Mahaloplants Elephant plant

In terms of care, the Portulacaria afra requires a lot of light and little water. It is recommended to plant it in well-draining soil and to water only when the soil is completely dry. The plant should be repotted every two to three years to encourage new growth. In cold climates, it is advisable to keep the plant indoors, as it is not very frost-resistant.

The Portulacaria afra, also known as the elephant bush, is a succulent from South Africa. It mainly occurs in dry, rocky areas and is often found in the South African provinces of Eastern Cape and Western Cape.
