Portulacaria Large Leaf Form 130mm

Portulacaria afra, commonly known as Elephant Bush, is a hardy and attractive succulent native to South Africa. The Large Leaf Form is a striking variation known for its broader, rounder leaves compared to the standard variety, offering a lush and vibrant appearance.

This drought-tolerant plant features reddish-brown stems and fleshy, green leaves that grow densely along its branches. It can be grown as a compact shrub, trained as a bonsai, or used in mixed succulent arrangements. Fast-growing and resilient, it’s a perfect choice for indoor or outdoor gardens.

Key Features:

• Distinct broad-leaf variety of Elephant Bush

• Fast-growing and easy to shape

• Ideal for bonsai, hedging, or container gardens

• Drought-tolerant and low maintenance

• Great for bright indoor spaces or full sun outdoors

Care Tips:
Thrives in well-draining soil and bright, indirect sunlight. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Protect from frost and overwatering.
