Portulacaria afra 'Aurea'

Portulacaria afra 'Aurea' – Golden Elephant Bush

A stunning golden-leaved cultivar of the beloved Elephant Bush, Portulacaria afra 'Aurea' brings a warm, luminous glow to any succulent collection. Its small, rounded leaves shimmer in shades of chartreuse to golden-yellow, intensifying in bright light — a living jewel that practically glows on a sunny windowsill or outdoor shelf.

Imagine waking up to a cascade of golden foliage catching the morning sun. This compact, easy-care succulent rewards minimal attention with maximum visual impact, making it equally at home in a collector's display or a beginner's first pot.

• Bright, indirect to full sun brings out the richest gold colouration
• Drought-tolerant once established — water deeply, then allow to dry out fully
• Fast-growing and ideal for bonsai, trailing arrangements, or ground cover
• Non-toxic and wildlife-friendly
• Suited to AU climate zones; thrives outdoors in frost-free regions

Please note - plants may be shipped bare-rooted or semi bare-rooted to ensure safe packaging and protection during transit.
