To be honest, we're not sure if this cultivar is 'Gollum' or 'Hobbit.' 'Gollum' is said to have tubular leaves with cup-like ends while 'Hobbit' has spoon-shaped leaves that curl inward to form a tubular shape. This one seems to have both!
Product Description
Product Description
Fun fact: what is known as the Tolkien group of jade plants first appeared in the 1970s, well before the movies came out, which just goes to show what an impact J.R.R. Tolkien had on the world at large. The odd but characteristic formation of the leaves are apparently due to a bacteria, and mutations in existing plants is not unusual, so it's not surprising that 'Gollum' and 'Hobbit' look so much alike. Both may grow two to three feet tall and one to two feet tall at maturity. Allegedly safe to grow in lower light conditions, these both may benefit from grow lights. Keep these and all jade plants out of the mouths of pets, as they can cause severe gastric distress.
