Portulacaria afra
Portulacaria afra - Dwarf Jade or Elephant Bush
Easy care succulent from South Africa.
A houseplant, anywhere with adequate bright light. Drought tolerant. Chronic over watering can kill the plant. Can go for several years without repotting. But do let the soil dry out. Fertilize at one-third strength during the growing season. Prune by pinching or cutting above a pair of pads
WARNING: Elephants attack this plant as if it were a cat attacking catnip.

so beautiful, i was just searching for elephant bush and got your site link. I've been growing this for years in pots but never tried to make bonsai, but after seeing these pics its just Irresistible
ReplyDeleteI also have a bonsai elephant bush which I have trained for eight years. I have not gotten the leaves to miniturize like the larger specimins in the photos above. Beautiful examples I must say!
