Thank you Sheila..it really is a big one,isn't it? Maybe mine would have been, if I hadn't kept it trimmed back...I have taken several cuttings over the years,and as you commented on my photo,they so easy to root :o)

My goodness, that is a whopper! Mine has changed colour and it's leaves now have a reddish tinge. No idea why?

I grew one from a small cutting once. It kept going into a bigger & bigger container until it ended up in an old galvanised wash trough. I didn't have a greenhouse, so put it in one belonging to a friend which finished it off. Not frost proof & damp also. Just as well really as I was changing homes & one can't really go through life lugging a ruddy big tree around.

They go red in summer if they get a lot of direct sun on them. My Christmas cacti di also.

You'll have to get a trolley to move it with. We have a trolley that we move our pots with.

I stopped keeping money plants because they get big really quickly and pots get too heavy. I sold 1 big one on ebay (correction only) and the other ones at "yard sale" and none left now. :o)

Yes, even a knocked-off leaves make babies. I've got a different variety of jade plant and they overwintered outdoors; they are still alive, although some leaves were damaged by frosts. They are somehow (half?) hardy and they produce yellow flowers in autumn (if I remember correctly). I love hardy plants which I don't have to take much care of. I'm fed up with taking in and out before/after winter.
