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.

Nice looking
Size: 11, Color: Cognac Grainy
I normally wear an 11.5 (including other Marc Jacob’s- including this make from 2024). The shoes are a pretty soft leather. I had to return for a size 11 which feels slightly tight but now, through experience, I know will stretch. I wear these shoes almost every day in black or brown They look great. Note, these shoes (because all leather) wear out relatively quickly, especially the front. I keep a fake leather Pair (almost identical looking) which are not nearly as comfortable (I don’t take walks in them) but look better for dinners etc.

The "Lazy Professional" Look: Is Hands-Free Luxury Actually Real?
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Napa Leather
Living down here in Florida, my footwear needs are pretty specific. It’s hot, it’s humid, and I spent half my life rushing from the car into work or a meeting. I’ve reached that age where I value efficiency just as much as style—maybe more. I’ve been eyeing the Marc Joseph New York Hands-Free Slip-on Penny Loafers for a while, and after putting them through the wringer, here is the honest truth from someone who just wants to look sharp without the hassle. The "Just Step-In" Reality Look, the big selling point here is the "Hands-Free" tech. We’ve all seen the commercials for those athletic slip-ins, but finding that in a legitimate leather penny loafer is a different game. Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well. The heel counter is firm enough that it doesn’t collapse when you slide your foot in, but it doesn’t feel like a piece of plastic digging into your Achilles once you’re in. For those of us who are tired of bending over or hunting for a shoehorn every morning, this is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade. The Florida Factor: Comfort and Style The leather is actual calfskin (on most models), which is a must for the Florida heat. Synthetic shoes turn into a sauna within ten minutes, but these breathe reasonably well. The aesthetic is classic—it’s a "professor" shoe through and through. You can wear them with chinos and a blazer for work or throw them on with some nice jeans for a weekend lunch. Inside, they’ve got a gel heel insert and a padded footbed. It’s not quite "walking on a cloud"—let’s not over-hype it—but it’s a massive step up from the hard, flat soles of traditional dress loafers. I’ve spent four hours on my feet lecturing, and my arches didn’t hate me by the end of the day. The Sizing Gamble Here’s where you need to be careful. The consensus from other guys (and my own experience) is that the sizing is a bit of a coin toss. They tend to run a little large and sometimes wide. If you have narrow feet, you might find the sides "gaping" or flaring out when you walk, which kills the sleek look. I’d recommend ordering a half-size down if you’re usually between sizes. The Breakdown The Pros: True Hands-Free: You can actually put these on while holding a coffee and a briefcase. No hands needed. Legit Materials: The calf leather feels premium and smells like the real deal. Versatility: Perfectly bridges the gap between a "car shoe" and a formal loafer. Comfort: The gel insert makes a noticeable difference for long-duration wear. The Cons: Sizing Inconsistency: They can run wide, leading to some "heel slip" if you don't get the perfect fit. Break-in Period: The heel is stiff by design (to allow for the slip-on feature), so expect a day or two of minor stiffness. Price Point: They aren't cheap, though often on sale. Value for Money Are they worth it? If you’re comparing them to high-end Italian brands that cost $500, these are an absolute steal. They look 90% as good for a fraction of the price. However, if you're used to $60 mall shoes, the jump to $150+ might feel steep until you realize you’re paying for the convenience of never having to touch your shoes to put them on. For a daily driver in a professional setting, the value is definitely there.

Step In Look Good
Size: 11.5, Color: Cognac Napa Leather
I am wearing these shoes as I write this review, and they look and feel great. I have a bit of a disability with drop foot on the right leg and bilateral neuropathy and have been wearing step in shoes for about 10 years. But the first company that introduced leather dress and casual shoes stopped making them and now only makes sport and casual shoes. So I have been searching for some that meet my need for shoes like this and this company has given me three pairs, so far. Easy to get into, comfortable to wear, and good looking. And they take polish very well, too. (Remember how to do that?). We may buy another pair or two in different styles as well.

Runs tight. Skinny and smaller than other brands.
Size: 8.5, Color: Brown
Comfy and lots of support. Cushiony. Beware: the brown I ordered runs small. Tighter than other brands.
