Portulacaria Afra Variegata

Plant Description Portulacaria Afra Variegata, also known by various names such as Rainbow Bush, Mini Jade, Spekboom, or Elephant Bush, this versatile stemmed succulent boasts both adaptability and ease of cultivation. Thriving in warm climates, when planted outdoors, it can transform into a lush, compact shrub standing at a height of up to 4.0 feet. Alternatively, when nurtured indoors in a petite pot, it assumes the charming form of a bonsai plant. Originating from South Africa and Swaziland, this succulent flourishes on sunny, rocky slopes. Notably, it shares a unique symbiotic relationship with elephants, who consume some of its branches. In turn, their gentle trampling aids in the natural propagation of new shrubs from stem cuttings.
