Portulacaria Afra Tree "Elephant Bush"

Portulacaria afra, a South African native, is also known as Small-Leaf Jade or Elephant Bush (due to it being part of the African elephant's diet). This succulent makes an excellent plant for beginning bonsai enthusiasts due to its easy care and ability to take to many shapes. In its natural environment the may grow as tall as 12 feet.

Because this plant is not a North American native, it cannot be collected in the wild but may be purchased from DallasBonsai.com throughout most of the year.

Tree's Attributes:
The trunk of this fleshy wooded succulent is green on young plants, turning to a smooth reddish-brown as the plant ages. The dark green leaves are small and round, opposite, and thick because of their high moisture retention. The small blossoms range from pale pink to purplish, and will only bloom in winter when the plant senses changes in the amount of sunlight.

Temperature/Lighting/Location:
Elephant Bush Tree is considered a true indoor and outdoor bonsai, tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions. It is, however, a tropical and as such cannot be exposed to long periods of cold; freezing temperatures will kill it. When grown indoors the plant should be exposed to natural sunlight through a window, and if not possible, fluorescent lights placed very close to it. Full outdoor sun in appropriate climates will result in fast growth of foliage.

Watering:
Portulacaria afra, being a succulent, does not need frequent watering. While it will tolerate more water than many bonsai, still, be cautious about over-watering – allow the soil to become nearly dry in between watering. The interesting thing about these plants is that unlike most bonsai, jade gives off clearly visible signs of needing water – the leaves become flattened and may wrinkle. Always use a well-draining soil.

Fertilizing:
Elephant Bush Tree should be fertilized about every four weeks throughout spring and summer with a well-balanced formula. No special mix or instructions are required. This is a fast-growing bonsai when fertilized and cared for properly. Refrain from fertilizing in the winter.

Pruning/Training:
Shapes – informal upright, root-over-rock, slanting, full cascade. Forest arrangements can also be quite striking with this specimen.

These succulent bonsai are difficult to train by wiring. The branches are fragile and tend to break under too much pressure. Pinching foliage and guiding branch growth via pruning are more effective ways of achieving the shape you want. Extensive pruning is easier if the plant is allowed to dry before removing larger branches and roots. Cut flat to the bark rather than concave to minimize scarring.

The weight of the water in jade's leaves will cause the branches to naturally droop, lending to cascade style if the foliage is pinched and guided properly. Control the direction of growth by pinching off at a set of leaves that are growing in your desired direction. Remove the terminal bud from branches to stop their growth. Pinching normally needs to be done each week during the growing season on this vigorously growing bonsai.

Not like before
This was the second time I’d used this product and this shipment was not like the first order I’d gotten. This one had the texture of pudding and there was no way you could walk outside and be seen in public after applying it. It looked like mud smeared all over your body. You had to put it on at night wake up in the morning and shower, and most of it came off. You also had to clean your sheets because it was on everything you touched. This batch was complete garbage and a total waste of my money!

Really lovely skincare
I was a bit skeptical with how this would do with my skin. I have had a hard time finding products that work and feel nice and don't leave my skin feeling raw. I absolutely love this stuff. It not only feels nice when using, my skin feels so smooth and so soft after. There is no "raw" feeling or overly tight feeling. My skin feels hydrated, it looks even, my pores are a little smaller and the overall appearance is bright and healthy. I will be buying the full sizes of everything once I am out of these! You should absolutely give it a try.

Years worth if wasting money on bad products that just don’t work. THIS IS THE ONE!!
I wish I had taken before photos to show what an amazing difference this stuff makes! I was just about to break down and buy a $79 bottle of Hyaluronic Acid (although I wish they did not call it acid lol). I decided to check Amazon reviews and it had fairly good reviews, but there was one that actually had better reviews and was a fraction of the cost! Obviously this was too good to be true but warranted a try. OMG, since trying this set, I have seen a HUGE different in fine lines, blemishes and over all look of my skin! I would have never believed it if I had not seen it for myself. I have my husband hooked on it now too as well as two daughters in laws! They say they find because it balances out blemishes and pores they need less makeup. This product is an amazing product and a ridiculously good price point! I wish I could buy a lifetime supply before they raise the price lol. I love this stuff and am throwing out a huge amount of expensive products since I now have one that actually works, and just happens to be very fairly priced. Note to the manufacturer; please don’t stop making these products!

Simple routine, calm skin, zero drama
This set does exactly what it’s supposed to do, which is surprisingly refreshing. The cleanser is gentle but effective—no tight, squeaky-clean regret afterward. The hyaluronic acid hydrates without feeling sticky or like it’s just sitting on top of your face doing nothing. Everything layers well, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t pill or pick fights with the rest of your skincare. After consistent use, skin feels calmer, more balanced, and less prone to random nonsense. No fragrance, no hype, no pretending to be magic. Just straightforward products that quietly improve your skin while minding their own business. If you want a routine that works without requiring a PhD or a 12-step ritual, this is it.
