Succulent cuttings

I have the following cuttings available. The first two seem to do well in either full sun or part shade. The later two seem to do best with some afternoon shade.

* Aeonium canariense (Canary Island Aeonium). This is a great succulent that needs no supplemental water once established. It can grow to 3 ft wide & 2 ft high within a few years. After several years it will put out a large cone-shaped cluster of yellow flowers.

* Graptopetalum (Ghost Plant). A low-growing succulent. Stick these in the ground every 6 inches or so, and they’ll fill in the area very nicely within a year or two. Great in pots too. They’ll need periodic water until established, but are then very drought hardy (although some extra water during the summer will have them looking better). I’m not sure of the exact variety, but they’re very similar to the ones pictured. Sprays of little yellow flowers during the spring.

* Cotyedon orbiculata L. (Pig's ear). Most cuttings are a foot or two long, and will make excellent starter plants. My variety has gr a y leaves that sometimes include red margins (depending on sun exposure/time of year). They also will grow bell-shaped orange-red flowers that dangle from stems above the leaves. The plants typically only get a 2-3 feet high/wide -- although older ones may spread more in good conditions if you let them. Very drought tolerant once established.

* Crassula tillaea? I’m not certain about the correct identity of this succulent, although I think it’s in the stonecrop family. Crassula tillaea typically grows very low to the ground, but mine grow up to 1 foot tall and at least that wide in part sun. Regardless, it’s a cool looking plant that adds a pop of green and fills in nicely around other succulents. Again, very drought tolerant, although a bit of water in the summer can be helpful. I’ve attached a photo of this one.

Let me know how many cuttings you want and what day/approximate time you can make the pickup. We live in the Centerville area of Fremont, near Thornton Ave.
