The Hobbit Jade Plant, scientifically known as Crassula ovata, is a succulent native to South Africa. It is commonly cultivated as a houseplant around the world. This plant is characterized by its evergreen nature, featuring thick branches and smooth, rounded, fleshy leaves that grow in pairs along the branches. The leaves typically exhibit a vibrant jade green color, with some varieties developing a reddish hue along the edges under high sunlight exposure. As new stem growth emerges, it mirrors the color and texture of the leaves, eventually transforming into brown and woody as it ages. In optimal conditions, the jade plant may bloom small, star-like white or pink flowers during the early spring season. Its versatility makes it well-suited for bonsai cultivation, particularly as an indoor bonsai. This particular variety of the jade plant, the Hobbit Jade Plant, is readily manageable and comes in a 2.5" pot. It thrives in sunny conditions and should be watered only when the soil becomes dry. This offering is from Hirt's Gardens, catering to the needs of garden and patio enthusiasts.
