I recently acquired this jade plant from my sister-in-law. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed some stems growing from a dead stalk. She said it was a housewarming gift and that there were other plants in the planter with the jade, but can not remember what they were. Any ideas?

On a jade plant, in a small area, using your fingernail, gently scrape the paper like stem of the plant, where you think it's dead. If you see a green hue starting to show, stop scraping, the stem is alive, you can leave it be. If no green shows no matter how far you scrape, the stem is indeed dead. No fear tho, jade plant can easily be started by pulling the dead rootball & the plant out of the soil. Snap off the live part of the plant, toss the dead out. Take the live part, remove the lower leaves and stick the part of the leaf that was on the stem into the soil, not very far, maybe 1/2", each leaf will start a new plant. Use the end of a wood spoon and push the handle end into the soil about 1/3 of the depth of the tip of the plant you snapped off & removed the leaves from and put it in the wood spoon hole. Plant too long? Break it in half.
:-) The question wasn't about the jade plant. The writer wants to ID the OTHER plant that is growing in the pot...and I want to ID it, too. I have the same plant, but don't know what is it.
Found it. It's a China Doll plant. A little too finicky for my tastes, but nice if you can get it to grow right (if you have the right conditions).

In this photo and question request, I believe this person was not trying to identify the jade plant as she called it that herself in the post. There are three photos showing the thin and jagged leafed plant which also appeared to grow from an unearthed root lying along the bottom of the dish. I would like to know what type of plant is in the 3 photos myself as that plant has really been challenging me.
