The violet is a light purple/lavender, it also cascades. I can give a couple branches off my jades. Nothing will be rooted. I will look at your lists and get back to you both.

Crassula ovata Hobbit has much larger leaves (nearly the size of normal Crassula ovatas) and they are merely folded in on themselves, not completely tubular and flat-topped as is Gollum. Your plant is indeed a Gollum. Here is a close up of Hobbit

I would give it a total makeover. In that I mean that I would bare root the thing, carefully so as not to damage too many roots, and give it a home in the gritty mix. Jades are a tough plant, usually only being vulnerable to root rot, and occasional mealy bugs, which can be a serious problem if left unchecked. Anyway, it won't be easy to do this kind of work on such a large plant, which is why I never buy anything that big. But, for $9, I don't know that I could have passed it up either. I don't know you, so I have to take your word that such a large plant costed only $9, and if you truly did, someone made a mistake or is a complete moron. I was at a nursury looking around, and they had several large jades. They had a 6 foot variegated one for $1500. The 2 to 3 footers themselves were around $100. Enough on that. As for how to approach such a job, well, it'd probably be easiest to make some contraption to gently snag on the trunk, and hang it from something. If you use rags or old cut up t-shirts to make straps, you can snug them up around the trunk below some thick branches. You'll need a few to keep the pressure off any one spot. You then strategically loop a rope through the straps, and hoist it up. Then you'll have to sit injun style and loosen up the roots, which can be tough when they intertwine. After removing ALL the peat soil and washing the roots, remove any that look rotted. Then lower into the new pot, one that is big enough to fit the root ball, with a couple inches to spare around the edge. Fill with gritty mix, making sure to get the soil in around all the roots. For support, you can use plastic spring loaded clamps, found at your local hardware store or big box store. Also get some romex cable, the type used for electrical wiring in houses. Romex cable is thick enough not to damage the tree when you wrap it around the trunk. It is a bundle of solid wires, so it bends good, and provides rigid support. Put 3 or 4 clamps on the pot rim, and use these to run your support cables to. Do this while to plant is still supported by the hanging contraption. Then, you need to figure out how you're going to move this monsterous heavy tree. Hold off on watering for a week after the repot to allow any damaged roots to heal. Again, this project is going to suck, and you'll be asking why in the tarnation you bought it. For a piece of mind, I've done this before, only with a 7 foot tall madagascar palm tree. I had to wrap it in fiberglass insulation to prevent breaking the huge thorns before making the custom noose. As for where to set your jade, well, if it was in shade, then start with that. Slowly acclimate it to the sunny spot where you intend to keep it. Good luck! Joe

Rachel. Your Jade was a real bargain. Aside from one leaf, remaining foliage looks healthy. Are there other brown leaves/edges? I don't see any in the photo. The one brown-edged leaf looks like it was nibbled or bent. If either happened, it's natural for a leaf to brown. Just remove it. I don't pot in gritty mix, but the mediums I use are well-draining. Fast-draining soil dries quicker than standard soils. Repotting can be stressful, especially when mediums are changed. Your best bet is to ask someone who uses gritty mix for watering instructions. If brown leaf continues, it's possible you're under-watering. But, please don't fret..Every now and then a leaf yellows/browns..change of season can be a factor. However, if browning continues, it's something more than seasonal change. Toni
