My Jade plant

That Jade plant is pretty cool.

wow.
The jade plants here mostly cling to life.
That said, they're ancient -- some are pushing a century old (in Mrs. H's family).

A century old is young for a Jade plant. I was told once that they do not start blooming until 75-80 yrs old. Mine is every bit 100 yrs old (well the parent plant would be ). My grandmother gave me the start from a plant she got as a teenager from her mother. If my gma was still alive she would be over 100. I got the start as a teenager, I'm over 55. The secret I found was they need darn near freezing weather. I do not bring mine in until after the first frost. After nighttime temps fall into the upper 30's I bring in to the covered back porch until temps fall into lower 30's. Once inside I put it under 4 fluorescent grow lights. I use sylvania 8000k sky bright bulbs at 14hrs a day.mhardy6647 wrote: »wow.

This one is 5' tall. I also have a finger Jade that I can sometimes get to flower it's only 45yrs old. It nevers blooms near as much as the flat leaf Jade but the flowers are ver similar.
Thanks guys.

again, just, wow.
A semi-related aside: We used to have one jade plant that got so big we started having trouble finding pots to hold it -- it turned out that a well-known bonsai place a town over from us in MA would adopt wayward plants, and they gladly took it from us to give it a new home. This place, apparently, is very well known in the bonsai biz -- their facility is remarkable: part store and part exhibition. If one ever finds oneself in Littleton, MA, it could be worth a visit!
It's close to I-495, so easy to get to (at least by New England standards)!

kinda gives new meaning to the phrase "in living color", doesn't it?
I think it is ironic that that's the ectoskeleton of a black and white TV.

meanwhile, from back in the days (1968, in this case) when the vacuum tube hifi components were cheap and in low demand, since everyone was clamoring for that smooth, cool, hum-free, instant-on transistor sound.
