New to this, lol jade plants/money trees ect and more
 

Hi everyone!

i looked at the suggestions/rules a little, it said it would be a good idea to "introduce" myself but this forum is set out very differently to others i use and i didnt know where to post, so, this is the place i chose and im sorry if im wrong!

a litttle backround, im 26, and ive lived in villages, and in houses full of plants for ...well most of my life, ive had a few, i know little but i seem to manage not to kill many plants, but i wouldnt mind learning a thing or two as i plan to have a nice variety of plants in the near future!

my question though is about money tree's...or jade plants if thats the right name, little succulents....all i know is, apparantly they grow on hills in hot places, they are similar to cactus...cactai, and they are really nice plants...although a little "brittle" lol! they dont like a lot of water...at all, and thats all i do know!

my little plant....was a leaf i took from someone elses plant and just stuck it in the soil....which at the time was literally just the rubbish in the garden........recently i re potted it into a small pot with "compost" from a bag....originally bought for tomato's. ....... but, because i dont water it ...much at all maybe 1 or 2 times a week.....the soil is dry ish...and the plant looks like it will topple over! its very young still only 10 leaves, it gets a good dose of sun as its sat on the window sill and the sun hits it....for a while a day but not midday sun.

do these plants require a certain type of soil? say one with pete in it? or maybe some other type? also at the bottom of the pot i put a little bit of smashed up terracotta plant pot....for drainage

any suggestions welcome also on other plants....i have a few spider plants, a mother in laws tongue, a nice aloe plant.....and well thats about it!

THANK you if you read all the way through this

is it just my imagination are are you all quite ignorant? at least someone could say something, this is how you treat "amatuer" people with an interest in plants fauna and gardening in general? not even a hint of a helping word, thanks guys , may you all have a greenfly infested summer!
