| What is the third one from the left? |
Follow-Up Postings:
|
| Jade plant, next to the Portulacaria afra (smaller plant) |
|
| The third from left is a jade too? (I know the 2nd from left is). Do you know what specific kind of jade? Thanks |
|
| It is actually more closely related to Purslane, though it is often sold as a Miniature Jade. Likes it real dry, treat similar to Jade. It is native to Africa. |
|
| Okay now I'm confused. Are you saying the large plant (third from left) is a purslane/miniature jade? I'm really just curious about the plant that's 3rd from left. |

| Just trying to help translate/clarify: The smallest plant in the smallest pot is Portulacaria afra (Elephant Food plant... closely related to Purslane), the one next to that one, in the black pot, is a Jade plant. Isn't that what you're saying, Leaf? |
|
| Yes. I've never heard that common name, but I like it. I wonder if it's as tasty as its cousin... |

| I have two of them... can't wait until they look like these! Mine aren't variegated... but look the same. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Elephant Food
