Portulacaria afra ‘Medio-picta’ - Exact Plant in 5 inch pot (D0290)

US Seller – You Will Purchase the Exact Plant Pictured!

The Portulacaria afra ‘Medio-picta’, also known as Variegated Elephant Bush, is a stunning and easy-care succulent prized for its creamy white and lime green leaves edged in pink, especially when grown in bright light. With a compact, trailing growth habit and woody stems, it’s a perfect choice for bonsai lovers, hanging pots, or succulent arrangements. Unlike its wild cousin, this variegated form adds a touch of elegance and color to any indoor or outdoor plant collection.

Care Instructions
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun. For the pink margins to really pop, give it several hours of bright light daily.
Water: Allow the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings. It stores moisture in its thick stems and leaves—don’t overwater!
Humidity: Loves dry air. No misting required.
Temperature: Thrives in 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect from frost—this beauty is not cold-hardy.
💡 Pro Tip: The more sun it gets, the more vibrant the pink edges become. Gradually increase sun exposure to avoid sunburn.
