Crassula Shrek's Ears 130mm

Crassula ovata ‘Shrek’s Ears’, sometimes called ‘Gollum Jade’, is a fun and unusual succulent with tubular, trumpet-shaped green leaves that resemble the ears of the beloved ogre. Its glossy foliage often develops red tips when exposed to bright sunlight, giving it even more personality.

Easy to grow and low maintenance, it’s ideal for succulent lovers, collectors, and anyone looking to add a bit of character to their indoor or outdoor garden.

Features:

• Unique Leaf Shape: Cylindrical, spooned leaves with a red-flushed tip resemble little "Shrek ears."
• Compact Shrub Form: Can grow into a small branching shrub over time, great for bonsai-style displays.
• Low Maintenance: Drought-tolerant and beginner-friendly.
• Seasonal Blooms: May produce small starry white-pink flowers in winter under the right conditions.

Care Tips:

• Light: Thrives in full sun to bright indirect light. Sun encourages red tips.
• Watering: Allow soil to dry between waterings. Overwatering may cause root rot.
• Soil: Use well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
• Temperature: Protect from frost; grows best in warm, dry conditions.
• Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaves.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same. Plants will be shipped as bare root.
