The Quirky Tubular Jade Plant That's Winning Hearts Across Australian Gardens

G'day plant lovers! Looking for something truly special to add to your plant collection? Meet Crassula Shrek's Ears – the cheeky shrek ears plant that's become one of Australia's most sought-after succulents. With its distinctive tubular, trumpet-shaped leaves that curl just like the famous ogre's ears, this unique variety of jade plant brings playful personality and sculptural beauty to any space.

What Makes Shrek's Ears So Special?

The Crassula Shrek's Ears is a rare cultivar of Crassula ovata that's captured the imagination of Australian succulent enthusiasts from Brisbane to Perth. Unlike traditional jade plant varieties with flat, rounded leaves, Shrek's Ears produces extraordinary tubular foliage that rolls inward, creating finger-like projections in vibrant green with stunning red-tipped edges when grown in bright light.

This unique shaped is closely related to Gollum Jade and is sometimes called Ogre Ears, but Shrek's Ears has distinctly more curled, trumpet-like leaves that grow in tight, compact clusters. The playful appearance makes it an instant conversation starter and a must-have for collectors seeking something beyond ordinary succulents.

Key Features:

  • Distinctive Foliage: Tubular, curled leaves with vibrant red accents.
  • Compact & Versatile: Perfect for containers, bonsai-style displays, or fairy gardens.
  • Easy-Care Succulent: Drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and ideal for beginners.
  • Seasonal Blooms: Produces clusters of delicate white to pale pink flowers in winter.
  • Indoor & Outdoor Appeal: Thrives in bright windowsills or warm outdoor gardens.

Perfect for Australian Growing Conditions

The Crassula Shrek's Ears thrives beautifully across most Australian climate zones:

  • Queensland & Northern NSW: Loves the warm, dry conditions. Place in morning sun with afternoon shade during peak summer heat. Water sparingly – once every 10-14 days during active growth.
  • Sydney & Coastal Areas: Thrives in bright light with good air circulation. Perfect for balcony gardens and outdoor entertaining areas. Watch for increased humidity during summer; ensure free draining soil to prevent root issues.
  • Melbourne & Southern Regions: Excellent indoor plant for bright windowsills. Can move outdoor in summer but bring inside before first frost. The cooler autumn temperatures produce spectacular red color.
  • Adelaide & Perth: Ideal conditions! Hot, dry summers suit this drought tolerant beauty perfectly. Provide some afternoon shade during 40°C+ days. Winter growing season produces best results.
  • Tasmania & ACT: Best grown indoor near sunny windows or in protected outdoor spots during warmer months. Definitely frost-sensitive – move inside by April.

Care Guide:

  • Light: Full sun to bright indirect light for best color.
  • Water: Let soil dry completely between waterings.
  • Soil: Use a free-draining cactus/succulent mix.
  • Temperature: Prefers warm, dry conditions; protect from frost.
  • Propagation: Simple to grow from cuttings or leaf segments.

Styling Ideas for Your Shrek's Ears

This versatile plant works beautifully in multiple applications:

  • Bonsai Styling: The compact growth habit and woody stem development make Shrek's Ears perfect for bonsai-style container displays. Train into traditional shapes or let it develop naturally into a sculptural living artwork.
  • Fairy Gardens: The quirky, whimsical foliage adds playful character to miniature garden scenes. Mix with other small plant for magical landscapes.
  • Container Gardens: Pairs beautifully with other drought tolerant succulents like Echeveria, Sedum, and cactus varieties. The tubular leaves provide textural contrast in mixed arrangements.
  • Indoor Feature Plant: Display as a solo specimen in a decorative pot on desks, shelves, or windowsills. The unique shaped leaves draw the eye and spark conversation.
  • Outdoor Rock Gardens: Tuck into rock garden crevices or use as edging along paths. Combines beautifully with Australian native plants that tolerate similar conditions.
  • Vertical Gardens: The compact, non-invasive roots make it suitable for living walls and vertical plant displays.

Great for heavy duty chewers
Flavor Name: Steak, Size: Medium
Our two dogs love these bones. They’re very durable for heavy duty chewers and it takes them a fairly good time to get through them. They must love the taste because it’s the bone they first pick up. I’ve gotten two flavors so far, beef and the peanut butter. Our dogs love them and because of that so do we.

Seems great, but not for my lab
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium, Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
I am rating this, to some degree, from a hypothetical standpoint. It SEEMS like a great bone. It SEEMS like it will last quite a while and withstand some avid chewers. However, I can't say for certain because it just wasn't well-loved by my Black Lab. She has a penchant for chewing animal bones. She loves to find wildlife bones in our yard and munch on them, so we do our best to provide healthy chewing options in the house. She will go to town on a cow's joint and even enjoys a peanut butter filled Kong from time to time, but this bone just didn't meet her expectations. It's not a bad bone. It has a very rugged feel and seems like it would be safe if bits and pieces were to begin coming off, like they're safely edible. I guess (and I can't say for sure..) it just doesn't have as much of a meaty flavor as many dog's like. If your pup is a Nylabone chewer- or likes to chow down on your loafers- this bone may be a perfect new addition to his/her toy bin.

Bone for destroyers
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Small
4 months ago I Bought this bone for my 90lb lab who destroys all his bones, but not this one! It barely has any teeth/chew marks on it and it’s one of his favorites. It was a great find and I’ll be sure to buy again. If you have a dog that destroys bones I’d give this one a try.

Immediate Doggy Happiness!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
Great dog bones! These are a nice size for my 55-pound Aussie, as well as our 96-pound Alaskan Shepherd. They are big enough to last for a while, and big enough to see so that I don't step on them with my bare feet; part of this is that they stick up off the floor a bit, instead of being a flat bone, all in one plane.
