I'm a proud father
My jade plant
So chuffed
Had it years - the jade plant. Quite big now - more a mini-bush. I've always seen it as a challenge to water it without dislodging part of it - the slightest knock and a small piece drops off. Bit annoying. I've always chucked the bits in the bin. About a week ago, same thing happened - bit fell off. I had the kitchen door open and went to chuck it in the garden - thinking it might grow. It then dawned on me that possibly this is why the bits are falling off - to grow
So I've got this bit of plant in my hand and need to pot it. Found a spare paper cup from when I took a week off work and went on day trips with my mate. Borrowed a bit of compost from the dragon palm in the living room, and potted the bit of jade plant. Watered it gently and waited. Not much was happening - still green though. Then the other day it started sprouting new leaves
I got it a new, large pot and some compost. Just potted it now. I can't get over the roots it's formed - loads of them. Thin and delicate but definitely roots. In such a short space of time. So it's currently sat in a new pot - fingers crossed it will continue to grow. I usually kill green things. Dead chuffed with it.
