Ripple Jade



The Abandoned Succulent

This plant made me a grandmother. Just kidding. But my daughter did abandon it when she moved out, and she told me to take it with me when the house sold and I moved south. She said it had only survived as long as it did, thanks to my care and attention. Fortunately, it required little of each.

Now, in a south facing Georgia bay window, it is thriving and living a happy life. It has also become a mother to many little Ripple Jade babies.
