# I found a plant!🤣 Planta said I had a gollum jade plant, and I…

I found a plant!🤣 Planta said I had a gollum jade plant, and I remember buying it a year or two ago. But I don’t remember the last time I saw it so I assumed it died last year over the several month stretch I was very sick. But I just found it!!🥳

I have several plants that I’m not sure I own anymore but I also have several propagations from their leaves, so I am waiting until they are bigger to see which ones they are. But they are all grapetoveria or sedums (or some similar cross) so definitely not a jade. This gollum plant has been nagging me for an update for 11 months and I keep snoozing it. 😴

I just realized this week that when I mindlessly water all the plants in the school room, I am watering two jade plants. The variegated one and another funny/stunted looking jade. I’m always doing school with my kids as I do this, so I’m never really paying attention to which plant. Just if it needs water. I finally registered I had that second jade up there and was really feeling crazy.🤪 I KNOW I didn’t buy a traditional jade because as much as I wanted one, my mom had one that I was going to get a leaf from when it got bigger. She has decided to give it to me as she wasn’t able to give it enough light and she knew I loved them.❤️ But that is somewhere else. So where in the world did this jade come from?!🤪

On a whim, I decided to scan it on Planta and every single scan came back gollum jade.🤣 It has much more normal looking leaves then I remember, but I guess it’s been hiding in plain site this whole time! Apparently I’ve been mindlessly caring for it for the last year!😄

Thank you! ❤️ It lives on a high north facing window in a room upstairs so it gets plenty of not harsh light and my cats can’t reach it. I am in this room at some point most days so I can easily keep an eye on the succulent’s water needs. I have ADHD so it’s easy to forget things but these never get forgotten too long. It helps to have a bathroom as the next room over so I don’t get distracted going to water them!😅 I just can’t believe I’ve been mindlessly watering it for a year without realizing I had a bonus plant.🤣

That is a gollum jade. The leaves look flat on the bottom and more rounded on the upper leaves. Looks like it needs a much sunnier place because the tips are usually red and light green to yellow leaves. They are trouble free plants and require little maintenance so I can see how it would be over looked lol  
I hope this helps you. Best of luck 🍀

That is gorgeous! 😍 Thanks for the tip! I really appreciate your input.❤️

I have a variegated jade, ogre ears jade, and a variegated elephant bush that live in these north facing windows. Everything else rotates through here if it needs less light for some reason (baby plant, been in the mail for a week, etc). Several plants over wintered up there as well.

I keep playing around with what’s in this window because I really want to have some succulents up there. But it’s high up on the wall (just over my 5’ 4” head) so Echeveria and other low profile succulents wouldn’t be seen. We also had a cat that was “plant knocking over” obsessed get up there a few times until I moved the big plants to the left window (blocked his path), so anything smaller got dumped 5 feet on it’s head (thankfully on carpet). 🤦‍♀️ I THINK we blocked his path now, but I’m sure the gollum got knocked over a few times and missed several waterings while I had a health crisis last summer. He’s a tough little booger of a plant, that’s for sure! I knew he looked weird as a plant (wavy branches, smaller leaves, etc) so now that I know what he is, I can figure out when he’s happy.😄 Verses his natural crazy.🤪 I’ll move him on out front, where he’ll get part sun from the east but definitely more than it was getting!

I also realized the other day that the variegated Jade I have can get red on the edges when it gets more sun. But I really like the dark green/white contrast, so I’ll leave it up there as long as the plant looks happy. 😊
