The first one I think, is a Christmas cactus that I started last year. The second one is my mama aloe. Can you see the plant in this photo? I believe it is a succulent, but don't know for sure, I do know that it starts from a cutting real easy. The next is all the baby's I took from my mama aloe. The last pic is an adenium, is this a succulent? John Attachments:     |

Very nice John...but you have one more also..the orchid cactus  The adenium is a caudex plant and I think a succulent. It looks nice, the caudex is growing good. Nice pics thanks for sharing. I think your first pic might be an orchid cactus as well..it doesnt look like christmas cactus. Would be nice to see the mother plant if possible. hugs, RR |

You are right, Mary, I do have a start of your Orchid cactus, as well as the leaves of your variagated jade. One of the jade leaves have shriveled up, is there still hope for it? The mother plant is in one of my nurses office, and I do believe you are right, about it being an orchid cactus. I saw a bloom on her plant, and it was amazing, that is why I asked her for a start.

Mary, do you happen to know what this plant is? When Mary bought it for me several years back, all the tag said was, succulent. Thanks John Attachments:   |

I cant see the shriveled up one very good but I would leave it..many times they will wrinckle up and look very dead before they root. Just do not give them any water, it takes a month or so before they start to root and even then it is slow going. Bt if you are patient you about 3 months you will have cute little thriving plantlets There is a chance with the verigated leaves that they will produce the solid green jade so ont be suprised if that happens. But there is also a percentage that will produce the verigated so we can just hope. RR |

The plant in question is a variegated peperomia. I have the solid green one. Your orchid cactus may be night blooming cereus, too. I think we discussed that last year? Maybe? |

You are probably right, Carolyn, you know how old minds are, they wander off never to be found, unless someone jogs their memory.  I think also, that you Identified my plant in question, last year, but then again it must be the mind thing. Thanks to both of you.John |

Your nutshell is quite varied, there, bugnut! I was just talking with my son today, and he was telling me all about his aloe that he just divided. It was terribly rootbound. It was from one I had given him years ago. Now, I don't have one. They all finally died. He said he'd give me one of the babies. Isn't that ironic? |

I think I forgot one, if Mother of Thousands, is a succulent. These plantlets were given to me by LouAnn, my neighbor. John Attachments:  |
