Crassula Hobbit is a succulent plant native to the Cape Provinces in South Africa. Popular with J.R.R. Tolkien Fans for its common name 'Hobbit Jade' and Gollum-like shaped leaves. 

Sprawling succulents with stems and leaves that seem stacked on top of each other, The leaves are pale, blue/green in colour. This succulent is easy to care for, ideally in a bright spot on a window sill. Water regularly but ensure the water is free draining and completely dry before watering again. 

In its native environment in South Africa, it lives in arid and dry landscapes. It propagates by breaking up easily in the wild when the wind or animals brush past and break small pieces, down to a single leaf away from the mother plant. The small cuttings easily propagate again in the soil spreading the plant far and wide. The main threat to the species is urban development. 

In its native habitat, it can be found growing in rocks in wide-open spaces and on cliff edges and does best in bright indirect light.
