    Can anyone identify this plant? I know it can grow large but what I have is housplants. Its slow grower, "leaves" that fall off into the dirt propogate with no effort on my part. Reminds me of a jade plant but not flat. Got from a friend who had no idea either- he got a starter from someone who had one several feet tall.

    I think it is a jade plant as well. Crassula ovata 'Gollum'. There are lots of forms of jade plant, but this one is quite different.

    thank you.. I have just never seen one with rounded elongated leaves, never flowers. Perhaps a Crassula Portulacea ? ( cristata ? )
    Thanks again for such prompt reply! Knew i came to the right place!!
