Plant Category:
Succulent

Plant/Product Description:
Portulacaria variegata, commonly known as Elephant Bush Variegated, is a striking succulent with variegated, round, fleshy leaves that feature shades of green, cream, and pink. This low-maintenance plant grows as a small, branching shrub, making it perfect for containers, hanging baskets, or succulent arrangements. It thrives in well-draining soil and can be used in both indoor and outdoor settings. The plant is a slow-grower and requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.

Plant Care Notes:

  • Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Too much sun can cause the plant to scorch.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to avoid root rot.
  • Soil: Requires well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
  • Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
  • Dormancy: Portulacaria variegata is dormant in the winter, requiring minimal water during this period.
  • Propagation: Can be propagated by stem cuttings.
  • Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.

Toxicity:
Portulacaria variegata is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
