Medium Elephant Bush (Portulacaria afra)
Commonly known as the Dwarf Jade, or Porkbush, this bushing succulent is native to desert-like subtropics of South Africa. With its tree-like shape and small round, lily-pad like leaves, the Elephant Bush will bring an African Savannah feel to your space!
Being that it's from a subtropical environment, it thrives in high humidity, warm temperatures, slightly dry soil, indirect bright light and will grow up to 2 to 3 ft. tall indoors. This makes them great to place on a desktop, bookcase, cubby or small nook in your home that is well-lit, but doesn't get direct light.
