Common Name: Jade Plant, Crassula Jade Ovata 'Shrek', Gollum Jade

Scientific Name: Crassula ovata 'Shrek'

A unique variety of jade plant, it has long, tubular, trumpet-shaped leaves that resemble suction cups, tube worms, or the ears of the popular animated ogre Shrek (hence, the name).  Not only is it a fun plant to look at, with a fun name, but is also an excellent edible plant for your herbivore and omnivore arid-dwelling reptiles to consume!

-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals: Small to medium, and some large, reptiles from arid climates.  A particular favorite of bearded dragons, blue-tongue skinks, and other omnivorous or herbivorous reptiles, as it makes for a healthy snack!

Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFirma, TerraSahara, some TerraAranea

Soil Depth: Shallow to moderate with proper drainage

Lighting: High, but placement directly under a heat or basking lamp is not recommended.

Humidity & Misting: 0%-40%; none required.

Mature Plant Size & Root System: Jade plants are succulent shrubs that can get large and "woody" with age, but can be easily pruned (and propagated).  They have shallow, wide fibrous root system will develop a thicker central root with age.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: High temperature & drought tolerant.  Best used as a focal plant, or as a corner placement.

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Non-toxic if consumed.  When ingested, these succulents help re-hydrate your pet as well as provide enrichment for your animals by allowing them to instinctively forage for food.  Excessive consumption of succulents can cause runnier stool, but it will not hurt your herbivore or omnivore. 

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 4" pot jade plant shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.
