  •   Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade is a beloved succulent cultivar in the Crassulaceae family, prized by collectors and beginners alike for its easy care and sculptural charm. Native to the rocky hillsides and dry regions of South Africa and Mozambique, it evolved to store water in its thick leaves and survive long dry spells. That drought-tolerant nature makes Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade one of the most rewarding green succulents you can grow indoors or out.

      What makes Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade instantly recognizable are its tubular, finger-like leaves, each one curling into a trumpet shape with a sunken red-tinged tip. Under bright light, those tips deepen to a rich red or yellow-green, creating a striking two-tone effect. The plant grows in an upright, tree-like, clustering habit that gives it the look of a miniature bonsai tree, even in a compact 4" pot.

      Mature Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade can produce clusters of tiny, star-shaped pale pink to white flowers, typically in late autumn or winter. Blooming is triggered by cooler night temperatures and a reduction in watering, so that seasonal night temp drop is your secret weapon for coaxing out flowers. The blooms are lightly fragrant and add a delicate seasonal surprise to an already captivating plant.

      Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade is a fantastic choice for sunny windowsills, desks, and shelves, and it genuinely thrives when moved outside for summer in zones 8 through 11. Because it develops deep roots over time, planting it in a heavy pot prevents tipping and supports its upright tree-like structure. Keep in mind that cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the plant, and it is best placed away from small children and on a high shelf out of reach since the sap can cause skin and paw irritation. The good news for busy households is that Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade can easily survive a 10-day trip without anyone watering it.

  •   Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade thrives in bright indirect light to full direct sun, but may scorch in intense south-facing windows during summer.

      Water Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade deeply every 2-3 weeks in summer and once a month or less in winter, always letting soil dry completely between waterings.

      Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade does best in a fast-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with perlite for extra drainage and root health.

      Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and should be protected from frost below 25°F (-4°C).

      Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade is a slow to moderate grower that benefits from a diluted balanced fertilizer once in spring and once in summer.

      Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade is rated for USDA FAQs/ Common Issues Zones 9-11, tolerating brief dips to around 25-28°F (-4 to -2°C) but performing best where winters stay mild. Growers in California, Florida, Hawaii, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and coastal Oregon fall within these zones and can keep Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade outdoors year-round. Gardeners in Zone 8 areas including parts of Oregon, Washington, North Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee, and central Texas can also grow it outside with light frost protection during the coldest nights.

    Q: How much light does Crassula Ovata 'Gollum' Jade need?

    🌵 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.
