  •   Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' Jade is a charming succulent cultivar belonging to the Crassulaceae family, native to the rocky, arid regions of South Africa and Mozambique. As a member of the Crassula genus, it has adapted to thrive in dry, sun-drenched environments with well-draining soils. This easy care jade plant has become a beloved indoor succulent for sale worldwide, prized by beginners and collectors alike for its low maintenance nature and sculptural personality.

      What makes Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' Jade truly distinctive are its tubular, finger-like leaves that curl inward and flare open at the tips, creating a look unlike any standard jade. The leaf tips often blush a gorgeous red when the plant receives bright light, making it a standout red tipped succulent that draws the eye immediately. Its upright, tree-like, clustering growth habit gives it the silhouette of a miniature jade bonsai tree, with a thick woody stem that develops beautifully over time.

      Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' Jade is capable of producing small, star-shaped pale pink to white flowers, typically in late autumn to winter when grown in the right conditions. A consistent drop in nighttime temperatures is the key trigger for blooming, so seasonal temperature fluctuations really do reward patient growers. Older, more established plants flower more reliably, giving long-term collectors something extra to look forward to each season.

      As a drought tolerant succulent, Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' Jade is wonderfully forgiving and survives beautifully even when you travel, easily handling a 10-day trip without watering. It works as a succulent desk plant under bright office LEDs, though it performs best with a regular quarter-turn rotation to ensure even, balanced growth. Keep Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' Jade on a high shelf or out of reach, as cats, dogs, and small children should not be left to nibble or eat the plant, and the sap can cause mild skin or paw irritation. During summer, it loves a spot outdoors in partial to full sun, though it needs cover from rain to prevent root issues.

  •   Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' Jade thrives in bright indirect light to full sun, ideally near an east or west-facing window.

      Water Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' Jade every 2-3 weeks in summer, and reduce to once a month in winter, allowing soil to dry fully between waterings.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
