My friend Mitch moved last week to New York. I’ve been eying his collection of succulents for a while, so I was thrilled when he offered me some of his plants. I fit as many as I could in my car but I had to leave a few behind. I don’t have a lot of experience with succulents and cactus. The few times I’ve tried to grow them I have either over watered them or left them to die in the frost. I’m hoping I can keep these beauties a live for a while. I also picked up a nice sized Bay Tree and this Jamaican Hot Chocolate pepper from Morning Sun Herb farm. It’s described as an extremely hot and smokey Caribbean pepper.
Update my friend at A Succulent Life was able to share her expertise and provide me the names of these beauties.
Jade Plant or Crassula Ovata
Spoon Jade or Gollum Jade, or Crassula Portulacea
Haworthia attenuata
Elephant Bush, or Portulacaria afra
I think this one is my favorite. It originates from Africa and is snacked on by elephants.
Faucaria tuberculosa
