Any idea what this is??? I got it at a garage sale and they called it lamb's ear, but I don't think that's what it is. The leaves are a little furry.

Crassula - That's the jade family, right? I would agree except it has fuzzy leaves. Is this common??

OK - So should I treat it like my other jade and water it only four times per year? The soil was very moist when I got it, which makes me think it likes more water. What do you think??? Thanks!

i water them when they are dryish. more than 4 times a year, but less than the "houseplants" if that makes sense.

A question - do the leaves smell like Vicks vapor rub when you rub them? I have grown some that look like that and it was called the Vicks plant - sorry I don't know the true name.
