Jade lovers delight

I might prune it harder..

I've pruned mine WAY back, no leaves at all. They come back fine, with smaller leaves.

Is there a prize for the ugliest jade? I think I got it

You win!

You win!

I warned you it was ugly. I can redeem myself with my other one. But it needs pruned badly but its decent.

I'd chop it down to a couple of inches, you can use the rest for cuttings.

 

[Kullas]

Its not bad that its ugly it brings contrast to everything around it.

 

[brainfree]

Ha ha. Yup!! That's pretty ugly.

Ok i put lipstick on a pig. I call him Gorge.

I just acquired this a few months ago from a lady who has had this jade for 35 years! Unfortunately the lady is at an age she can no longer take care of the jade. I am trying to figure out what I would like to do with her. I know I’ll take a couple cuttings because she’s so large but not sure what other steps I might take.

I repotted my C. ovata in mainly akadama. It fared much better this winter than in the previous years.
I took it outside a couple of weeks ago (very mild weather here, even unusually hot : 29°C on Tuesday!), and pruned it :

Perhaps I should have been bolder, and prune it back harder, but to be on the safe side, I decided to keep two leaves on each twig. It's been very hot here for the season, and I put it in full sun. If more light through the branches induces lower buds, I might prune it harder...

I like it, I would have pruned it back further but each to their own

Ok now I feel the need to bring out my boring ones . The white spots are just lime from the faucet water.

People say the same about me!

O there is beauty in everything, just sometimes you have to dig for it. The real question is how deep ya got to go

I was pruning up some of my jades today and thought I’d share

The...

Variegated p. Afra forest.

... looks really great and deserves a "real" pot.

All the more deserving praise than you live in Minnesota, which is not the best place to grow Portulacaria.

Kudos on you !

Here are some massive Jade cuttings I am trying to root. My parents were doing some landscaping and they were set to tear out the 40+ year old jade I had grown up with. I decided to try and save it, but the roots were way under the cement, so cuttings were the only option:



I've rooted many jade cuttings, but nothing even close to this size, so no idea if this will work. Wish me luck!

I'm certain it will root, but it may lose a lot of leaves before it does.
