Crassula ovata 'Gollum', commonly called Jade Fingers or Ogre Ears, is a mutated jade plant cultivar grown for its unusual tubular foliage. Instead of flat succulent leaves, the plant develops elongated green tubes with flared tips that resemble tiny suction cups or ears. As the plant matures, the stems become thicker and more tree-like, giving it a sculptural appearance that works well as both a houseplant and bonsai-style specimen. Some plants stay fully green, while others develop red edging when exposed to stronger light.
This plant requires bright light to maintain compact growth and strong structure. A south or west-facing window is ideal indoors, while an east window can work if the plant sits directly in the light source. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K lighting positioned about 8–12 inches above the canopy. In lower light, the stems stretch, spacing between leaves increases, and the plant loses the dense sculptural shape that makes it attractive. Stronger light also helps intensify red coloration along the leaf edges.
Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Crassula ovata 'Gollum' stores water inside its leaves and is far more tolerant of drought than excess moisture. Use a fast-draining succulent mix with good airflow around the roots. Wrinkled or slightly soft leaves usually indicate the plant is thirsty, while mushy stems, yellowing foliage, or sudden leaf drop are signs the soil is remaining wet too long. During winter or slower growth periods, watering should be reduced significantly.

Beautiful plants I always buy my plants through rooted plant shop. that’s my go to shop
The book is done so well. I can’t imagine the time you spent putting this all together. You’re truly a gifted gardener. Thank so much for this. I’ve always gardened outside the house plants and succulents are new for me. So I really appreciate this book and your website with plants in certain lighting. Thanks for helping me succeed in my plants. I also bought a Micah’s. What beautiful plant. Packed nicely and secure. Thank you I’ll be back for more plants. In a true follower from Kansas.
My Black Velvet Alocasia arrived VERY well packaged, healthy and is already pushing out a new leaf! With all the helpful information listed on the site I was able to place it and care for it exactly as it is needed.
This arrived in great shape and vibrant color. Will be ordering again.
What a cool way to discover new plants! I love it!
I am stunned at the Ring of Fire's color. So pretty. She's looking like she handled the trip well and I can't wait to watch her grow.
Beautiful plant. Shipping was great. Plant was well protected for shipping. Even came with an instruction card on what you should do when the plant you unpacked it.
