Product description
Crassula ovata 'Hobbit', commonly known as Hobbit Jade, is a captivating succulent variety of the Jade Plant family. It features tubular, finger-like leaves that curl upward, resembling the ears of a hobbit. This unique appearance makes it a delightful addition to any succulent collection.
•Full Botanical Name: Crassula ovata 'Hobbit'
•Common Names: Hobbit Jade, Ogre's Ear, Finger Jade
•Country and/or Region of Origin: Native to South Africa
•Growing Conditions in Native Habitat: Prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil
•Care Guide:
•Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to intense midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.
•Ideal Room: Suitable for living rooms, offices, or any space with ample natural light.
•Feeding: Fertilize sparingly with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Over-fertilization can lead to leggy growth.
•Humidity: Prefers low to moderate humidity; avoid high-humidity environments like bathrooms.
•Ideal Temperature: Best kept between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Protect from frost and cold drafts.
•Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil has dried out completely. During winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant enters a dormant phase.
•Pet/Child Safe: Toxic to pets and children if ingested; keep out of reach.
•Soil Type: Well-draining, sandy soil mix designed for succulents and cacti.
•Propagation: Propagate by leaf or stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over before planting in well-draining soil.
•Eventual Height and Spread: Typically grows up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall and wide.
•Growth Rate: Slow to moderate.
•Pests and Treatment: Generally pest-resistant but can be susceptible to mealybugs and aphids. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap.
•Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage.
•Pruning: Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy growth. Pruning can also encourage a bushier appearance.
•Air Purification: Known to purify indoor air by removing toxins like formaldehyde.
•Folklore: Jade plants, including 'Hobbit', are often considered symbols of good luck and prosperity.
