Updated: August 22, 2002 Crassula Ovata     alt: Crassula Argentea, Crassula Portulacea           Jade Grandaddy All the jade shown here are cuttings from this plant. My First Stem Cutting Planted early in 2001, this cutting was taken from the plant on the left. It's original height was approximately 3 inches, it is now 8 inches high. Another Stem Cutting Planted in May 2001. The smaller shoot on the left is totally new growth. New Growth 2002 Different New Growth Typically, jade buds as seen on the left. This specimen is budding on the outside of established leaves. I believe this new growth will eventually become full stems holding its own leaves. Attempting Leaf Propagation Planted around March 1, 2002, these leaves were also taken from the grandaddy plant. Example of Leaf Propagation I wish I could take credit for getting this leaf to sprout. But I found it just doing it's magic in the bottom of the planter. Successful Leaf Propagation Five and a half months later - the leaves planted above have established themselves. Click on image for larger view.

A Rather Sick Plant As of August 22, 2002 - this specimen is going poorly. I doubt they will survive the fall. Click on image for larger view.

Senecio rowleyanus     alt:           String of Pearls, String of Beads Yet more new for 2002 Purchased from Home Depot on April 6, 2002. Immediately transplanted into 3.5" diameter clay pot. Cutting of the Main Plant As I was repotting the plant on the left, a 'string' fell off. I've stuck it in some dirt and we'll see if it takes. Another Problem Child Although many of the runners have died off (compare with picture above) new growth is happening at the ends of the runners surviving. Click image for larger view.
