A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Cacti and Succulents Indoors varigated Jade????

I'm Not sure but I think this is varigated Jade , when I bought this at the store no name came with ~~ Can anyone confirm???

VERY nice, Diane! Yep - it looks just like my variegated jade. I had bought one a couple of years ago, but it was in the family room corner where I just cannot seem to get rid of mealy bugs - have been fighting them for years there, even though I've done everything I've read and been told! It bit the dust, sadly...

Tina sent me a couple of small cuttings from her outdoor jade a year ago - it didn't do well for a long time, but I've moved it, and it seems to be perking up and liking its new spot. I hope it takes off - I really like the colors!

ooooh i like that! beautiful!!

Ohhhh Cooool!! Thanks Lynne!!!! Right Now I have mine outside I really don't know the lighting requirement. I have it on a rubbermaid shelf on the second shelf so it doesn't get direct sun So far soo good , anticipating this summers heat I may just leave it there ,, I bet it really has to grow and mature before it will bloom Huh???

The strange thing about mine is... I had it by a southern window in this room - gets morning to mid-day sun during the winter, and moved it into Brian's room in the [color:#CC33CC]EXACT SAME window setting - just a few feet down the hall here. For whatever reason, it's doing better in there!?!

I'm going to try and get Tina in here to answer your questions, Diane - I do think that my cuttings came from a pretty large bush of it in her yard! [/color]

Ohh wow She had it in her Yard??? Awesome!!!!! Thanks for putting the word out to Tina!!! I appreciate Ya!!


Hmmm Strange how it likes it better in Brians Room But I'm glad it likes it in there so you don't have to worry about losing it!!!

It does look like a v.jade. It will take as much light and heat as you can give it. Mine grow to about four feet tall here outside. Some of them didn't take the unusual freezes this year and are looking raggedy right now. But they can take quite a bit of cold if necessary.

Ohhhh Tina that is great New!!! Even as hot as it gets here stays in the hundreds for weeks at a time in summer??? is the pot I have it in appropriate size for now??


Thanks Tina!!

This is not variegated but this one survived the freezing well because it was slightly protected.

I am in semi-desert S Ca. We get temps as hot and dry as your, I think. I just don't know how cold (sustained) it gets there. We had freezing for a week or about and all of the jades survived, even if they don't look their best right now.

Yes, that is a good size pot for it right now.

That plant is [color:#CC33CC]ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! [/color]

I just can't even imagine growing a jade like that!
I am happy with my small ones in pots!!!

It's so fascinating to see how different plants grow differently across the county, ya know? What we treasure as houseplants here, are grown as outdoor plants there! Also... in Florida a few weeks ago, there were numerous [color:#CC33CC]ficus hedges! Well... if one is able to keep a ficus as a houseplant here, they are doing something right! [/color]

WOW is all I can say Tina!! I'm blown away at the size of that!!!


Where is that big chunk of that in the mail for me Tina!!!

WOWOWOW!!! I only have a small jade plant, and have heard of them getting big, but Tina, yours is HUGE!!! That is really cool!!!

And I think of jades as "background" plants. They are here, there and everywhere around here. Kind of un-noticable. They bloom pink in mid-winter and I don't care much for pink blooms. i grow jades because they are easy and just do their thing without much care.

Hmmm Makes me wonder if We can grow them in ground here!!???? we generally have very mild winters this year was the first for a longer winter with colder temps in over ten years.

That huge, blooming jade is simply awesome!!!
I, also, am wondering how mature they have to be before they bloom.

Diane, your varigated is so pretty. I enjoy things that are 'different'.
If you ever feel like you could remove one leaf and send it my way I would be so happy!!!

Shirley!! I need it to grow a little bigger before I makes starts off of it,, But once it gets to where I need it to be I'll be more than happy to share!

Thank you

Oh, wow! That's gorgeous!!!
I've never seen a vareigated jade before, thought they were just green. Learn something new every day :O)

I didn't know either I'm glad I happened up on this one!

I was lucky enough to get a cutting of a variegated jade last week. I can't wait for it to root and start growing. :-0

Ohhh Good Amany!!! Be sure to post a pic when it gets established!! I'd love to watch the progress This is new to me , I've never been good with jades BUt I'm going to really do my best with it!!

diane, can you post a picture of the one i sent you by matthew?

Angel, I'll post a picture of it today or tomorrow. Once the batteries I use for my camera are recharged. It's a scrawny thing right now. I know it will be lovely by this time next year though.
