Cacti & Succulents

Help identifying this succulent pls!

last modified: 9 years ago

Any help identifying even the genus would be appreciated... I have never seen it bloom. As you can hopefully see it has main stems with the fleshy finger like tubers coming off it. The ends of some of the tubers are 'dimpled' (makes me think of a sucker pad lol)

It's a Crassula, either Hobbit or Gollum. Those are its leaves, not tubers.

The four pics above are of a Crassula ovata 'Gollum'.

The Hobbit variety has leaves are folded/quilled usually on the undersides and don't have the suction cup ends.

Neither type flower as readily as the more commonly seen type of Jade plant.
