I recently got my hands on a grocery store variegated mini jade/elephant bush (portulacaria afra) plant for around $5 (US dollars). The entire seedling pot was actually made of three individual plants, so I split up the pot, adding two of the plants to a larger outdoor box arrangement and planting the third into a small 2" pot for eventual bonsai purposes.

Out of curiosity, I decided to see if I could encourage a couple of tiny trimmings into putting out roots through water propogation. So I put these tiny trimmings into a small vial of water.

We'll see what happens.

Peperomia obtusifolia varig.

Sedum morganianum (Burro's tail)

Nematanthus wettsteinii (Goldfish plant)

Creeping button (another one where I can't find a consistent scientific name, but maybe peperomia rotundifolia)

Portulacaria afra varig. (Elephant bush)

Peperomia hope (another crossbreed)

Fittonia albivenis (Nerve plant)

Echeveria purpusorum (very etiolated lol)

the babies! (Napoli nights, burro's tail, pep. hope)

another portulacaria (variegated. maybe rainbow?)

hoya carnosa (I think this is a pink princess but it is not very pink right now)

sempervivum tectorum (common houseleek/hens and chicks)

hoya carnosa compacta

Mixture of some of the original succulents and some newer, healthier succulents. I don't know how they quite managed it but some of the original plants were overwatered, some where heavily underwatered, and some were perfectly happy.

I'm sorry to be a bother. I purchased a bowl of different succulents. Maybe not the best idea but...I'm wondering if you can help me identify a few. I tried looking it up but was only able to id the aloe plant as aloe humilis. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Omg I never check my inbox so I’m just now seeing this I’m so sorry!! I’m not sure what all of them are but I think the one with the whitish spikes is an aloe Minnie belle. The one with the variegated leaves stretching across the bottom of the second photo is a portulacaria afra I think. I’m not sure about the others. I’ve asked @succygirl for help in the past and she’s always been great!

Plants I have that I let "grow wrong"

starting off tame, goldfish plant (columnea nematanthus) which was separated into approximately 3 different pots when it came to me infested with fungus gnats. It will eventually all be repotted back together in one pot. I hope.

polka dot plant (hypoestes phyllostachya) which, I believe, also came to me infected with fungus gnats and was water propped for... a while. it's happier in the soil but boy are those first water-propped stems long lol

variegated elephant bush (portulacaria afra) which i was so happy to finally find but was (un?)fortunately grown to be more bonsai than bush. i uh... idk what i'm gonna do with these guys. I'm hoping for more top growth this summer so i can maybe chop and prop? Anyone know if chopping the main growth (the longest part) will kill it? I was hopping to re-prop in soil.

peperomia hope (peperomia deppeana x quadrifolia) which just grew downwards for some reason which i discovered one day when the pot was off-centre where I picked it up to water it. The approximately 17 billion other ones I propagated did not do this and continued to grow normally... upwards. Anyway, I love him so i made him a special hanging pot so he can keep being weird.

multiple baby burro's tail (sedum morganianum) the largest of which has been growing for... a while. Yes I know my plants are etiolated. Winter is long and my apartment faces north-west. I have "grow lights" that are just the IKEA bulbs that mimic sunlight because they're all I can afford. I'm doing my best!

Here is The Big Boy version where these babies came from. They're very easy to propagate, you literally just put the fallen leaves on damp soil and they'll grow. (It can take a long time, though). This guy loses far fewer leaves than he used to, but you can see where he was struggling for a while.

hens and chicks (sempervivum tectorum) rescued from outside before the Canadian winter. They sure are... doing something.

For reference, hens and chicks are supposed to look like this

which these did uh... at one point. anyway i still like them a lot. might put back outside once summer comes just to see what happens. Or I might not. Maybe I'll let them be the trailing plant they deserve to be.

More Portulacaria afra, or Elephant Bush! I believe this is the non-variegated form since the stem is more woody and the leaves are green.
