A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2005 A baby

My Jade had a baby woohoo. It's the smallest thing I have every seen. I had it in a hanging basket and it was droping leaves like crazy but only where I couldn't see it. I got up on a chair yesterday just to check that everything was all right and it was a 3 alarm alert at the basket. It had lost all of its leaves on the part that I couldn't see. And in the soil near the edge was a little tiny baby jade. I've never seen one that small. So now it is marching back over to the window one step at a time. Silly thing kept its burgandy edges and firm texture through it all. I feel like a bad momma at the moment.

about,well over a year ago i took a leaf from my burro's tail and stuck it in a huge pot i have a ficus tree in,and about a week ago i noticed some tiny bright pistachio green leaves around the bottom of the leaf i stuck in the dirt

so here's to "motherhood"

aren't they the cutest thing?!

yes they are. And I was really hoping to get some because I put it in a big pot after it out grew the first 2.

tk, you should start a minature landscape garden with your "new baby". i'm thinking of doing it with a "new baby" hawarthia and the burro's tail i have a couple of other "babys" from another succulent (not sure of the name)but i have seen pictures of mini landscapes and i thinkthey are real neat looking

Mini Landscapes? Do you have the link? It sounds intriguing, tell me more please. With only the one baby I think it would be a very desolate landscape but I like the idea.

tk, sorry i didn't see your reply any sooner
i don't have a link but i have a book at home that i will bring into work with me on monday.
i'll post it here for you. it's in my time life books

Um Pheonix what about copyright stuff?

Don't want any trouble for you.

I can look it up it's ok.

tk i think the forum has some info on dish gardens, which are similar to mini-landscapes.

Ok, Thanks Phoenix,

I'll take a look see. I may have more baby jade before to long lol. It really lost a lot of leaves and some look like they want to start babies.
