The Elephant Bush, botanically known as Portulacaria afra, is an easy-care succulent with reddish-brown stems and clusters of small, rounded green leaves. Its branching, shrub-like growth gives it the appearance of a miniature tree, making it an attractive choice for sunny windowsills, plant shelves, desks, and succulent displays.
Also known as Dwarf Jade or Spekboom, this South African succulent stores moisture in its fleshy leaves and stems. It is drought-tolerant once established but grows best with plenty of light, fast-draining soil, and time to dry between waterings.
