I noticeably need to work on my photography skills, but I'm sure you get the point. I can't believe how lucky I was to be given this. A neighbor was moving out and decided that she could not take the plant with her, so she gave it to me! I was so happy :)
I've taken a couple close-up pictures so that you can see a little more detail.
The leaves a cylindrical so that they can soak up lots of sunlight while allowing as little evaporation as possible.
Succulents never cease to amaze me. They do everything possible to hold as much water as they possibly can. They are truly "drought tolerant" plants.
In recent years I've noticed that the crassula ovata gollum is growing in popularity. I often see it in home improvement stores with other cute little plants on the shelves. It is also in those little mixed cacti/succulent plants that are atrociously priced. Those plants are clearly not nearly as old as this one is though. They are all green - like the ends of the branches above.
I plan on taking off a few of the smaller arms and planting them in some small pots for friends and family as Christmas gifts this year. I think they will make great gifts!
