Crassula ovata Gollum | Finger Jade

Crassula ovata 'Gollum,' commonly known as Gollum Jade or Finger Jade, is a striking succulent with unique, tubular leaves that resemble little fingers or pipes. The leaves are a vibrant green but can develop red tips when exposed to bright light or stress, adding a pop of colour. This variety of jade plant has a compact, bushy growth habit and makes for an interesting addition to succulent collections or as a tabletop plant. It's a variation of the traditional Crassula ovata (Jade Plant), but with more unusual, elongated leaves that give it a distinct appearance.

Like most succulents, Crassula ovata 'Gollum' is very easy to care for. It thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Watering should be done when the soil is completely dry, and it’s best to avoid overwatering. It’s quite drought-tolerant, making it perfect for beginners or those with a busy schedule. As a hardy succulent, it can handle some neglect but will reward you with vibrant, healthy growth if given the right conditions. Just keep in mind that like other jade plants, Gollum Jade is toxic to pets if ingested, so it should be kept out of reach of curious animals.
