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.

Stop complaining about the size and review the actual product! (Rant, Review, & Recipe)
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
I was a little hesitant at first to buy this starter size pouch because of the price. I wanted good quality but kept asking myself, "What if I don't like it?" The company offers a 100% refund on their product so I went for it. Problem solved!
RANT: The biggest complaint I see from people on here is in regards to the amount you are getting for the price. They are not reviewing the quality of the item within the packaging or the flavor, etc. If you don't review the actual product and focus only on the quantity or packaging, the review is mostly worthless. As consumers, we get enough worthless reviews that are paid for, we don't need more worthless reviews because people only want to focus on the quantity and packaging and not review the quality. All are important in a review but the quality should be what is focused on.
Why is that that because it is a smaller size, people feel entitled to receive it for next to nothing? These are probably the same people that pay almost $2 for a 20 oz bottle of soda while the 2 liter bottle is only $1 and they don't bat an eyelash.
What they fail to understand is that making smaller sizes like this is not very cost effective for them to make. It probably costs them the same, or close to the same amount of money to purchase the bags they use for this size as it does for a larger size. These sampler sizes don't sell as well either. Unlike the bottle of soda that is "personalized" in size for the consumer to grab and go, this is a product that takes time and effort for the consumer to prepare. It is not meant to be a personalized size. If it were, people would have no problem paying for the convenience. Consumers are so spoiled and don't understand the costs associated with what it takes to import, pay the farmers a fair wage, the manpower and materials it takes to package the product, etc. I can guarantee you however, if a fair wage is not paid, someone is bound to call the 5:00 news! If you want sample sizes, fair wages, and the like, the consumer is going to have to pay for them or the company will go out of business really fast.
How many people have purchased an actual vanilla bean? Or saffron? Or truffles? No one seems to have a problem paying a high price for these items but complain about $10 for 30g of quality culinary matcha. Just like those items, a little matcha goes a long way.
It depends on how you plan to use it. If you are going to bake with it, buying a starter size is not cost effective for you.
If you are using it to make a tea latte, which is why I bought it, this is still gives you enough for 15 lattes that are 16 oz in size making them roughly $1.63 each (my recipe for this is below). Costs will vary depending on your ingredients of choice, and the area you live in. My numbers are based on $10 for 15 servings of this matcha and $0.08 per oz of organic vanilla almond milk in Austin, TX. Go to a coffee shop and you will pay at least $5 for a matcha latte of the same size, which is yet another thing buyers won't complain about. OK, RANT OVER...ON TO THE REVIEW!
REVIEW/COMPARISON: I used to hate the taste of Matcha but after years of taste bud readjustment, I decided to give it another try at Starbucks. They use Teavana brand for their lattes which is like Jade Leaf and does not use fillers and is organic. I try to avoid dairy so I used almond milk for my iced latte instead. Neither their tea or almond milk is sweetened so I added 3 pumps of vanilla to their venti size (they usually use 6 if you want it sweetened). Something about their almond milk leaves a bad aftertaste but before that hit, it was really good. Like most people, I can't afford $5 a day for one of these so I decided to buy the powder to make on my own at home (I was a barista in a former life so I often do this with my coffee concoctions too).
What I don't like about the Teavana brand is that it is much more expensive ($25 for 40g) and they claim it is ceremonial grade and yet, it looks and tastes exactly like Jade Leaf's culinary grade. In the brief research I did before buying, not a single self-proclaimed matcha aficionado EVER said to use ceremonial grade for a latte. They all very plainly stated that it was NOT for culinary use and that the taste is quite different. It is also higher in chlorophyll so it is a much brighter green color. That begs the question as to why Teavana, which looks and tastes the same as Jade Leaf is labeled ceremonial grade and being used for lattes when it is clearly the same culinary grade.
This morning, I made my first iced latte with this stuff from Jade Leaf. Using an organic, vanilla (sweetened) almond milk I found it was perfectly sweet and still had the very slight hint of the bitterness that comes from green tea. No weird almond milk aftertaste like the one from Starbucks. Needless to say, in the end, I will be buying this again in a larger size. It does say to store it in the fridge so that is where mine went when I was done with it. I plan to do a juice fast soon and a few recipes I have seen call for green tea for an extra metabolic and antioxidant boost. I plan to use this instead since it is so much more nutritionally dense than regular tea leaves.
RECIPE: They offer some recipe options on their Amazon listing and also on their website, but this was my super simple one that I threw together and was delicious.
Iced Matcha Vanilla Almond Latte:
4 oz (1/2 c) hot water (not boiling but barely steaming to help dissolve the matcha easily)
1 tsp Jade Leaf Organic Matcha
12 oz (1-1/2 c) cold vanilla flavored almond milk, or other milk of choice
Sweetener of choice, to taste (optional, I don't use any because my almond milk is already sweetened)
Ice cubes
NOTE: Sweetening options will have to be done at different steps depending on what you are using. If you are using liquid sugars like Torani or homemade simple syrups, those can go in at any time. Honey, agave, coconut nectar, sugar, and artificial sweeteners, should be blended in when you whisk the matcha into the hot water otherwise they will not dissolve properly and will settle at the bottom of the cup.
1. In a glass measuring cup, add 4 oz hot water.
2. Add 1 tsp of matcha powder and whisk together (see note for adding optional sweeteners)
3. Pour into a 16-20 oz cup over a few ice cubes to cool it.
4. Top off with the 12 oz vanilla almond milk (or other milk of choice) and stir to blend.
Add more ice if desired.
ENJOY Y'ALL!

