Post pics if you got em! I think mine is my dioscorea elephantipes (at least right now, it changes often). Grown from a seed, she'll be a year old in July :)

I have a jade that was gifted to me 8 years ago. It has been re-potted several times. It's massive and I love it.

Agree on jade. Older ones look great IMO.

Don't ever expose it to young kids. They love whacking it because it makes chunks fall off :(

We made that mistake with our own kids (two human, one kitten).

Our jade is pretty big + old, and the damage happened years ago. At this point it's probably due for a good pruning to help it have a better shape. The plant itself has some air roots that form every once in a while, but it's happily flowering currently so it can't be all that mad.
