When and How to Water Your Gollum jade  

Gollum jade plants are extremly drought tolerant requiring minimal watering. It's important to only water them when the soil has dried out, as overwatering can cause root rot. Succulents, including these ET's fingers, are prone to rot if their roots are constantly submerged in moisture. 

The Gollum jade should be watered 10-14 days in growing season and reduce reduce watering to once every 3-4 weeks during the dormant season, with very light moisture.

During the growing season, control watering to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Good airflow and well-draining soil are also essential to keep the plant healthy and resilient throughout its active growth period.

During the dormant season, reduce watering since excess moisture can easily lead to root rot. Fertilizing is not necessary during this time, as the plant is not actively growing. It is best to keep it in a bright location with indirect sunlight and protect it from cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C, as the plant is sensitive to frost. Keeping conditions stable will help it rest properly and prepare for healthier growth in the next season.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Golumm Jade Plant

When growing indoors, providing enough light for these desert ET's fingers is one of the most important aspects of their care.

Place your jade plant directly in front of a west- or south-facing window where it can receive about 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Rotate the plant occasionally to help it grow evenly and keep its tubular leaves compact and well-shaped.

When growing outdoors, it thrives best in a location where it can receive about 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, with some protection from intense midday sun to prevent leaf burn.

A spot with partial shade during the hottest part of the day works well, especially in warmer climates.

If grown in pots, you can move it to a sheltered area during bad weather. With the right balance of sunlight, your Gollum jade can develop stronger stems and more vibrant leaf color.

Pro Tip

  1. If they don't receive enough light, their stems may grow leggy and become pale green or yellow, so make your succulents happy and give them plenty of light.
  2. If you notice the Gollum jade ET's fingers leaves are turning yellow or brown, it may be a sign that the plant is getting too much direct sunlight.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Gollum jade prefers a light, airy, and well-draining soil that is slightly acidic, with a pH between 5.6 and 6.5. Like most succulents, it does best in soil that dries out completely between waterings. A sandy, loose texture is ideal, similar to what you would find in desert conditions. Soil that stays wet for too long can harm the plant, leading to bacterial and fungal rot. 

You can also make your own mix by combining equal parts perlite, coarse sand, and a good-quality potting soil. This blend helps improve drainage while still providing enough nutrients. You can also use our specialized succulents potting mix that includes organic mycorrhizae – perfect for promoting healthy roots and happy plants.

Gollum jade is not a heavy feeder, but it can benefit from light fertilizing during its active growing season. A balanced fertilizer, such as a 5-10-5 NPK formula, works well. Apply it once during spring to support healthy growth. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant months in fall and winter, as the plant is resting and does not need extra nutrients. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

In the United States, this ET's fingers plant is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in Southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-12.

They prefer constant temperatures above 70°F and can tolerate triple digits in the summer, so don't worry if your succulent gets too hot. 

They cannot handle frost, cold, or freezing temperatures, so make sure it doesn't get below 45°F in its environment. It can be grown as a houseplant in colder climates. ET's fingers prefers average to low humidity environments. These plants are adapted to arid conditions and have thick, fleshy leaves that store water.

So, you don't need to worry too much about providing extra humidity for them. Just make sure the air isn't excessively dry, especially during winter months when indoor heating can reduce humidity levels. 

How to Grow Indoors as a Houseplant 

Your ET's Fingers plant will do best when placed directly in front of a south or west facing window where it can receive around four to six hours of direct sunlight each day. Make sure to let the soil dry out completely before watering again, and avoid leaving the pot sitting in water since this can quickly lead to root rot.

Keep it in a room with average temperatures between 60°F and 75°F for healthy growth. Use a fast draining succulent mix to keep the roots dry and well aerated, and choose a pot with drainage holes so excess water can escape and the soil can dry faster.

Just so so okay... not too stylish but is functional, priced a bit high for basic backpack
Color: Black, Size: 15.6 Inch
This is simply a basic backpack that is comparable to below $30 laptop backpacks out there, the only thing really that is stylish design in regard to color is the inside fabric color. I've gotten my wife other laptop bags that actually have more style on the outside and yet cost less. Very very basic packpack, just a tad bit overpriced. It actually looks like a middle school backpack if you think about it's plain design and those you can find under $25, the laptop compartment is just 20% better than than school backpacks.

Durable Material & Lots of Pockets
Color: Black, Size: 15.6 Inch
This backpack is perfect for going to work or going on a trip. The several compartments within each section of the backpack make it super easy to keep things organized and separated. What I like: * Pockets & Compartments - With 3 main compartments, each with additional pockets and zippered sections within, a front pocket, and two water bottle pockets on the sides, this backpack is definitely not lacking when it comes to organization and space. It is extremely spacious and has more pockets inside each section than I would have imagined. There's a place for everything - big and small! * Material - The water-resistant material has a nice matte finish and resists water. It is durable and feels like it will hold up well with regular use. The zipper pulls are some of the best quality I've seen for a bag at this price point. They don't feel cheap or like they're going to come off after regular use. * Comfort & Convenience - The shoulder straps have a decent amount of padding without being bulky, making the backpack feel more elevated than a typical school backpack. I LOVE the strap across the back of the bag. It makes traveling and moving through the airport a breeze - just slide the strap over your suitcase handle and you don't have to carry the backpack on your back. What could use improvement: * Interior Color - The only complaint I have about this backpack is that the listing says the interior color is tan and the color in the image is a light tan ... but the actual color is a gold color, which is not my style or taste. Despite the discrepancy in the interior color, this backpack is a great option for a variety of uses, and the quality and durability make it a great option for everyday use as well as when you're traveling.

Stylish and Roomy Multifunctional Laptop Backpack
Color: Atrovirens, Size: 15.6 Inch
The GOLF SUPAGS Laptop Backpack is what happens when practicality finally meets clean, understated style. The “Atrovirens” shade is a deep, foresty green color that feels sophisticated and gender-neutral, making it equally perfect for men and women. This is a very good looking, on trend tonal backpack that can last you forever, long after you've graduated. It’s water-resistant (which I immediately tested during a light rain, passed beautifully) and made of a smooth, dense fabric that doesn’t wrinkle or pill. The zippers glide cleanly so no snagging or loose threads. And, most importantly, every pocket has purpose. You get multiple compartments, including a padded section that fits a 15.6” laptop snugly, a front organizer for chargers and pens and a hidden back pocket for valuables (passport, cash, etc. when you're traveling.). What surprised me most though is how comfortable it feels when loaded. The padded straps and breathable back panel distribute weight evenly, which makes long commutes or travel days much easier. It even stands upright on its own, so no more floppy bag collapse under desks. This bag is so efficiently designed to be functional in any instance. In a world full of generic backpacks, this bag looks great and is smart, stylish and built to last. I definitely give GOLF SUPAGS five stars because this bag quietly outperforms the loud, overhyped brands.
