Jade Confusion | Portulacaria Afra vs Crassula Ovata

I made a mistake and confused both the plants!
The one in the picture is a #Portulacaria Afra otherwise called Elephant Bush or Elephant #Jade plant.
The other plant is #Crassula Ovata otherwise called as Common Jade plant.

Thank you so much! more people need this information there's so much incorrect information out there these days that even professional stores like brussel's bonsai sell it under the incorrect name.

[@crazyforplants]

Thank you so much! Your words mean a lot to me. 💚

This is really helpful!
I used to love eating the leaves of this plant as a kid and when i was trying to find what it is called, i was confused why it is "mildly toxic". Turns out I found the Crassula one and not Portulacaria one. It was confusing because they look the same but this really helped me, thanks!

I m a cactus nd bonsai collector, I appreciate your efforts... frankly speaking I was not aware about the difference of Zed plant and Elephant bush plant...I hv 5 varities. I wish to explore more about it.....Thanks a lot

[@crazyforplants]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@harikrishnan2713]

Thank you pal. I was finding a hard time trying to understand the difference.

[@crazyforplants]

Glad you like it!

[@harikrishnan2713]

@@crazyforplants Thanks for replying 😃

[@susanboyd1422]

Thank you. I was wondering the difference myself. I do notice that Jade is lighter in color.

[@shraddharanaware6141]

Explanation is too good. Thank you so much.
I have a question....for bonsai purpose which one is best... common jade or elephant bush???

[@crazyforplants]

Thank you! Although, I haven't tried bonsai myself, I have seen videos of both the plants being made into beautiful bonsai.

[@manasisjutsu8516]

Thank you so much! ❤️ I bought a Jade plant online and turns out it's an Elephant Bush 🤣🤣 I thought I wasn't taking good care of it because its leaves are small and the stems are turning red (rotting). 😭😭🤣

[@crazyforplants]

Glad this was helpful 😃😁

[@paul8093]

I hear there edible taste like sour green apple with salty after taste
Have u tried ?

[@crazyforplants]

I did not know that!! Amazing now I read that it is high in Vitamin C. It makes sense now that the birds love chomping on it. 😀😀😀

[@ArulandArav]

Exactly I had the confusion. And its ur best informative video 👌💫

[@nikhathussain6549]

Thanks to tell about the difference between these two jades , 😊👍

[@crazyforplants]

Glad this was useful. :)

[@nitinwadekar2377]

Thank you for your detailed explanation, it was really helpful..!

[@crazyforplants]

I am glad!

[@sandeepparmar7966]

THANKS FROM VIDEO INFORMATION I GOT REAL INFORMATION...

[@crazyforplants]

So nice of you, glad to hear that!

[@bhumphries1360]

Sounds like you have had that portulacaria afra plant for a while. How long did it take for it to start trailing and vining out like that? Mine is around three inches tall, if even that tall at all.

[@crazyforplants]

About a year and half or so (approximately). It started growing more since I kept it in East facing balcony which receives early morning sunlight. Hope this helps your plant ☺️

[@LoveVirgo]

I've spent two months trying to figure out which one I have. I see from this video, it's an afra

[@crazyforplants]

Glad that the video was useful 😁😁

[@LoveVirgo]

@@crazyforplants very, thank you! yours was really the only one i found that broke it down

[@Jyoti-f9u]

Oh ur so pretty❤...u sound v mike frendly...

[@feix5800]

I bought the right plant then. I want it growing upward like a bonsai instead of drooping.

[@sukritimishra289]

Thanks dear 🌹

[@sindhujaramchandra5988]

Helloo
Iam not able to figure out the difference. How can u helps me plsssss

[@crazyforplants]

Absolutely, if you can DM me pictures on my Instagram, I can definitely help you. Otherwise if you are not too concerned with names, the care is pretty similar so you need not worry. 😁

[@mdascoota4293]

It looks pretty though

[@yasirbaban2071]

Is the care for both is the same.?

[@crazyforplants]

Yes very much the same

[@sandeepparmar7966]

thanks

[@crazyforplants]

You're welcome!

[@lmortega49]

The jate plant is toxic?

[@crazyforplants]

Yes, it is toxic for pets as well as humans.

[@yashagarwal9957]

Nicely explained 🤗

[@crazyforplants]

Thank you! 💚

[@Motiviz]

Main question is Are they both lucky?

[@crazyforplants]

I think all plants have been lucky for me. So I would say yes to both! Happy gardening. 😀

[@Motiviz]

@@crazyforplants all the plants means?? Both the crasula Or others also.

[@vishalsharma2088]

Lighting effects. Your beautiful face was hiding in back light.

[@explorewithvee520]

So does it attract money or not?

[@crazyforplants]

Plants definitely don't attract money! Instead I see myself spending money on plants and think it is a vortex of money. Ha ha. Just kidding. 💚

[@explorewithvee520]

@@crazyforplants only way to make money by plants is selling them
