In reply to the discussion: My 10-year-old jade plant (Crassula ovata) is blooming for the first time [View all]Mousetoescamper
(5,174 posts)44. Thanks for the recommendation!
My 30-some-year-old jade (below) was about five feet tall when it died two years ago. It bloomed every November until five years ago, after I moved into a north-facing apartment with no space to take the plants outdoors for the summer.

You have a remarkable green thumb, Mousetoescamper! Your plants radiate the very essence of jade.
