# I have absolutely no idea what this is, or where it came from for…

I have absolutely no idea what this is, or where it came from for that matter. it just kinda showed up one day lol. It seems to be surviving on being watered only when the soil is completely dry, and its in direct sunlight if that helps. It’s also a bit more redish on the bigger parts in real life.

Looks like a jade but I’m no expert! 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m pretty sure it’s a Jade plant, which is good because they love direct sunlight and being watered when completely dry! 😁

Full sun for sure. Not watered frequently though! Let it completely dry out after waters or it will get root rot. I water mine every 2-2 and a half weeks! Fill until water is floating on the soil and wait for it to go down, then repeat 2-3 times until you see it is absorbing it slower. Also pro tip, they LOVE coffee water. You can put some coffee grounds right in the soil or even better, soak your used coffee grounds in water and let the water get real dark and water it with that when it’s ready! This is my jade…