Matcha Powder
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
Jade Leaf Matcha has become my go-to matcha powder, and I keep coming back to it time and time again. The quality is consistently great, with a fresh flavor and vibrant green color that mixes well into drinks and recipes. I use it regularly for matcha lattes, smoothies, and even baking, and it always delivers great results.
For a culinary-grade matcha, I think the flavor is excellent—not overly bitter and smooth enough to enjoy daily. It blends easily and provides the perfect matcha taste without breaking the budget. I’ve tried other brands over the years, but this is the one I continue to repurchase. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality matcha for everyday use, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

Matcha
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
I haven’t decided if I really like Matcha, as I got this, just to find that out. I find that the packaging is interesting, and it is best, probably, to store it in the package it comes in. It has a mild flavor, and I am just making tea with it, as I don’t bake any more. It is a bright green powder with a smooth, mild taste, and in a clever package.

A Premium Matcha Experience for the True Connoisseur
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
I recently had the pleasure of trying the Jade Leaf Matcha Organic Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder, and it truly lives up to its reputation as a high-quality product. As someone who enjoys matcha regularly, I was eager to compare this offering to others on the market, and I have to say I was very impressed.
The first thing I noticed was the vibrant green color of the powder. It’s a rich, deep green that is indicative of the quality and freshness of the leaves. When prepared, the tea has a smooth, silky texture and a natural sweetness that makes it enjoyable both on its own and as an addition to smoothies or lattes. I appreciate that this matcha doesn’t have the bitterness that can sometimes accompany lesser-quality varieties, making it a perfect choice for ceremonial use or a relaxing daily treat.
As a ceremonial grade matcha, it’s clear that Jade Leaf has carefully sourced and processed the tea leaves. The flavor is balanced and complex, with grassy, vegetal notes followed by a subtle sweetness. It has the perfect level of umami, which is an essential characteristic of a high-quality matcha. I’ve tried a variety of brands, but this one stands out for its consistency and superior taste.
The packaging is also noteworthy. The resealable bag ensures the matcha stays fresh, which is crucial for preserving its delicate flavor and antioxidants. It’s easy to scoop out the right amount without making a mess, and the instructions on the back are clear and helpful for those new to preparing matcha.
Whether you’re a seasoned matcha drinker or new to the world of green tea, this Jade Leaf matcha provides a top-notch experience. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an authentic, high-quality matcha that delivers excellent taste and a sense of calm and clarity with every sip.
