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.

If you are a serious student of Hebrew this is the only way to go. The book explains how the language is built from the ground up. If you are like me you have found learning Hebrew challenging (that's a joke). I have tried learning vocabulary, rote memorization, even coming up with silly English sentences to help me remember words (The goddess "Hera" is quick) (sad, I know). This tool is essential approaching the language from the building block side of things and I am now able to look at the prayer book and recognize forms and tenses I never understood before. It is for the serious student who REALLY wants to learn the language.

Can't do Without
Format: Hardcover
I have been a fan of Gesenius for a long time. While I knew there was updated information to consider, I thought his text was enough. But although his text is certainly still necessary, and necessarily covers issues that the book reviewed here does not, it is clear that one must turn to Waltke & O'Connor to reach a greater level of accuracy. Writing so long after Gesenius, they have presented new and accurate information based on the latest research, not only of Ancient Hebrew, but also based on cognate Semitic languages. I have found the sections on Hebrew verbs the most enlightening and correcting, e.g., that the Pi'el stem is NOT intensive. Such intenseness must be detected from a combination of the lexical verb meaning, the stem, and the text/co-text. This book also presents other up-to-date information on the forming of nouns from verbs, etc. As others have noted, the layout and presentation is great. It really can't be presented any easier, I don't think. One must read Gesenius, for he presents very important information across the board, including much on phonology and linguistics not covered by Waltke & O'Connor. But to stick with Gesenius will leave one in error on some points. Waltke & O'Connor, simply put, make the corrections and make studying Biblical Hebrew exciting, and even much easier to learn.

Best Of The Best
Format: Hardcover
This is the best book I've ever yet read on Hebrew Syntax as was used in the Tanakh. You can't go wrong with this, even though at times, the English-language linguistical jargon may give you a headache, the authors were quick to point out that Hebrew cannot really be clearly defined with English Grammar terminology. But it's format is easy on the eyes. You will often find yourself flipping back a page or two at a list or chart, for whatever they're explaining, but I don't understand how you could have a problem with that. I first saw this at the Portland City Library in PDX, Oregon, and vowed to myself I was going to buy it, no matter what the cost. It's worth it's weight in pure platinum..!

Hard to Beat
Format: Hardcover
Waltke's grammar is about as good as it gets with Hebrew Grammars. Considering the subject matter and its scope one has to expect a monolith like this 700pg jumbo sized monster. But this isn't just some pedantic and wordy school book, it is accessible (assuming that the reader has a basic understanding of Hebrew already), rich with Biblical examples, and comprehensive (at least as far as a grammar can be). This book has set a standard for Hebrew Grammars and is a must for the serious Hebrew student.

In Kathy Koch’s Words, “To get something new, you must do something new.”
Format: Paperback
Dr. Kathy out did herself with this one. I finished the book with hope, ideas, and actionable steps, to use in my relationships with my adult children. She repeats this phrase throughout her book, “To get something new, you must do something new.” I like this so much more than the definition of insanity, “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results," (not sure who said it first and it is not my definition). I am a creature of habit and do the same things and can be amazed when nothing changes. But as Dr. Kathy states I have to do something new, and this book gives me that new. Every chapter ends with 5 actionable steps, and guided activities to apply what was discussed. Some steps are even scripted to help when you don’t know what to say. I have 13 children. 6 have reached adulthood. 4 of them are married and we have 10 amazing grandchildren. Navigating relationships with the adult kids sometimes feels like a roller coaster ride. I can be passive aggressive and opinionated. I know better, but bad habits are hard to break. When I got the email that this book was about to be published and Dr. Kathy was looking for some to read and give an honest opinion of it, I jumped at the chance. I received a free digital copy, and as soon as it was available I bought it. I highly recommend this book. It was written to help with adult kids, but you can apply the ideas with communicating with any adults or even kids. Chapter 1 “First, The Basics” as our children become adults we are their parents (noun), but are no longer to parent (verb). Our role switches to encourager, guide, counselor, coach based on mutual trust. She reminds us that our purpose is more than just parenting. She discusses the 5 core needs of security, identity, belonging, purpose, and competence. She even gives a scripted Declaration of Release returning our children into the hands of an all powerful God. Chapter 2 “Look Honestly at Yourself” Dr. Kathy hits hard here. She tells us to lose our pride, take responsibility for our part and be open to make changes. She also tells the reader to listen to learn and not to judge. This chapter gave me so much insight into my personal relationships. Reminded me that I get defensive because I don’t want to be criticized or blamed. She guides in ways to get to the bottom of hurts by asking questions and listening. Chapter 3 “Listen More, Talk Less” No unsolicited advice. Listen to understand. Ask questions to clarify, and ask permission before giving your two cents. Hear your children. Love them. Accept them. This doesn’t mean you like or approve their choices, just acknowledge it. Focus on the present. Facts. Surrender it all to God. Chapter 4 “How to Handle Grief So It Doesn’t Handle You” Acknowledge grief, give yourself time to accept and grieve. Grieve what isn’t and accept what is. Reject lies and embrace truth. Then work on what you can. Chapter 5 “The Two Shall Become One” has all the tips for when your adult child marries. How to handle traditions, holidays, etc. Chapter 6 “The Blessings of Grandchildren” has my next favorite quote. Dr. Kathy says, “Don’t judge past by today’s wisdom.” This gem is one I have repeatedly told myself since I finished reading the book. I did the best I could at that time. I have grown, matured, learned more, and am not the same person I was. She also says that God calls me to love others, not analyze and fix them. So now that the grandchildren are here I need to learn their 8 great smarts (word, logic, picture, music, body, nature, people, and self), be active and not idolize. Chapter 7 “Close or Far away” we need to respect their home and ways. Always ask to stop by and leave judgement at the door. Instead of walking in and feeling like you should do something, instead ask “What would you like me to do.” My job is to pray and serve. Chapter 8 “The Big Stuff:Moving Home and More” addresses the need for clear communication, clear expectations and respect. Chapter 9 “ Politics, Lifestyle, and Other Hot Topics” Bottom line is to be open and approachable. If a topic comes up that can’t be discussed peacefully it is ok to say no to discussing right then. Always be respectful and stay calm. Chapter 10 “The Prodigal” This one leans a lot into giving up our control and leaning into God’s sovereignty. Releasing. Grieving. Loving unconditionally. Being available to listen, but not quick to solve, and offer unsolicited advice. Chapter 11 “Finding Hope When Life Unravels” where does our hope come from? The Lord. We cannot live in past guilt and shame. Know you did the best you could. If you did wrong, take responsibility for it. Ultimately though it is all in His hands. Sometimes we have to get out of the way and let God work in our children’s lives. We can’t. But He can. Trust in His sovereignty.
