huge Jade haul- crassula

[morrie]

been eyeing these of at the neighbours place for years -i reckon they must of had more than a dozen 3 foot specimens... anyway the new owners were cleaning up their yard and were throwing most of them out - scored a few... pretty dry but they'll be OK - the only jade i ever killed was from being too wet and rot

i got them monday, tuesday was a fine day and wednesday was forecast rain so i had to do something Tuesday.. i sorted out the ones with roots and sealed of ends and potted them up in anything i could lay my hands on..

Good haul and good luck with them.

Thanks for the update - they appear to be moving along well!

They're looking great. These things fascinated me as a kid. Definitely need to add these to the "To be acquired list".

part of an endless search for the best species for my back yard micro-climate: full sun in summer, no sun in winter
