Definitely no jelly beans!

Post by nachtkrabb »

Something like 20years ago, a little something tried to survive inside a Graptopetalum-thicket. It grew a very stright, thin twig with very small greyish green pebble-formed leaves. The twig was lignified.
During these times it was said here in the forum that this was a Sedum pachyphyllum or Jelly Beans.
I was just irritated as the leaves never got a reddish hue, not even outside during summer in full sun.

Two years ago I broke off the twig & gave it an own pot to reroot. Now it grows well, but
it now also grows lots of aerial roots in a reddish brown,
and it grows totally different leaves: longish, flatter, with two small slight pits close to the stem. The young ones still are pebble-formed.
So I am very sure today: This is not a Sedum pachyphyllum.
But what else...? -- Any suggestions are very welcome.
Thank you
