The warm yellow tips and reddish leaves of the Crassula ovata “Hobbit” evoke carefree summer days, adding a cheerful touch to any space. Despite its unique appearance, this variety behaves like a typical Crassula ovata, forming a miniature tree with branches and a thick trunk.
Ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings, it thrives in rock gardens or mixed arrangements with other succulents in pots and planters. Considered a plant of good fortune, it brings positive energy wherever it grows.
Intense coloration on the leaves is achieved in full sun positions during the spring and summer months. Originating from South Africa, its name derives from the Latin “crassus,” meaning thick, referring to its fleshy leaves that store water.
Small flowers appear in clusters, adding delicate beauty to the plant. Easy to cultivate, it has modest requirements, preferring bright, sunny locations. During winter, it appreciates cooler temperatures (6-10°C) but still requires ample light.
Water according to temperature, moderately in summer and sparingly in winter. Crassula “Hobbit” thrives in dry air conditions. During summer, fertilize monthly with cactus-specific fertilizer for optimal growth. If needed, transplanting into a larger pot in spring can promote further development.
