Jade Plant is having an identity crisis or maybe it is a subspecies? - March 17th, 2005 at 06:00 PM
Last year I bought a tiny 2 inch pot with several jade plant cuttings in it. They were almost purple in color and the soil was soaked.
I took them home and planted them in with my other succulents. 3 died the fourth one turned green and grew and grew and grew. It grew right over the pink succulent next to it and had the aloe forced up on the rim of the pot ready to jump out so I repotted.
.....and it grew and grew and grew but not up as I expected but down the sides of the pot. The stems are strong but down it goes every chance it gets and it is still purple around the edges of the leaves rather than brown like the other jades I have had. Does anyone know what is going on with my jade plant?
