Re: Start of a Jade Project
That's got some nice trunk movement. I would hold off on the water for a month or so until it regrows its leaves. I've found that they prefer bone dry conditions rather than wet. I let mine go until its starting to shrivel some.

Re: Start of a Jade Project
Looks like a great project! Did you let the cuttings callus over before potting, or just pot them right up?

In other words, Portulacaria afra, and not crassula ovata ?

That is the problem with Taxonomy. They change as we discover more and more. And some are incorrect form the beginning, the reason why Africa lost the name Acacia, for its thorny trees.
I can find you monographs on Encephalartos (Cycad) species in South Africa that still refers to them as Zamia. This doesn't mean its correct, just out of date, or wrongly named.
If you want to call Portulacaria afra, the mini jade, what are you going to call Crassula argentea var compacta?
I rest my case.
