“Introducing the Portulacaria Afra (Elephant Bush) Plant, a versatile and charming succulent with small, round leaves. Ideal for succulent enthusiasts and enhancing any space.”

Portulacaria afra, commonly known as the Elephant Bush or Dwarf Jade, is a succulent plant native to South Africa. It is a member of the family Didiereaceae and is often used in landscaping and as a houseplant.

The Elephant Bush features small, round, glossy leaves that are green when young but can turn shades of red and brown in bright sunlight. The plant can grow up to 15 feet tall in its native habitat but typically remains much smaller when grown as a houseplant.

The plant is drought-tolerant and prefers well-draining soil. It can be grown in full sun or partial shade, but it will grow best in bright light. When grown indoors, it should be placed near a window that receives plenty of sunlight.

The Elephant Bush is easy to care for and requires minimal maintenance. It is a slow-growing plant and does not require frequent watering. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it is important to allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again.

Propagation of the Elephant Bush can be achieved through stem or leaf cuttings, which should be allowed to dry out before being planted in well-draining soil.

Overall, the Elephant Bush is a visually appealing, low-maintenance succulent plant that can add a unique touch to any indoor or outdoor space. Its small size and ease of care make it an excellent choice for those new to gardening or those looking to add some greenery to their homes or offices.
