theGardenPages.com Portulacaria Afra Growth and Care

This succulent plant is sometimes called Baby Jade or Elephant Food.

It has small round leaves and thin branches like a miniature jade plant.

The bright green leaves make a nice contrast to the dark brown stems.

Some portulacaria varieties are variegated, meaning they have white or red stripes on the leaves.

In container gardens they can used for bonsai to look like trees.

In the ground Elephant Food will quickly grow to 4 – 5 feet tall and make nice informal screens or hedges.
