  •   Crassula ovata 'Ogre Ears' Jade is a captivating succulent cultivar belonging to the Crassulaceae family, prized by collectors worldwide as a genuinely rare find. Native to the rocky, arid regions of South Africa and Mozambique, it evolved to thrive in nutrient-poor soils with long dry spells. This easy care plant has since won hearts far beyond its homeland, becoming a standout in succulent collections everywhere.

      What sets Crassula ovata 'Ogre Ears' Jade apart immediately are its tubular, finger-like leaves that curl and pucker at the tips, mimicking a fantastical creature's ears. The thick, fleshy leaves are a rich jade green with rosy-red margins that deepen beautifully in bright light and cooler temperatures. Its upright, branching growth style builds a compact, tree-like silhouette over time, making it one of the most visually distinctive members of the Crassula genus.

      Crassula ovata 'Ogre Ears' Jade can produce delicate clusters of small, star-shaped pale pink to white flowers, typically in late autumn through winter. Blooming is triggered by a drop in nighttime temperatures, so moving this low maintenance plant to a cooler spot in autumn can reward you with a charming floral display. The flowers carry a light, subtle sweetness and appear right when most houseplants are taking a rest, making the bloom season a genuine treat.

      Crassula ovata 'Ogre Ears' Jade is a fantastic drought tolerant, low humidity plant that suits busy plant lovers and frequent travellers alike, surviving a 10-day trip without a caretaker. Its deep root system benefits from a heavy pot to anchor the upright growth, and it loves spending summer on a patio or balcony as a true outdoor plant. Because cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the plant, place your Crassula ovata 'Ogre Ears' Jade on a high shelf or in a room your animals cannot access, and keep it equally out of reach of toddlers. Its tolerance for dry heated air makes it a wonderful low-maintenance companion in centrally heated homes, though keep it away from direct AC or heater vents.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
