Crassula ovata 'Gollum': The Quirky and Sculptural Succulent

Dare to be different with the Crassula ovata 'Gollum,' a striking, whimsical cultivar of the classic Jade Plant. Known by fun common names like Gollum Jade, Trumpet Jade, and even Shrek's Ears, this succulent is a true statement piece that requires minimal effort.

Key Features

  • Unique Foliage: The most distinctive feature is its leaves—thick, glossy, tubular fingers that curl inward. They often have a red tint or a bright red tip at the flared, suction cup-like opening, which becomes more intense with ample sunlight.

  • Bonsai Potential: Like all Jade Plants, 'Gollum' is a slow-growing succulent that develops a thick, woody, and gnarled trunk with age. This habit makes it an exceptional, low-maintenance candidate for bonsai and container planting.

  • Drought Tolerant: As a succulent, it stores water in its fleshy leaves and stems, making it incredibly resilient. It thrives on neglect and is an ideal plant for busy owners or beginners.

All potted plants are local pickup only. Shipped plants will be bare root (no pot or soil).

Care & Cultivation

  • Light: Prefers full sun to bright, indirect light. High light levels are key to maintaining the attractive reddish color on the leaf tips.

  • Water: Use the "soak and dry" method. Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Overwatering is the biggest risk.

  • Ideal Use: Fantastic as a sculptural houseplant for a sunny room, a unique feature in a mixed succulent garden, or meticulously trained as a captivating bonsai.

Bring the enchanting and sculptural beauty of the 'Gollum' Jade into your home and enjoy its effortless, quirky charm!

(Note: Crassula ovata varieties can be toxic if ingested, so please keep them away from pets and small children.)
