This is my jade plant. I also took the picture with my camera phone. I bought this plant in Tifton, Ga. 7 years ago. We were taking my youngest son for visitation with his bio-mother. It was his last visit with her. When I bought the plant it was only 6 inches tall and in a much smaller pot. This thing is so big that it takes a dolly to move. It needs a bigger pot now as it is out growing it's home. Transferring the thing is a big ordeal cause if your not careful with it, the limbs all break off. Try turning this thing upside down to get it out of the pot..... This is the only kind of plant I can grow...a succulent. Never needs watering...or... well, I can forget about it....alot. Which I do. Hubby is the green thumb around here. I love plants and flowers and love to buy them, but it is a death sentence to them so now I just admire them from afar.

I could spit. I have tried OVER and OVER to grow jade plants. You can almost hear them scream when they realize they're going home with me. They start giving up the ghost the moment they hit the door.
Yours is beautiful. Grrrrrr.
Thank you for the complimenton my jade plant, but really mother nature deserves the credit. I pay this plant no attention at all except when it out grows it's container, which it has, and now I am in a pondery as to how to go about transplanting the thing. It is so huge and very fragile in the fact that the limb can not take much stress before breaking off. I'm thinking I may have to destroy the pot to get it out.
