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.

Key Takeaways

  1. The curled, tubular leaves resemble little green fingers or trumpet-shaped tubes, which inspired its name ‘Hobbit’ after J.R.R. Tolkien’s mythical characters.
  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.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Jade Bonsai tree (Crassula ovata Hobbit) is a super cool plant with some awesome features. It's got these thick, succulent leaves that give it a unique and tree-like appearance. Crassula ovata Hobbit, often referred to as a "tree," is actually a succulent plant that can create a bonsai-like base, enhancing its unique charm and making it a popular choice among bonsai enthusiasts. Provide bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade, and use well-draining soil. Protect it from frost during colder months.

Quality Product
Style: Data/Line Protection - 12 ft
*** Seller: I bought the Belkin 7-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with 12 feet Cord from Amazon.com LLC. *** Shipping and handling: Amazon.com LLC did a wonderful job in packaging this product. It arrived in excellent condition. *** Usage time: I received this product on February 4, 2015, and from the date of this review, I have been using it for 31 days. I'll update my review periodically. *** Performance review: - Negatives. None. - Neutral. (1) The angled plug is convenient for tight spaces. Some people have complained about its right-oriented design, but that doesn't vex me. I simply place the surge protector somewhere to the right of my workstation. (2) I haven't experienced a surge yet (and I hope I never will), so I can't comment on the device's ability to protect my devices. - Positives. (1) Still working after 31 days of continued use (with all seven outlets occupied [laptop, scanner, printer, and so on]). (2) Based on the device's appearance, it looks both sturdy and professional. A reset switch is located on the side. Indicators on top show whether your devices are either protected (green) or not grounded. *** Summary: I thoroughly enjoy this device and would recommend it to anyone seeking a quality product. If this device were to break down, I wouldn't hesitate to order it again from Amazon.com LLC.

Works and Mounts Nicely
Style: Data/Line Protection - 12 ft
I wanted to get one of these so I could use it to plug in all of my electronics that I use in my office desk (pretty typical). The desk is in the middle of the room though, so it made it all that much more important that I could "hide" this inside of the desk. It was a little difficult to figure out where to put the screws so they correctly lined up with the holes in the back of the device, but after a couple of tries, got it to work. It does occassionally fall down. It would be really nice if there were additional holes in the back of the item so you could put 4+ screws into the surge protector so it has the ability to hold up all of the heavy plug in's that are on the market today. The cord being 12' long was GREAT! This was really the reason that I purchased this model. It eliminates the need to plug this item into an extension cord, which was key. It's been a good item. Nothing special, but how special can surge protectors get? The 12' cord is great, the item is sturdy and I have been very happy.

Really nice product from an equally nice company.
Style: Data/Line Protection - 6 ft
Really nice product from an equally nice company. Note: I do not have PRIME since Amazon.com does NOT stand behind their BS mark-up service and have become WORSE since they started pushing it so much at delivering non PRIME items. My experience with Belkin has always been Way Over the Top good. So I recommend any product in general. Their customer service namely and their delivery, packaging is STELLAR. This product is good in that it is robust, the white does not easily scratch (matte type), and the product seems to be well designed overall. The LED's are not obnoxious at all. The wire is thick, robust, but has enough travel to be useful. Only small enhancement would be to put the switch up top instead of at the end of the power strip to provide more options. And maybe add a USB port.

Works Well And Nicely Designed.......... See Photos~
Style: Data/Line Protection - 12 ft, Style: Data/Line Protection - 12 ft
Delivered as pictured and described. I was a bit concerned because of the super low price, thinking maybe it was a discontinued model due to problems but we've had good experiences with Belkin products so I went with this one... When facing it plugged into the outlet, the cord does lean right as advertised. Length is also correct. True white, not an almond color, so it looks nice with white outlet and carpet where visible. The switch is effectively placed on the end where the cord comes out so it's harder to accidentally switch off. Also it lights up on top to indicate green for protected or red for not grounded. Also designed for a phone line on the opposite end but we haven't had use for that where we are using this surge protector. Will update this review should we utilize that feature or have any issues. Smart design at a great price. Uploading photos so you can get a closer look. Smile. Hope this is helpful!
