Crassula Ovata Ladyfingers

Add a quirky, whimsical flair to your plant collection with Crassula ovata ‘Gollum’, a playful twist on the classic Jade Plant. With its finger-like, tubular leaves and spacey vibe, this succulent is equal parts adorable and low-maintenance—perfect for windowsills, desks, or gifting to fellow plant lovers.

Why You’ll Love It

• Whimsical Tubular Leaves: Thick, trumpet-shaped leaves curl inward like suction cups or “Shrek’s Ears,” giving it a look that's straight out of a fantasy world.

• Compact & Eye-Catching: Grows in a branching, upright form that stays neat and compact—great for small spaces, pots, or succulent arrangements.

• Sun-Kissed Tips: With enough light, the tips of the leaves develop a cheerful reddish hue, adding even more visual interest.

• Super Easy Care: Drought-tolerant, resilient, and beginner-friendly. A must-have for busy plant parents or anyone who forgets to water now and then.

Plant Details

• Growth Habit: Compact, shrubby, and slow-growing—excellent for bonsai, tabletop pots, or quirky accent pieces.

• Leaf Texture: Smooth, glossy, and slightly curved—like little green trumpets!

• Sun Requirements: Bright, indirect light to partial sun. Morning sun is best; protect from harsh afternoon rays.

• Watering: Water thoroughly when soil is completely dry. Avoid overwatering—this jade loves to dry out.

• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus/succulent mix.

• Temperature: Keep above 50°F (10°C); protect from frost.

Fun Fact:

The name ‘Gollum’ comes from its resemblance to the character’s fingers in The Lord of the Rings, but many call it “Shrek’s Ears” for its cartoonishly cute shape. Either way, it’s a conversation starter!

Whether you're a collector, a succulent newbie, or just love funky plants with personality, Crassula ovata 'Gollum' is a must-have addition to your green space.

The first two photos serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the black pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
