👨‍🌾GARDENING TIPS👨‍🌾:

\n
    \n
  • \n
      \n
    • ✂️Cut them back if they get too long or too leggy - they respond well to a trim!
    • \n
    • ❄️ Crassula ovata does not appreciate the frost - so do make sure to bring them inside during the frosty months.
    • \n
    • ☀️As with all the Crassulae, Crassula ovata is extremely drought-tolerant and loves the sun. This in turn means that they hate moist soil > keep it dry

The Tale & The Botany: Crassula ovata 'Hobbit'

\n"Crassula" means thick or fat in Latin, referring to the leaves that become plumpy the more water they are able to store. \n \nThis is a good indicator of the health of your crassula - if less plumpy, then she needs a dash of water! \n \nThis genus was first named in 1862 and the genus contains 150-200 species, most of them occurring in South Africa. \n \n"Ovata" comes from the Latin word meaning egg-shaped. And indeed, the leaves are a little egg-like. \n \n'Hobbit is a horticultural variety developed in California - alas no relation to Tolkien here. \n \n
\n \n

🌸 Floral Morphology

\n

Jade plants produce small, star-shaped flowers that are typically white or pale pink, often with a subtle sweet fragrance.

\n

Flowers appear in dense terminal clusters during winter or early spring, although flowering is more common in mature, well-cared-for plants.

\n

The leaves are opposite, oval to obovate, thick, and fleshy, ranging from bright green to deep green, sometimes developing a reddish tint on the margins in response to strong sunlight or cold.

\n \n \n
\n \n

🌱 Reproductive Biology

\n

Crassula ovata reproduces both sexually via seeds and vegetatively through cuttings or offsets.

\n

Flowers are hermaphroditic and attract pollinators such as bees and flies, but most propagation occurs through leaf or stem cuttings, which root readily under suitable conditions.

\n

This vegetative strategy allows the plant to form dense, shrubby structures over time.

\n \n \n

🌍 Ecology & Adaptations

\n

Native to arid and semi-arid regions of southern Africa, Crassula ovata has evolved several adaptations for survival in dry environments:

\n \n
    \n
  • \n
      \n
    • \n

      Succulent leaves store water for prolonged drought periods.

      \n
    • \n
    • \n

      CAM photosynthesis allows the plant to minimize water loss while maintaining metabolic activity.

      \n
    • \n
    • \n

      Thick, woody stems provide structural support and enable the plant to reach up to 1–2 meters in height outdoors.

      \n
    • \n

      The plant tolerates poor, well-drained soils, full sun, and occasional frost, although it is sensitive to prolonged freezing.

Needs to be warmed, but works great for quick face re-application
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
I love mineral sunscreen, it really works the best. But I also do not love mineral sunscreen because it's hard to apply. I don't think it matters what you do, they're just always difficult to apply and always leaving the white. This one isn't much different. I'm a scuba diver and my face sunscreen is washed off quickly doing multiple dives. I also get a weird "mask sunburn" if I don't reapply... but since I'm a diver I can't bring myself to buy or wear sunscreen that's not reef safe into the ocean. I was unsure if this would work because it's pretty solid. I threw it in my bag and once the sun warmed it up a little, I was able to apply it fairly easily between dives. I don't think it works unless it's warmed a bit first, but I like it for this purpose.

I Wanted to Like It
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
I really wanted to like it because of the great reviews it gets with backpackers and generally with people that don't like "greasy hands syndrome" after applying sunscreen. But after using a stick I found that it's just not that good. The good: small, lightweight container. Not greasy. Good protection, I was in the sun all day hiking multiple days straight and only put on sunscreen twice per day and I didn't have any burning... and I burn easily. The bad: Value: the $12.53 sunscreen container only lasted about 8 days. And that was just my arms, neck, and half my face since I wore a shirt and long pants and a wide brim hat every day when hiking. I would expect this amount of sunscreen to last a lot longer than that on such a limited area. I'm not a big person either. Application, chafing: it's the opposite of greasy, almost chalky. You use the stick to apply to your skin in stripes, then you have to "blend it in" by rubbing with the backs of your hands so your palms don't get chalky. Since the stick is so dry this requires a fair amount of force and it chafes as you rub it around. When your skin a bit sandy it hurts. Application, crumbling: on a chilly but sunny morning, about 45 F, I applied sunscreen and small chunks of the stick crumbled off. I watched precious chunks of the already overpriced sunscreen drop to the ground. Residue: while it's not greasy, it's physical sunblock so it gives your skin the characteristic whitish sparkle. That's to be expected. But what I didn't foresee is it will rub off on anything your skin touches. My gear had white chalk-like marks (technically titania powder?) on my shirt collars, backpack straps, sunglasses, and a few other high-touch items. Overall I think it's a neat idea. I'm not overly disappointed with my purchase. But for $12.50 I expect sunscreen to be easier to apply and for the container to last longer than about 8 days. I can't burn $50/month in the summer months when a single container of chemical sunscreen will do the job. Pro tip: you can buy food-safe 3 oz TSA travel containers. Load one of those up with chemical sunscreen and you have something that beats this in every way except for the greasiness, which you can mitigate by picking a lower SPF sunscreen (the 30 SPF you wear is infinitely better than the 50 SPF you skip!).

Light and simple
Style: SPF 50 (Pack of 2), Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Absolutely love this sunscreen! It offers great coverage without feeling heavy or sticky. It absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a white cast, and held up beautifully during long days in the sun. This has become a staple in our family. Hands down the best sunscreen! Lightweight, effective, and comfortable enough to wear all day. It protected our skin even during hours of outdoor sports and activities. I'll definitely be purchasing again! ☀️🧴💛
