Mini Jade Elephant Bush Portulacaria afra Green aka Spekboom 4" Pot Live Plant

Mini Jade or Elephant Bush Portulacaria afra 'Green' aka Spekboom: This stemmed succulent is particularly versatile and easy to grow. Plant it outdoors in warm climates and it can grow into a dense, 4' tall shrub. Keep it indoors in a small pot and it will stay a petite, bonsai plant. It is native to South Africa and Swaziland where it grows on sunny, rocky slopes.

Elephant Bush is as an easy to grow plant even for beginners. It has deep red stems that verge on purple that accent it's bright green leaves. Planted outdoors, it grows as a cascading ground cover and eventually mounds upon itself into a shrub up to 4.0' tall. Though reluctant to bloom in cultivation, P. afra can sometimes produce clusters of tiny, violet flowers in midsummer.

Despite similar appearance and care needs, P. afra is not closely related to the Jade Plants. It is, however, equally easy to grow indoors. Pick pots and soil with great drainage and place the plant near a sunny window. The stems are easily pruned into your desired form or left to cascade from a container. Water deeply but infrequently, particular during winter dormancy.
