When and How to Water Your Gollum jade  

Gollum jade plants are extremly drought tolerant requiring minimal watering. It's important to only water them when the soil has dried out, as overwatering can cause root rot. Succulents, including these ET's fingers, are prone to rot if their roots are constantly submerged in moisture. 

The Gollum jade should be watered 10-14 days in growing season and reduce reduce watering to once every 3-4 weeks during the dormant season, with very light moisture.

During the growing season, control watering to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Good airflow and well-draining soil are also essential to keep the plant healthy and resilient throughout its active growth period.

During the dormant season, reduce watering since excess moisture can easily lead to root rot. Fertilizing is not necessary during this time, as the plant is not actively growing. It is best to keep it in a bright location with indirect sunlight and protect it from cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C, as the plant is sensitive to frost. Keeping conditions stable will help it rest properly and prepare for healthier growth in the next season.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Golumm Jade Plant

When growing indoors, providing enough light for these desert ET's fingers is one of the most important aspects of their care.

Place your jade plant directly in front of a west- or south-facing window where it can receive about 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Rotate the plant occasionally to help it grow evenly and keep its tubular leaves compact and well-shaped.

When growing outdoors, it thrives best in a location where it can receive about 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, with some protection from intense midday sun to prevent leaf burn.

A spot with partial shade during the hottest part of the day works well, especially in warmer climates.

If grown in pots, you can move it to a sheltered area during bad weather. With the right balance of sunlight, your Gollum jade can develop stronger stems and more vibrant leaf color.

Pro Tip

  1. If they don't receive enough light, their stems may grow leggy and become pale green or yellow, so make your succulents happy and give them plenty of light.
  2. If you notice the Gollum jade ET's fingers leaves are turning yellow or brown, it may be a sign that the plant is getting too much direct sunlight.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Gollum jade prefers a light, airy, and well-draining soil that is slightly acidic, with a pH between 5.6 and 6.5. Like most succulents, it does best in soil that dries out completely between waterings. A sandy, loose texture is ideal, similar to what you would find in desert conditions. Soil that stays wet for too long can harm the plant, leading to bacterial and fungal rot. 

You can also make your own mix by combining equal parts perlite, coarse sand, and a good-quality potting soil. This blend helps improve drainage while still providing enough nutrients. You can also use our specialized succulents potting mix that includes organic mycorrhizae – perfect for promoting healthy roots and happy plants.

Gollum jade is not a heavy feeder, but it can benefit from light fertilizing during its active growing season. A balanced fertilizer, such as a 5-10-5 NPK formula, works well. Apply it once during spring to support healthy growth. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant months in fall and winter, as the plant is resting and does not need extra nutrients. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

In the United States, this ET's fingers plant is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in Southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-12.

They prefer constant temperatures above 70°F and can tolerate triple digits in the summer, so don't worry if your succulent gets too hot. 

They cannot handle frost, cold, or freezing temperatures, so make sure it doesn't get below 45°F in its environment. It can be grown as a houseplant in colder climates. ET's fingers prefers average to low humidity environments. These plants are adapted to arid conditions and have thick, fleshy leaves that store water.

So, you don't need to worry too much about providing extra humidity for them. Just make sure the air isn't excessively dry, especially during winter months when indoor heating can reduce humidity levels. 

How to Grow Indoors as a Houseplant 

Your ET's Fingers plant will do best when placed directly in front of a south or west facing window where it can receive around four to six hours of direct sunlight each day. Make sure to let the soil dry out completely before watering again, and avoid leaving the pot sitting in water since this can quickly lead to root rot.

Keep it in a room with average temperatures between 60°F and 75°F for healthy growth. Use a fast draining succulent mix to keep the roots dry and well aerated, and choose a pot with drainage holes so excess water can escape and the soil can dry faster.

Place the plant in bright, indirect light and avoid direct sunlight at this stage to prevent sunburn.

Dogs love it, hard to open and close
Size: Large, Color: Pink, Size: Large, Color: Pink
My dogs love this toy. It keeps them entertained a long time. Great calming toy for when you leave the house. Only issues is it is very hard to open and close. One of mine I had three people try to open and after fighting with it for about an hour I finally got it opened. Got 2, one a blue and pink one for each of my dogs. The blue is easier than the pink but still hard to do. Just not as bad. Can't close the pink all the way because it is so hard to close. The dog that uses it has trouble getting the stuff out of it. But it doesn't stop her from trying for hours to do so. Does get some teeth marks on it as well if they are aggressive chewer. Tried multiple eatable lubricating substances to try to make it easier but so far nothing fully worked. Aloe Vera has worked the best so far, but not great.

Good in theory, but didn’t fully deliver
Size: Large, Color: Green, Size: Large, Color: Green
My dog falls right on the size cutoff between the small and large Pupsicle. I initially ordered the large since he’s a strong chewer, but he had trouble getting everything out, so I ended up trying the small as well. There are definitely some positives. I think the design is better than a Kong. It stays upright, which makes it less messy. I also really like the mold for making the inserts, instead of having to fill the toy itself and freeze it. That said, there are two major design issues that impacted my experience. First, the all-rubber construction creates a lot of friction when screwing the bottom into the base, especially after repeated use. It gradually became harder to open, to the point where I was using coconut or avocado oil to try to loosen the threads. At one point I even needed a wrench and pliers just to get a better grip. Second, while it’s marketed as dishwasher safe (which I was excited about for cleaning), it seems to dry out the rubber and makes the threading issue worse over time. Unfortunately, mine is now permanently stuck shut and no longer usable. Overall, I like the concept, but the durability and usability issues make this a 3-star product for me. I’d recommend it with caution, especially if you plan to wash it frequently.

Cute toy and well made
These are very cute and so far my dog has not destroyed them and he’s a very aggressive chewer. They are great quality. The colors are vibrant. Rocky loves the squeaker. They're light weight and the perfect size . He enjoys playing with them. We like to take them when he’s not looking and throw them to watch him go fetch them.

Love these!!
My dog absolutely loves these toys!! I’m grateful they don’t tear up easily because he’s really harsh on toys. Love that you can add treats or a water bottle to get more engagement and enjoyment. This by far is one of my dogs favorite toys. Great value for the money and great quality.
