Crassula ovata ‘Hobbit’ is a wonderfully whimsical variation on the classic Jade Plant, featuring thick, succulent leaves curled into glossy, green tubular shapes.
Its naturally branching habit and sturdy, woody trunk give it a distinct bonsai-like appearance, making it a standout addition to any succulent collection
Its leaves are unusual, rolled into shiny green cylindrical tubes with tips that blush pinkish red in the sunlight.
The plant will bloom mid-winter (anywhere between December and February) once it has reached maturity.
The flowers are tiny , cream-colored stars on long pinkish-red stems.
It has a very slow growth rate but, once mature, it forms an elegant tree like structure with a thick trunk and branches.
👨🌾GARDENING TIPS👨🌾:
‘Hobbit’ is a horticultural variety developed in California – alas no relation to Tolkien here.
“Crassula” means thick or fat in Latin, referring to the leaves that become plumpy the more water they are able to store.
This is a good indicator of the health of your crassula – if less plumpy, then she needs a dash of water!
This genus was first named in 1862 and the genus contains 150-200 species, most of them occurring in South Africa.
“Ovata” comes from the Latin word meaning egg-shaped. And indeed, the leaves are a little egg-like.
