Portulacaria Afra Variegata

The Portulacaria Afra Variegata — commonly known as the Variegated Elephant Bush or Variegated Jade Plant — is a stunning, easy-care succulent with small, rounded leaves edged in creamy white and soft green. Its trailing, reddish stems give it a graceful, cascading habit that looks spectacular in hanging baskets, on shelves, or trained into a bonsai-style form over time. A faster-growing and more forgiving alternative to the traditional jade plant (Crassula ovata), it's a favourite for both beginners and collectors alike.
