I have a Jade plant my 4 year old grandson calls it my fingers plant.He says if anyone loose's a finger mom mom has a bunch of extra one's
.
Do succulents in general like being pot bound or root bound?? Most of my plants do (Hoya's,Epie's,holiday cactus etc...).I potted this plant last summer after the puppy ate a few fingers then managed to get the plant out of it's pot.It recovered beautifully.I had little pieces of quartz under it, preventing soil splashing on the "fingers", I removed them after it had been in so much rain & found some roots at the top,pulled plant from pot & found roots wrapped around soil enough that the soil came out the shape of the pot.
My elephant bush,still in the first pot after I rooted it.Also came out of it's pot with roots wrapped around the outside of the soil.I am assuming this means root bound,but it wasn't "really bad" no roots were coming out of drainage holes or anything drastic.
Last question i bought a small jade plant when re-potting found 3 plants in the pot.I re-potted the same way.If i want each of these to grow big when should they be put into separate pots?
Are these jade's the kind that get big,the tag said baby jade plant??
Now a picture show
1st. is fingers
then the elephant bush
then the 3 jades in 1 pot
I have noticed some spots on the jade's,could it be from having all 3 in the 1 pot.
I did get a picture of this bug is it a good or bad bug
Thank you for just reading my questions that went on & on!!!
I am fairly new to succulents but if i'm going to grow them it should be done with some knowledge and I've found a lot of that here.
HAVE A WONDERFUL SUNDAY
