Variegated Elephant Bush Succulent 4” pot (Portulacaria Afra)

This succulent can sometimes be referred to as the "mini jade" plant, but unlike the traditional jade succulent (Crassula), Portulacaria is non-toxic for most house pets. Interestingly, in its native habitat of South Africa, it serves as a vital food source for elephants and other wildlife. 

CARE:

• Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, which can enhance the red/pink tones in its variegated foliage. However, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.
• Allow the soil is nearly dry out between waterings 
• Highly adaptable to typical indoor humidity levels. It does not require high humidity and can still thrive in drier environments
• Portulacaria can be prone to acclimatization shock if there’s a sudden change in its environment. It's best to keep it in a warm, consistent environment and avoid abrupt temperature shifts to cold drafts or intense heat, which can stress the plant.
