Not even a vase of flowers. Jades (true name Crassula something-or-other) are very hardy once established and like hot dry conditions. Mine are about four years old and have all grown from cuttings from the original which is also out there, which was itself a cutting I took from a very large Jade years ago. They should eventually reach about five feet tall by four or five feet wide. They do well in pots, but more frequent watering is needed then as pots tend to dry out more.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-85888230975763047972018-08-06T17:29:40.871+09:302018-08-06T17:29:40.871+09:30Val; not all jade plants do flower, mine are the b...Val; not all jade plants do flower, mine are the big leaf ones. I have a small leaf jade in a pot, it doesn't flower at all. My jades haven't finished growing yet. I've seen some in older gardens that are as tall as me and as wide as they are tall. in full flower they are quite a sight. I think Lola is just being a cat, don't they all sleep about 22 hours a day?Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-13008414997268091562018-08-06T17:27:13.192+09:302018-08-06T17:27:13.192+09:30Arkansas Patti; jades grow fairly large, mine aren...Arkansas Patti; jades grow fairly large, mine aren't fully grown by a long shot, but it might depend on the position. Mine have a lot of root competition from the plum trees behind. They like hot, dry conditions and once established only need watering if the summer heatwaves don't relent. You'll notice when the leaves begin to yellow and shrivel. Holding back on the water brings on more flowers.<br />I hope Lola is okay too, the hardest part is getting her into the carrier.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-26911767043584677722018-08-06T17:23:50.862+09:302018-08-06T17:23:50.862+09:30messymimi; I love the fairy gardens :)messymimi; I love the fairy gardens :)Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-84305764292725375052018-08-06T11:57:06.570+09:302018-08-06T11:57:06.570+09:30I didn't know Jade plants had flowers either. ...I didn't know Jade plants had flowers either.
