succulent with branches Shop 'Ceraria namaquensis' Care & InfoCeraria namaquensis, now botanically reclassified as Portulacaria namaquensis, is a rare and slow growing shrub known for its thick, contorted gray brown branches that give the plant a bonsai like aesthetic even when left unpruned. Its small, round, succulent leaves are a muted blue green or olive tone and grow opposite along the branches. These leaves are drought deciduous, meaning they may fall during prolonged dry spells, especially if grown

Ceraria namaquensis, now botanically reclassified as Portulacaria namaquensis, is a rare and slow-growing shrub known for its thick, contorted gray-brown branches that give the plant a bonsai-like aesthetic even when left unpruned. Its small, round, succulent leaves are a muted blue-green or olive tone and grow opposite along the branches.

These leaves are drought-deciduous, meaning they may fall during prolonged dry spells, especially if grown outdoors in hotter climates. These leaves drop off altogether during summer when evaporation is at its greatest and the Ceraria plant enters a dormant stage.

Native to the dry, rocky landscapes of southern Namibia and northwestern South Africa, the Ceraria namaquensis can grow up to 2 feet tall, though in their habitat, they can be slightly taller.

Their slow growth rate and compact size make them ideal for pots, shallow rock gardens, and small-space displays.

During late spring or summer, tiny pale pink or whitish flowers may appear along the branches.

The blooms are not particularly showy but are a charming addition when they occur.

These flowers are dioecious; male and female flowers occur on separate plants, so seed production typically requires both sexes. That said, most propagation is done by cuttings, as the plant roots fairly easily in the right conditions.

When it comes to caring for Ceraria namaquensis, it requires full sun to bright indirect light to maintain compact growth and encourage strong branching.

Indoors, place it near a south- or west-facing window with maximum sunlight. Indoors, keep temperatures between 60–85°F for optimal growth.

Outdoors, it thrives in USDA hardiness zones 10–11 and must be protected from frost.

Temperatures below 30°F can damage or kill the plant. In colder zones, it’s best kept as a container plant and moved indoors during winter. 

Watering should be infrequent but deep. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of decline, especially in cooler seasons. Use a fast-draining succulent mix, opens in a new tab, and consider adding extra pumice or coarse sand for added drainage. Pruning is rarely needed but can be done to shape the plant or remove weak stems. It responds well to trimming, which can encourage branching and a more compact form.

According to ASPCA, the Ceraria namaquensis is non-toxic to pets and humans, which adds to its appeal as a houseplant. Its drought tolerance, slow growth, and bonsai-friendly character make it a low-maintenance choice for collectors.  

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Ceraria namaquensis is a prized succulent for those who enjoy sculptural plants with a desert aesthetic. Its natural bonsai appearance, drought resilience, and suitability for small containers make it ideal for indoor growers, collectors, and succulent enthusiasts in dry climates. While it grows slowly, its twisted form and charming foliage offer year-round interest with minimal effort. Order your very own Ceraria namaquensis for sale today!

Banana Boat Sport Kids Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 Oxybenzone-Free 2 pack
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Reliable, Kid-Friendly Protection with a Few Minor Drawbacks I’ve been using the Banana Boat Sport Kids Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 Oxybenzone-Free Twin Pack for several weeks now, and overall, it’s been a dependable and convenient sunscreen option for my children. As a parent, I’m always looking for products that are both safe and effective, and this sunscreen largely delivers on both fronts. One of the biggest advantages of this sunscreen is its oxybenzone-free formula. With growing awareness about potentially harmful sunscreen ingredients, I appreciate that this product avoids oxybenzone and opts for a safer formulation. It gives me greater peace of mind, especially when my kids are swimming in natural bodies of water where environmental impact is a concern. The SPF 50 protection has been effective. We've used it on sunny days at the pool and during outdoor play, and my kids have not experienced sunburns. It seems to hold up well during physical activity and water exposure. The fact that it’s water- and sweat-resistant is a huge plus, especially for active kids who are constantly on the move. The spray format is also convenient. It’s quick to apply and helps avoid the messiness of lotion, which my kids typically resist. The spray nozzle works well and delivers an even mist that makes it relatively easy to cover arms, legs, and shoulders in seconds. That said, application still requires attention to make sure the product is not being blown away in the wind or missing spots—issues common to most spray sunscreens. There are a few areas where this product could be improved. Like many aerosol sprays, it can be wasteful, especially in windy conditions. A noticeable amount of product can end up in the air rather than on the skin, which means the cans don’t last as long as you might expect. Additionally, I don’t find it ideal for the face. The spray can irritate the eyes or be accidentally inhaled by younger children. I usually pair it with a face stick or lotion sunscreen to ensure full protection without discomfort. Despite these small issues, this sunscreen has become a regular part of our outdoor routine. It’s especially handy when we need to get out the door quickly or reapply sunscreen at the park or pool. The twin pack is a good value for families, and the kid-focused formulation gives me confidence that it’s gentle on sensitive skin. In summary, the Banana Boat Sport Kids SPF 50 Spray offers strong, reliable sun protection in a convenient format that kids (and parents) don’t mind. While there are a few limitations common to spray sunscreens, they don’t outweigh the overall performance and ease of use. It’s a solid choice for families who spend a lot of time outdoors and need something effective, safe, and fast to apply.

Nice non-greasy sun screen.
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Pleased with how these don't leave us feeling gross. My son has sensory issues sometimes and can't stand the lotion style feeling sticky on him (but who does like that? Lol) and he doesn't mind this when we spray a good amount into our palm and rub it on his skin. Seems to work well at protecting from burns. I also appreciate that it has a very mild scent as I'm picky about that.

My favorite sunscreen for kids
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2)
This is my favorite sunscreen to use for my kids. The spray on type is so much easier to use. This specific one seems to last longer on than most other brands, including when going in the water.
