So I wanted to figure out if I have a different type of jade plant. The picture I added is a different one I have that seems to be the most common type of jade but it looks vastly different from my mystery jade plant. Does anyone know what this could be?
Definitely a jade, but perhaps itās a compact variety. https://links.getplanta.com/UZoC hereās a link to an ID for a compact version
1 gilla I have cuttings from my 30-year old jade thatās more compacted at the top. Itās likely a good sign that it isnāt very leggy, meaning itās getting enough light for lots of close knit growth
Mine is definitely compacted and as it grows it doesnāt get tall like my other jade plant but it gets wider.
I think I found it! https://links.getplanta.com/eWfJ Check out Crassula setulosa and its care instructions in the Planta app.

The interesting thing is that your older leaves have more typical large leaves under the smaller newer leaves. So it used to grow those leaves. I wonder if the leaves just look different at different stages or lighting. I have a small jade my mom struggled with and then gave to me. It still has two of its old big leaves, but the rest are smaller and more compact. Soš¤·āāļø. Obviously both of ours are happier now, but I guess time will tell if the leaves will become big like the old ones. Hereās mine. I love how yours is almost spiraling though!!š
