Why Plant Lovers Adore the ‘Hobbit’ Jade:

• Unique Leaf Shape – Thick, glossy, tubular leaves with curled edges for an eye-catching, otherworldly look.

Care Guide:

• Soil: Use a gritty, well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
• Temperature: Warm, frost-free conditions are best—bring indoors during cold months.
• Feeding: Lightly fertilise in spring and summer for stronger growth.
• Propagation: Easily grown from stem or leaf cuttings to share with friends.
