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.

Three books in one....
Format: Paperback
This is a three books in one. Could You Survive The Cretaceous Period, Could You Survive The Jurassic Period, and Could You Survive The Ice Age? It’s a LOT of fun. The last book is, in fact, split into three stories. As you get to try to survive in North America, Europe, and Australia. I enjoyed all the setting. Though I have to be honest I failed to return to the modern time from the Jurassic period. Trapped!!!! And…my friends in the book had a kid. I hope that does not destroy the timeline. But I enjoyed it. It reminded me a lot of the old Time Machine books.

They choose reading over screen time!
Format: Paperback
The nephews (10 & 8) love these kinds of books! I bought the prehistoric one as well and after they were done they swapped to continue their adventures! They're asking for more and choose the books over screen time! I'd say thats a win for the Aunt!

Awesome!
Format: Hardcover
This was an awesome book with a focus on friendship and family which isn't seen often enough in YA. If you liked Who's That Girl, you'll love this music infused book. I have a full review for this book posted on my blog: Reading, Writing, And Me.

She starts the book off fairly amusing and relateable with an excellent depiction of anxiety and paranoia
Format: Paperback
This was actually a 3.5 star read for me, but the more I pondered it over the two-day span between finishing it and reviewing it, I realized it wasn't quite remarkable enough for me to round up. Here We Are Now tells the story of Taliah, a biracial white/Arabic teen who's never met her father. She's only working on an educated guess that he might be Julian Oliver, rockstar sensationalist, when the man shows up at her door one day to tell her that her assumptions were correct - and he wants to take her to meet his family, including his dying father. Tal isn't the most enjoyable narrator in the beginning of the story. She starts the book off fairly amusing and relateable with an excellent depiction of anxiety and paranoia, but those feelings quickly morph into a level of snark and distrust that's not pleasant to read through. Despite the fact that Julian's entire existence points blatantly to a million lies Tal's mother has fed her throughout her life, Tal refuses to place any blame on her mother. The nice thing about Taliah, however, is how much she grows; throughout the story, through a handful of "tough love" scenarios from multiple friends and family members, she learns that life isn't as black and white as she thinks it is. She grows to slowly trust people and open up, and is forced to come to terms with her unhealthy level of possessiveness over her best friend, Harlow. The most unexpected thing about Here We Are Now was how quickly and how much I fell in love with Tal's father, Julian. From the opening of the story, I honestly expected him to be this flighty, dirtbag sort of stereotypical rockstar who would show up, get her hopes up, and then shatter her dreams a few times before disappearing again at the end of the book. That is totally not Julian at all, though. From the beginning, he's awkward, uncertain, and a little bit shy about learning he's Taliah's father. I won't spoil the fine details for you, but we learn that Julian hasn't been half bad enough to deserve some of the events of the past, and he's actually a pretty well-meaning guy. His banter with Tal is so enjoyable, and I loved the way the we got to see the past through his memories, but they were written in Lena's (Tal's mother) perspectives. Harlow is Tal's childhood best friend, who happens to be a lesbian. I loved the idea of Harlow to bits: she's obsessed with baking, she's sassy, she's proud of her sexuality, and she's got a good head on her shoulders. Unfortunately, her actual interactions with Tal and the other characters in the story are cringe-y most of the time, and her "tough love" spiel about not relying on only one person would have been a lot better if it hadn't been laced with her breaking a promise to Tal so she could hang out with her girlfriend. The romance in this book was one hundred percent the biggest disappointment in the entire story. It felt so incredibly lackluster and out of place that I probably would have rounded up to 4 stars if I could have somehow gone through and edited out the entire existence of this friend-of-the-family character. He's not a bad kid, but it would be so nice to see a YA contemporary every now and then that doesn't end in a couple forming, and this book would have been perfect for that! Totally a missed opportunity. First of all, I am not Muslim - or religious at all - and I cannot speak for how good this rep was. I do know, however, that Jasmine Warga identifies as a Middle Eastern/American woman, so the POC rep is own-voice and was so enjoyable to read. Tal's mother's perspectives frequently reflect on her Muslim beliefs and family, as well as how incredibly homesick she is for Jordan. She frets constantly that she is letting her parents down if she doesn't make a name for herself in the States, and there is even a solid bit of conversation about hijab-wearing and eating habits! Of course, there is also the lesbian rep that I mentioned in Harlow's case, which I found really enjoyable. Harlow is out and proud and has no questions about her sexuality. There are no tropes, or painful moments we commonly see through queer characters in YA contemporary titles. All in all, Here We Are Now was a fun read, but nothing spectacular. Had it not been for the romantic aspect, I would have given this 4 stars, but it was such a downer that I couldn't justify rounding up the rating. If you're looking for a fun YA contemporary story about family, with some nice diverse representation thrown in, or if you're already a Jasmine Warga fan, I'd recommend picking it up.
