Overview
Crassula ovata 'Hobbit' is a distinctive cultivar of the Jade Plant, prized for its unusual tubular leaves with rolled edges and cup-shaped tips. The glossy green foliage creates a naturally sculptural appearance, making this compact succulent a striking feature on windowsills, desks and shelves.
Slow growing and easy to care for, 'Hobbit' stores water in its fleshy leaves, making it well suited to busy households and anyone looking for a low-maintenance indoor plant. Given plenty of bright light, it develops a sturdy, branching habit that becomes increasingly characterful with age.

Growing Guide
Indoor Placement
Place in a bright position with plenty of indirect light. It will also tolerate some morning or late afternoon sun, which helps maintain compact growth. Avoid darker locations where growth may become stretched.
Watering
Allow the compost to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess water drain away completely. Reduce watering during the winter months when growth naturally slows.
Humidity
Average household humidity is ideal. This succulent does not require additional humidity and performs well in centrally heated homes.
Feeding
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a fertiliser formulated for cacti and succulents. Do not feed during winter.

- Sunny windowsills
