Nice collection! I live in San Diego, California, sí these are all like bread and butter down here 😊 …but a cool thing about the _Crassula undulatifolia_ (or ‘Ripple Jade’) shown at 07:20 is if given the space, it will form a nice low mounding shrub. Most jades will get rather fall when allowed to,mbut ripple jade stays three feet or less. Never seen it taller honestly. When they’re planted en masse or in a row somehow, the “undulatafolia” effect is very visible, as it appears to be a seafoam-green undulating wave. They don’t even need to be very mature for that effect to happen. Also you can “bonsai” the crap out of jade plants, make a nice little tree, save the cuttings for new plants, etc. They can grow in shockingly small pots, like a bonsai, and they handle their roots being chopped off like a pro, compared to the delicate trees and shrubs used in traditional bonsai. Anytime a jade is getting unruly, literally behead the plant and stick it back in dry soil. Wait a week, or maybe let it dry it out for a day first. But no fuss, no muss! And the root stalk you cut it from will produce new babies, too… don’t toss that either! The jade you showed after that, the smaller _C. ovata_ is called ‘Crosby’s Compact’, and it’s one that I’ve noticed will actually grow with a nice pendant or hanging growth habit. Great for hanging baskets, elevated arrangements, or anyplace where a succulent can trail. I remember my friend had one of those, years ago, before I knew what it was… I was surprised to see a “trailing jade”, as I always used that nickname for _Senecio jacobensii_ (if you know what I’m referring to). That’s a separate genus; I believe it was recently moved to _Kleinia_ or _Curio_ (with string of pearls, dolphins, watermelons, fish hooks, etc.), and thus is not a “senecio” anymore. It does resemble a trailing jade, though ‘Crosby’s Compact’ is the real deal.
Such a great video, organized and informative! How do you get thise string of dolphins to be so full? Mine grow really well, but the arent full like yours, just gangly.
Nice plants! Do you leave them outside? I'm always worried about the rain as we get so much in Ireland! What are your suggestions for a balcony plant that can take Irish cold and rain?
Bonsai Jack’s gritty mix instead of soil - drains very fast and only holds a small amount of moisture. If the temperature is warm enough and the humidity is low enough that the rain evaporates quickly, you’re probably safe with not developing fungal infections. However, not many “cold hardy” succulents can deal with severe colds for long. Hope that’s even remotely helpful.
SO grateful for your generosity - sharing your collection, insights, helpfulness and kindness with us. Thank you, so very much.
