Portulacaria succulents, popularly known as elephant bush, elephant food or spekboom, are easy to grow and maintain and oh-so easy to admire. Portulacaria afra, Portulacaria afra 'Variegata' (variegated elephant bush), Portulacaria afra 'Prostrata' and Portulacaria 'Mammoth' (big-leaved elephant bush) are among the possibilities in this assorted four-pack. Elephant bush makes a tough, deeply green, heat-resistant foundation plant in succulent gardens in mild areas. Others forms spread along the ground or spill over hanging baskets or retaining walls. Variegated elephant bush, featuring yellow leaves with green midstripes, shines in mixed planters and hanging baskets. No green thumb required to please these plants and no need for fancy soil. These succulents shine with cactus and succulent soil or even in landscapes with poor, sandy, well-draining native soil. They appear rarely, but the tiny pink flowers add interest during summer..should they come.
