scrolled through a couple more pics and can definitely see the resemblance.

So I guess it's definitely not suppose to be spilling over then...I thought it was a cascading type like string of pearls or other sedums. Haha..well at least it's still creating offshoots. Looks like it needs a bit more direct light than what it's getting now. Oh well..

Thanks!
