Crassula ovata 'Gollum' Jade Succulent Plant

    Plenty To Go Around

    Crassula ovata 'Gollum' is a wonderfully quirky and beloved cultivar of the classic jade plant. Its unusual, tubular leaves are rolled into a cylinder and flared at the tip into a sucker-like opening with a red blush, giving it an otherworldly appearance and lending it its name. Over time it develops a thick, woody trunk and branching structure that gives it the appearance of a miniature tree, much like a living bonsai. It is considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity in many cultures, and with proper care it can live for decades, growing more characterful with every year.

    📐 Current Size 5-8 cm tall (May 2026) 
    ☀️ Sun Bright, indirect light to full sun, at least 4 hours per day. More sun brings out the red colouring on the leaf tips.

    💧 Watering Allow to dry out completely between waterings, every 2 to 3 weeks in summer and once a month in winter. Root rot from overwatering is the most common cause of failure.
