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.

Great Vacuum Kit
Color: L40 Ultra Accessories, Color: L40 Ultra Accessories
I'm not sure if I didn't read carefully enough, or if the title/description changed afterward, but I got this for our Dreame X50, which is similar to the X40 but not quite the same. It looks like everything in this kit will work with ours, except the rollers. The rest of it, the bags, the filters, and the brushes, look the same though, and I can confirm that the mop pads work. Overall, it looks like a great set, full of everything you'd need to freshen up the robot that keeps your house fresh.

Great replacement mop pads that hold up well through multiple washes
Color: L40 Ultra Mop Pad
I've been really happy with these replacement mop pads for my x30 Ultra Dreame robot vacuum. They snap on and off easily without any tools, which makes swapping them out between cleaning sessions quick and hassle-free. The microfiber material feels dense and absorbent — comparable to the original pads that came with the unit — and they do a solid job picking up grime on my hard floors, including tile and laminate. Getting 8 pads in a pack is a great value. I rotate through them regularly and toss a few in the washing machine at a time, and so far they've held their shape and absorbency well after repeated washes. No fraying or velcro attachment issues yet. My only minor complaint is that the fit can feel slightly less snug than the OEM pads, but once the robot is running, they stay in place fine and perform just as well. Overall, a solid third-party option that saves you money without sacrificing cleaning performance.

Original equipment quality
Color: L40 Ultra Accessories
Perfect set. I held back on this review until I had to chance to try everything, and it is "OEM" quality in every way. The mop heads fit securely and are the right size and texture. The filters are exactly right and appear to be high quality materials and snug up properly. The rollers fit correctly and last as long as the originals. The brushes appear to be the same thing. Finally, the bags themselves fit well and snap shut for disposal. I would be hard pressed to tell the difference, and moreover the cost difference from original is extreme (4X or more). I'm ordering another set.

Good value bundle, everything you need
Color: L40 Ultra Accessories
I got this accessories kit for my robot vacuum and it’s actually really convenient to have everything in one pack. Instead of ordering parts separately, this includes pretty much all the main things you’ll need over time — brushes, mop pads, filters, and dust bags. The pieces fit well and are compatible with the machine as expected. Installation is simple — everything swaps out easily just like the original parts, so no issues there. Kits like this typically include the same core parts (main brush, side brushes, filters, mop pads, dust bags), which are meant to be replaced regularly to keep the vacuum working efficiently. The quality is decent overall. The mop pads absorb well and clean effectively, and the brushes pick up dirt without any problems. It may not feel exactly like the original brand parts, but for the price, it does the job. What I like most is the quantity — having multiple replacements means you don’t have to think about buying more anytime soon. It’s especially useful if you run the vacuum often.

OEM Quality at a fraction of the cost
Color: L40 Ultra Accessories, Color: L40 Ultra Accessories
I have a Dreame x50(Main floor)and a Dreame x40(Top Floor), for over a year now. I use them each 3x/week in mainly mopping downstairs(vacuuming area rugs & floor) and mainly vacuuming upstairs(carpet) and some mopping(2 bathrooms and one bedroom); so I know a little bit about accessories and what they can and cannot do. Even though these are for the Dreame x40, some of the parts fit both the x40 & x50 perfectly. As the 1st pic shows, the mop pads, corner brush, and dust bags fit perfectly on both. However the main brush, and filter insert are different. But these all fit in the x40. The only slight problem, as I pointed out in other reviews, these new filter cartridges are dark gray, not white, so can’t see the dirt as much, when cleaning them. They easily slip in and feel sturdy as the OEM. The product on left of each pic is the OEM, right is this product. The quality and design is the same as the OEM, and far less expensive. I recommend these if you own either machine.
