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.

They're okay-ish. Not suitable for a lot of liquid.
Size: Regular, Style: 100 Count
I use these for my opossums. They work okay-ish, but I continue to use them for the quantity and price. They're not very large animals. Make sure you are changing them out after a single pee. These really can not handle a lot of liquid. My girls both refused litter training, and so puppy pads are my only option. If your animal has large pees, I do not recommend these because it will not be able to absorb it all, and you're gonna have a mess! Thats the word I have been looking for. They can't absorb a large amount of liquid.

GOOD PRODUCT AND PRICE
Size: Regular, Style: 100 Count
The puppy pee pads are very well made at a good price. I purchased the same size pads with the same count from a competitor of Amazon, and they were more expensive, much thinner and when I tried to unfold them, some would stick together and the pads would rip.

Great for the price
Size: Regular, Style: 50 Count
These puppy pads are actually pretty good for the price I wasn’t expecting anything amazing but they do the job the absorbency is decent and it dries fast enough where my dog isn’t tracking mess everywhere the leak proof backing works most of the time and I haven’t had any major issues with it soaking through I also feel like the attractant helped a little with training because my dog started using them pretty quickly Only thing is if your dog pees a lot or goes near the edge it can leak a little and they are kind of thin compared to more expensive brands plus they slide around since there’s nothing on the bottom to hold them in place Overall I’d still buy them again they’re a good budget option especially for puppies or smaller dogs

Good size but pee leaks through :(
Size: X-Large, Style: 40 Count, Size: X-Large, Style: 40 Count
I have a 13-14 year old dog who is starting to have very frequent accidents in the house despite us taking her outside every couple of hours, she just drinks too much water which doesn’t mesh well with her weakening, old bladder. She tends to have an accident in two areas (the kitchen and right by the front door hallway) so we decided to buy some puppy pads to minimize the mess & aid in cleanup since clearly taking her outside every couple frequently isn’t helping reduce accidents. We chose these because of the size & price, which are both fantastic compared to others. It perfectly fits the two areas she tends to go so we only need to use one per area and to our surprise, she still remembers how to use puppy pads so she adapted quickly. But unfortunately, these don’t hold all of her pee as they are very thin. I just cleaned up the kitchen puppy pad and saw moisture under the pee spot on the pad. So while it does dramatically reduce how much we need to clean up (we were using one paper towel roll every 3 days just for her accidents), we still need to wipe down the floor with pet accident cleaning spray & mop. It’s not that big of an issue but it is still a bit frustrating that they don’t hold fluid well. So keep that in mind if you decide to order these, that you might still need to wipe down the floor under where your puppy/dog pees. We’ll be trying a different brand when we run out of these to see if that’s any better.

Great buy
Size: Giant, Style: 40 Count
These pads are great. Absorbent and leak resistant. Very roomy for my chihuahua to turn in her inconsistent circles before and durable enough for her to "dig" after without ripping or bunching up.
