Crassula ovata 'Gollum'...on steroids. :)

on steroids? lol did they pump it with something to make it grow quickly?

thanks :)

Hi Nikki,

Nice looking plant, but pls. read up here in mixes & soils for Crassulas (Jades) as that needs work; it need to be made more gritty & less peaty so as to be faster draining (what these plants need).

What one needs to post pix here is a photohosting site like Photobucket or Flicker (both free) & post there first & then copy & paste the 3rd line of code here.

thanks I used this cactus compost it says its for succulents

Here is a link that might be useful: link to compost i used

Nikki,

It might be fine (I've never used it), but almost invariably prepackaged C&S soil needs additives to help it drain better. With Crassula ovata 'Gollum', the drainage isn't as important as, for example, Ariocarpus fissuratus, but the soil that you're using would likely need additional perlite/gravel/Turface/etc. for the plant to be happy and growthful.
