Somebody must have misidentified your plant. It is a poorly grown Rhipsalis
cereuscula.

No surprise there.

The common "Jade Plant", correctly named Crassula ovata has in the
horticultural literature incorrectly been listed under the later synonyms
Crassula argentea, Crassula portulacea and Crassula obliqua. All the names
refer to the same species.

The original plant to be identified in this thread still is not a member of
the Crassulaceae, however.

Oh yeah, I knew that, but my guess would have been an Opunita, or an
Orchid cactus grown very poorly. (some of mine looks not unlike the
one questioned here.)

You are not even close and you have the wrong plant family altogether.
The plant is a stem succulent not a leaf succulent.

Crassula lycopodioides is a synonym for Crassula muscosa anyway.


That reminds me of something I wondered about. I plant I have known
as Crassula argenta seems to be being called C. ovata. Are there two
similar palnts, or a name change, or am I just confused as usual?

Thanks

If it's different than mine, I sure can't tell. I assume my plant's ID is
correct, since I grew it from a little piece that fell off a plant in a
botanical garden (yes, it really fell off). If I can figure out how, I'll
put up a pic in a.b.p.g.
OT, Another thing I'd like to figure out how to do is cancel posts... Using
OE, I highlight the message and go to "Message", and click "Cancel message".
Even though I get a message saying the cancellation's been sent, nothing
ever happens.

Some servers do not process cancels, they say they are too easy to
fake.

Some news services don't honor cancel requests and for those that do, it
may take a while for the cancelation to take effect. It's also possible
that your post is still cached locally and won't disappear until you
refresh headers or some such.

Hi there,

This is one of the many members of the species
Crassula, it may be Crassula Lycopodioides or
otherwise it's a very near relative. It requires the
kind of soil that's being sold for growing cacti, it
may have trouble growing in ordinary soil.
It doesn't need much warmth but it does need a
lot of light, especially during the winter!
During the warmer months of the year it requires a
usual amount of water, during winter time watering
once every three weeks is enough.

He did. later in the thread. Read it and learn.

Ok, I think I got it now. My teres looked just like that when it was
rooting. But I see in the pic that if it were teres, the newer leaves would
be a little bit longer, and growing at a slightly smaller angle. If I hadn't
just spent a half an hour comparing photos of the two, I'd never know the
difference in such a young specimen.

Thank you very much. All of you. :) We were given some cuttings of this
plant, and told that it was called a "cigar plant". After the poor growth,
I decided to look for help, at which time I realized that this was not a
"cigar plant". Thanks for the advice, now perhaps we can give this plant
what it needs.

Speaking of giving the plant what it needs (I'm about to search the net) -
any tips? Right now we have a couple of cuttings in a medium sized indoor

If you don't know the answer or even have a clue, you shouldn't make badly
lame guesses.

If you are so bad at observing that you cannot tell the difference between a
stem succulent and a leaf succulent, your comments only add to the
confusion.

I'm just keeping the rest of you honest and aware of your real limitations.
If you don't like it, you can just sit there and learn something instead of
make an ass of yourself.

I already did answer the question, oh sadly unenlightened and oblivious one.

Your premise is wrong and logic is faulty.

Rhipsalis are stem succulents that have no true leaves at all.

Have you bothered to consider that the person had misidentified your plant
as Rhipsalis teres and that it is actually an etiolated Rhipsalis
cereuscula? Who is this "expert" that identified your plant anyway?

It is best to grow your Rhipsalis as one would a "Christmas Cactus" or any
other epiphytic cactus.

Give it plenty of light but not direct sun light, grow in a humasy soil mix,
allow the soil to go dry between waterings, do not let the plant sit in
standing water, fertilize with a houseplant fertilizer at 1/4 strength.

What in the heck is a "Cigar Plant" supposed to be? Does it have anything to
do with Moncia Lewinsky? Don't you just hate those cutesy common names?
