Introducing a stunning jade bonsai tree plant, also known as Crassula ovata 'Hobbit', similar to  Gollum jade. It is a cultivar of the Crassula ovata species, originally from South Africa. This lovely plant goes by several common names, such as Hobbit Jade, Shrek's Ears, and Ogre's Ears.

It's important to note that while Crassula ovata Hobbit is referred to as a "tree," it is actually a succulent plant that can develop a bonsai-like base, giving it a tree-like appearance. This adds to its unique charm and makes it a popular choice among bonsai enthusiasts.


The jade bonsai tree probably needs to be 10 gal minimum to start looking like a tree; ours is a15gal, which is why it has a more mature trunk and developed appearance compared to dwarf jade bonsai trees. The larger size allows for more intricate shaping and growth potential.

When cultivated as a small bonsai tree, this jade bonsai tree typically reaches a height of around 6-8 inches, showcasing a compact shape and bushy appearance.

However, when grown as a regular potted plant, it can grow up to 3 feet tall.  Imagine adding a rare and beautiful plant to your collection that develops into a woody, branching shrub that makes an excellent large bonsai tree.

If given the proper care, the jade hobbit plant can live up to 70 years. Although it grows slowly, adding only two inches to its height each year, this plant can grow to a maximum height of three to six feet. 

The jade bonsai tree boasts thick, fleshy leaves that are tubular and spoon-shaped, resembling the ears of characters from movies like "The Hobbit" or "Shrek." Its leaves have a glossy, jade-green hue, and when exposed to direct sunlight, they may develop reddish edges.

The flowers of this jade bonsai tree are pinkish-white, star-shaped, and bloom from late winter to late spring, making it a true showstopper. Although it typically does not bloom indoors, this jade succulent's green and white variegated leaves are attractive.

When and How to Water Your Hobbit Jade Plants

The jade bonsai tree is drought-tolerant by nature, and its fleshy, water-storing stems can hold a lot of water.  However, their root structure is easily susceptible to overwatering, so make sure that you don't overwater, as it can lead to root rot and fungal infections. The Hobbit Jade prefers watering once every 1-2 weeks in the growing season, and once a month in the dormant season.

The Crassula ovata hobbit prefers to be watered using the "soak and dry" technique. This involves thoroughly watering the jade hobbit plant before allowing it to completely dry out between watering sessions. 

Both potted and outdoor variegated jade hobbit plants should receive a deep soak once or twice a month during their growth periods, ensuring proper drainage so that the roots don't become waterlogged. Avoid watering your outdoor Crassula species when it's raining or during the winter months.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Jade Hobbit Plant

If growing indoors, place your Crassula ovata hobbit directly in front of a west- or south-facing window.

If they don't receive enough light, their stems may grow leggy and become paler, and their spines will shorten. So, make your jade hobbit plant happy and give it plenty of light.

When grown outdoors, providing enough light for these desert jade hobbit plant (Crassula ovata Hobbit) succulents is one of the most important aspects of their care.

It is important to grow your jade plants in areas that receive at least 4-6 hours of bright, indirect light daily to keep them happy. Under bright sunlight, bright red margins appear on leaves that are up to 2 inches long.

It's critical to remember that during a heatwave, during long periods of extreme heat, your jade hobbit tree could still sustain sun damage or get sunburned. You can protect the plant in this situation by moving it indoors or to a shaded area.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The hobbit jade plants prefer sandy, well-drained soil, as excess moisture can promote root and stem rot. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has a specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your Crassula ovata hobbit jade succulents thrive.

When it comes to fertilizing your jade hobbit plant, organic fertilizers with an equal mixture of 5-10-5 (NPK) once a year in the growing season (spring) will keep your soil alive. So, skip those harsh chemicals and give your hobbit jade succulent some love with some awesome organic fertilizer!

Hardiness Zones & More 

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.

If you live in a colder climate, it's best to keep the bonsai indoors during winter or provide protection from frost.

When placing the Jade Bonsai Tree outdoors, choose a location that receives bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade. Avoid exposing it to direct, intense sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Additionally, ensure the soil has excellent drainage to prevent waterlogging.

How to Grow Best Indoors Jade Bonsai Tree

When it comes to indoor bonsai cultivation, the Crassula ovata hobbit prefers average room temperatures between 60-75°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures during winter, around 50-55°F, but avoid exposing it to freezing temperatures. The Jade Bonsai Tree is adaptable and can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. However, it appreciates a slightly more humid environment, especially during the dry winter months. To increase humidity, you can place a tray filled with water near the growing bonsai or use a humidifier.

  2. Unlike the standard jade, the ‘Hobbit’ grows more compact and twisted, making it a naturally ideal candidate for bonsai without needing extensive shaping.
  3. In feng shui, it is considered a “money magnet” plant, and the unusual tubular leaves are thought to resemble fingers grasping prosperity.
  4. The tips of its tubular leaves can turn bright red when exposed to plenty of sunlight or cool night temperatures, adding seasonal color variation.

How to Propagate Your Crassula ovata 'Hobbit'

Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' can be propagated through stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. To propagate through stem cuttings, simply cut a healthy stem from the plant and allow it to callous before planting it in well-draining soil. Leaf cuttings can be taken by gently twisting a leaf from the plant and allowing it to dry out before planting it in soil.

Just started using it. Smells like oil not over powering. The quality is rich and it’s not runny oily. For the size of it’ll last couple months. Worth the price.

Pattern Name: 8 Exfoliating Gloves, Pattern Name: 8 Exfoliating Gloves
These are a absolutely excellent pair of gloves and I am very impressed with them. They are a great price for the quantity and quality of the gloves. I have used exfoliating gloves before but they were extremely cheap and of poor quality coming from China and I was never very impressed. These gloves are of another caliber entirely. They feel nice to the touch, aren't scratchy or irritating to be worn on your hand while your exfoliating with them. Some other gloves or exfoliating stones are abrasive and when you are done they leave your skin raw and irritated but these ones did not do that, they gently rubbed dead skin off and I could actually see it coming off in tiny little peices and when I was done my skin was so soft and clean afterwards and I have never had any exfoliating product do that before. I bought some sun laboratiories exfoliating body gel once before and I used it with these gloves and it worked fantastically as well.

I am in love with this mitt
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove, Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
I am in love with this mitt!!! I am a long time user of the sun laboratories sunnless tanning lotion line of products and I use them all the time to give myself a wonderful golden bronze looking tan and generally it comes off easily with soap and water but sometimes it doesn't come off as well and I still look a different color than what I actually am. So I came across this mitt when I was looking online to buy more of the sunnless tanning lotion that I always use and it was reccomended that I try this out. I bought it thinking that this could be what I need to help my skin look better and I was not disappointed when I used this. It gently rubbed all the sunnless tanner lotion off and my skin looked back to normal, there was a major difference in my skin tone from before and after I used it. This mitt also works if you use the sunnless tanning lotion repeatedly for several days or weeks in a row and don't have time to properly exfoliate to get it all off in between each time that you use the sunnless tanning lotion. It easily rubbs off all the built up layers than can get gross and make your skin look off.

Works great!
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
This mit works great! I used a tanning lotion and as it started to rub off I needed something to help make my skin even again. The shower water was brown as the water rinsed my skin and the mit. So I know it was working! It is a little rough on your skin to hell scratch it off but overall I recommend.
