# I have had this plant for over a year and it took a very long time to…

_Posted by Rachael on 2024-06-12_

I have had this plant for over a year and it took a very long time to do anything. I got it as a cutting and had no clue until I found calico kitten plants and thought it looked exactly like it. Now that it’s finally thriving and growing, it doesn’t look like a calico kitten to me anymore! Anyone have any idea? The leaves are quite thick like a Hoya, and the underside is a purple color once the leaf matures and the top starts to look frosted.

Jade? I’m going to add a picture of mine. My mom had this for over a year with too little water, and not enough light so it’s not been growing much either. She gave it to me a few months ago and has been growing better under my grow light. The growth reminds me of it’s newer growth.

Adorable. Is that a plant name? I love the tiny pot with the tiny plant. 🥹
