That is none other than Jade “Gollum.” But if you want to call it “Shrek,” thats ok too!

Yes gollum, treat like a succulent and water when dry. If the “ears” look wrinkly it needs more water. Bright light but not necessarily direct.

Yours might prefer a smaller pot right now so it can dry out better between waterings.

I second the smaller pot.
