Leaves turn bright red if not over-watered and the plant receives direct sun for SucculentShop.co.za Page: 3 most of the day, during drought or in cold temperatures. It has a prostrate habit, forming mats about 15 cm tall and up to a meter wide. It does best in partial sun and requires more shade in hotter inland sites When grown in shade, the leaves are bright apple green for most of the year. Although fairly drought tolerant, it requires occasional watering. Spikes of insignificant white, star-shaped flowers are borne in summer and attract bees, butterflies and other tiny insects. Works very well for hanging basket gardens. Plant in full sun or partial shade. Well-drained soil. Prune after flowering.

It is frequently used as a hedge plant because its stems branch off a lot of forming quite compact foliage agglomerations. It is also appreciated for its resistance to periods of drought and extreme temperatures and the beauty of its flowering. It is currently marketed as an ornamental plant in numerous nurseries worldwide. This species is characterized by forming stems erect low (generally nor exceed 25 cm) very branched and thin of green-red. The growth is slow compared to other species of the family although that is created by its herbaceous appearance is the opposite. In the stems, almost completely round leaves of +/- 3 cm long, SucculentShop.co.za Page: 5 slightly succulent, with a dark green coloration (reddish under intense light, small dots are observed)over the entire surface), the entire margin, petiole very short and opposite arranged. The flowers are small but have numerous in inflorescence apical forming flower stalks very branched of +/- 15 cm long. Floral stems are not kept totally erect due to the weight of the flowers.

It is native to South Africa and Mozambique, and is common as a houseplant. These plants can last a lifetime and grow to be very large with the proper care. Leaves stay green in low light conditions, edges will turn red in dry hot summer conditions. Tender soft succulent - will not tolerate frost. Known to bless the house in which it resides, the Jade Plant transcends cultures and language barriers to become one of the most popular succulents. Read More SucculentShop.co.za Page: 7 GOLLUM SHREK’S EARS - CRASSULA OVATA - TRUMPET JADE SucculentShop.co.za Page: 8 The Crassula Ovata Gollum is a variant of Crassula Ovata plants, which are also known as Jade plants. It is a peculiar-looking plant with tube-like leaves that are puckered at the ends. Crassula Ovata Gollum gets its name from a character in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings named Gollum. These jade plants are colloquially known by fun names such as spoon jade, ET’s fingers, finger jade, trumpet jade, and Shrek’s ears. The Crassula Ovata Gollum is a succulent native to South Africa and Mozambique. They usually thrive in cooler regions and are a popular houseplant. It is characterized by its long green leaves that have a reddish tinge at their tips. These plants can bloom and have flowers that can either be pink or white and SucculentShop.co.za Page: 9 have a star shape. They can grow up to 80 cm or 30 inches. They are evergreen succulents and are often a popular option for bonsai. GROWING CRASSULA OVATA GOLLUM INDOORS The Crassula Ovata Gollum is a versatile succulent, and it can be grown both indoors and outdoors as long as it is well taken care of. They need well-draining soil and sunlight so that they can grow properly. While growing Crassula Ovata Gollum indoors, you need to make sure that they are kept somewhere with a lot of natural sunlight. If you’re not sure about the amount of sunlight your plant is receiving, check its leaves’ color – a deep green color shows that the plant is not receiving enough sun, while sufficient sun exposure will make the leaves light green with a pronounced red tip. A lack of sunlight will make Crassula Ovata Gollum leaves stretch in a process known as etiolation. This means that the plant needs more sun, and growing is unnatural to get more of it. Etiolation is harmful to the plant and will make it weak. Your plant must receive enough sunlight. In case you live in somewhere with inadequate sunlight, you will need to supplement with a grow light for your Crassula Ovata Gollum. SUNLIGHT REQUIREMENTS FOR CRASSULA OVATA GOLLUM It needs 4 to 6 hours of light a day to survive and grow. They can grow very well in partial sunlight and in full sun. Before they can be placed in the full sun, they will need to be acclimatized to it to prevent sunburns. It is better to place the plant out in the sun during the mornings rather than in the afternoons. In case you live in somewhere with intense heat, invest in sunshades or ensure that Crassula Ovata Gollum only receives partial sunlight. Crassula Ovata Gollum is quite resilient when it comes to cold and frost. They can tolerate mild frost and low temperatures, but you need to make sure that they are not kept outside for too long if the weather is freezing. If you live in an area that experiences extreme winters, invest in frost cloths or mini-greenhouses for your succulents. SOIL REQUIREMENTS FOR CRASSULA OVATA GOLLUM The Crassula Ovata Gollum, like all succulents, needs well-draining soil. There are quite a few potting mixes available in the market, and you may use a cactus mix for your jade plant. If you feel that your potting mix does not drain enough, you can add perlite or sandy soil to ensure that the soil remains well- draining. Depending on your area’s weather and the humidity, you can either use a 2:1 ratio of potting mix and perlite/sandy soil or a ratio of 1:1. More humidity means that you will need more drainage, so you need to add more perlite or sandy soil.

  • Checklist of the Vascular Alien Flora of Catalonia (Northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3
    BOTANICAL CHECKLISTS Mediterranean Botany ISSNe 2603-9109 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/mbot.63608 Checklist of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3 Received: 7 March 2019 / Accepted: 28 June 2019 / Published online: 7 November 2019 Abstract. This is an inventory of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) updated to 2018, representing 1068 alien taxa in total. 554 (52.0%) out of them are casual and 514 (48.0%) are established. 87 taxa (8.1% of the total number and 16.8 % of those established) show an invasive behaviour. The geographic zone with more alien plants is the most anthropogenic maritime area. However, the differences among regions decrease when the degree of naturalization of taxa increases and the number of invaders is very similar in all sectors. Only 26.2% of the taxa are more or less abundant, while the rest are rare or they have vanished. The alien flora is represented by 115 families, 87 out of them include naturalised species. The most diverse genera are Opuntia (20 taxa), Amaranthus (18 taxa) and Solanum (15 taxa). Most of the alien plants have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century (70.7%), with a strong increase since 1970 (50.3% of the total number). Almost two thirds of alien taxa have their origin in Euro-Mediterranean area and America, while 24.6% come from other geographical areas. The taxa originated in cultivation represent 9.5%, whereas spontaneous hybrids only 1.2%. From the temporal point of view, the rate of Euro-Mediterranean taxa shows a progressive reduction parallel to an increase of those of other origins, which have reached 73.2% of introductions during the last 50 years.
