This first one is of a Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade. I am so proud of this little plant because I have been growing this since last fall from a LEAF! It is doing great and I am so happy with it...it is time to pot it up to a bigger pot and I am just so thrilled This is a tuberous begonia I was groing outside but I think it was getting to much sun so I brought it in the house and put it under a grow light...this is how I have been rewarded! This is a volunteer sunflower from my birdfeeder and its little flying friend.
Great photographs RiverRock!! I love your Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade. Neither wonder you're so proud of it. I would be too if I'd grown it from just a leaf. Your begonia is a lovely colour and I like the little furry friend you sunflower has visiting it.
Thank you very much Eileen! I love to take pics and this has been such a fn year for me. So many new begingings and thing I have never grown before. Just been a blast.
Great looking plants you have there, that begonia is beautiful. I have been meaning to get a 'Gollum' Jade plant simply because of it's name. Congrats on getting it grown so large just from a leaf, good job. I have killed whole plants but never gotten a leaf to grow
The problem most people have with Jades is overwatering. They dont need a lot of water being a succulent plant. I have several types of Jades and I still kill one once in while..like a very nice Gollum bonzai Jade I had that I killed at the begining of summer when I moved it outside for the summer and over watered it.
I really like your Crassula. I absolutely love how you can start many succulents from just leaves or stem bits and make as many as you want. It's like buying one plant and getting many many more for free.
