Hi! This grew from a single petal that I found at a garden nursery. It’s just kept going, but the petals near the dirt are turning yellow and coming off. Anyone know what this plant is?

To me that looks like donkey’s tail/burro’s tail, or sedum morganium!

#### Skimbutt replied on 2024-03-14

it’s definitely not a burros tail. it looks more like some type of jade.

Are you sure? It’s a little difficult to tell in the angle of the photo, but when you turn it upside it really looks like the leafs have quite a narrow point. In my experience I’ve known jade to have flatter leafs and more rounded leaf tips, though I’ve also only had trees and not a trailing jade. Either way, at least we know for sure it’s a crassulaceae! 😂

The bottom right pic looks most like it!

#### Daisy replied on 2024-03-14

That is burro’s tail! :)

It grew from a single petal?!! Plants are so cool 😎

#### Donna replied on 2024-03-14

I know! Love the little dear :)

### Daisy commented on 2024-03-14

OP do you have a photo of just a leaf/petal?

That’s a training Jade

#### Ma G replied on 2024-03-14

I meant trailing Jade. 😛

### Ma G commented on 2024-03-14

That makes sense now cause Jade plants are easy to propagate

Trailing Jade

The leaves on mine are much fatter actually, and closer to the stem

#### Ma G replied on 2024-03-14

It’s a trailing Jade. I looked at the photo. I zoomed in on it. Some Jade plant leaves are thicker than others depending on how much water they are retaining. All Jade leaves aren’t the same size

### Ma G commented on 2024-03-14

You can’t water these much at all. You might have overwatered it and that is why the leaves are turning yellow and falling off. I’d replant this I. Succulent soul if I were you. You can’t water these but every 14 days or more.

### Ma G commented on 2024-03-14

Or cut off some vines and propagate it. You can plant the stems directly in soil without roots. Better save it while you can. It’s dying I’m afraid

### Ma G commented on 2024-03-14

It needs bright sun too. You may not have been caring for it properly since you didn’t know what kind of plant it was

### Ma G commented on 2024-03-14

Another trailing Jade from the web.
